Still getting up readily (so weird, lol!) and getting things done, but not feeling as manic-y about it. Yesterday hit a patch of bad agitation. Keeping an eye on things. I don't know whether it's a blip, if the "up" is turning on me or if it's beginning a crash. Also wondering if the Abilify might be involved. Is it pulling me back into orbit? Evening me out? I've considered things to be going well and this is time I've been on it, though it is a low dose. Have an appointment with the prescriber next week.

Hopefully the agitation was just a blip. Because damn, I want to be doing well. It's been so nice being motivated and getting things done. (And when I can stay above being dragged down by a very frustrating life circumstance, it's golden.)

Guess we'll see. Hope level is decent. I was really struck when having that spell how quickly (and gladly!) we forget when things are going well and "can't see" why we can't just keep that going because it comes so easily at the time. How we can know the bad stuff intellectually, but not FEELING it at the time, it has a sense of unreality. It "can't" really happen. Can it?

Yeah, rhetorical question.
