Seemingly at baseline and quite stable. Just a 90 minute rather severe depressive mood. Most surprisingly: no euphoria or ecstasy. Nothing to regret ( ). Grounded and in control (!).
If it has anything to do with the supplements it would probably be the vitamin E, the acetylcysteine or both. That there was not in any way anything manic might mean that all these things taken together keep me grounded.
I started to become depressed pretty much exactly 6 hours after I took the supplements, which is consistent with earlier findings. However, I didn't stay depressed for long.
Another remarkable, possibly the most remarkable, thing is that I only smoked 2 cigarettes between 2 and 8 pm. That would normally have been like 10–20 cigarettes, depending on whether I'm manic or not.
It could all be a coincidence because I woke up without depression but also no signs of mania. I will take the same supplements on Saturday.
Monday I'll start taking these supplements for one week without antipsychotic.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
