Hello
OK, thanks for these responses.
It has occurred to me that this can be hypomania, and certainly I feel hypomanic most of the time. Also, diet methods of addressing bipolar have I think triggered hypomania before, and certainly I think seriously about this possibility.
Also, last night I did have a bit of a bipolar episode.
But, what I have noticed recently by combining diet, the course of vitamins, and other wellness strategies (exercise and meditation, etc...), is that I have become less impulsive and reactive, more even, less racing thoughts, greater mental acuity, etc...
These are not properties of hypomania.
For years I have not been able to read, I am reading now.
I don't know, I'm not trying to say I'M CURED, but a consideration of these methods seems worthwhile, so the response 'you sound hypomanic' is a bit disappointing.
After all, the most likely prescription for bipolar is Lithium often, which is a salt that is already found in the body, so if you believe in taking Lithium, don't you already believe that some kind of mineral supplement is a possible way of treating bipolar?
Even if it turns out that this is not a cure all, it seems to have the possibility to curb symptoms of bipolar, which could lead to lesser reliance on medication.
No?
Anyhow, if anyone has any further thoughts I'd be curious to hear them.

And bizi, yes, I am interested in natural methods of addressing sleep like melatonin. I've found that to have an effect similar to marijuana, not so much with the high, but the next day I feel groggy, I've been looking at Kava.
Anyhow, thoughts?
