Hello. I am mainly here for my friend who has BP 1 w psychosis, but I was curious about myself today. So for the past month or so, I have been tracking my mood and it's so weird. It's literally going up and down and up and down. Last year I was put on Zoloft, and I kept telling my pdoc it was making me manic, but I realize now it could have been hypomanic. I went off it because of fatigue-related issues and I don't get that feeling anymore. But I was looking at the mood chart. The scale is -2 to +2. -2 is really low and +2 is really good. The bottom of the graph is -2, and the top is +2. I am unsure if this is just situational, but it looks weird to me. I posted a picture of my mood for the last 2 months or so here: Maybe it's just me who feels this. My periods of happiness may have a trend, but I know at times I feel like queen of the world and talk really fast and have ideas about me changing the world, and I usually quit a week or two later at it because of depression. I have had several depressive episodes that are seasonal affected in my opinion (always depressed every winter, my goodness). I would say these hyperactive episodes don't last long, but the depression does. Hyperactive is like a few hours to two days at most. The worst time was when I had like 4 hours of sleep and felt really energetic and whatever. But other than that, I consider myself in a "normal mood" until I fall into depression. It hasn't been bad yet (depression), but I suspect it to be soon. Actually, my depression is mainly winter, but sometimes summer, but that is mainly related to the time I was
Possible trigger:
and I had to be with her everyday for a month after that. So that one is totally situational. I haven't had this "high" yet, but I hope I get it because I actually work and feel happy. If it's really bad, I annoy people and they tell me to calm down and take "a chill pill". I am unsure if this is something to be concerned about because I am just on Lexapro and I'm not hypomanic or anything at the moment. I said I just get mild hyperactive swings but bad depression. I still get "swings", like depression or possible hypomanic on the medication, but I read here people tend to get only hypomanic or manic on an AD. Anyways, should I be concerned in some way? The two month chart seems really extreme from high to low, but some of it may be situational. Anyways, thanks for anyone responding .
