Hey there, I'm new here but I hope that doesn't put anyone off from hopefully having some input or advice.
I was diagnosed as having bipolar in around 2010 after spending a good chunk of my late teens and early adulthood in and out of the hospital in various mood states. A few years ago we moved away from the city and out to basically the middle of nowhere to try and lead a less stressful lifestyle and a quieter place to raise a family. I had meant to find a new doctor after we moved but I was stable and I apparently never got around to it. After a few years the whole bipolar thing kind of slipped my mind, I had been stable off of medication for years so I figured maybe it was a thing of the past?
Anyways, fast forward to the past couple weeks and I seem to be not doing so great again.
I don't feel bad, on the contrary I feel like the best thing since sliced bread. I'm getting tons done at work, everything I build is a masterpiece and my boss is pretty happy with me. I feel like I could conquer the world, I've got so many ideas that could help people I'm pretty sure if I put my mind to it I could actually solve world hunger and find world peace. I feel like talking to everyone and people want to talk to me! Problem is I can't sit still, at all. I can't shut up, at all, and what I say doesn't seem to have any filter. If I concentrate really hard I can sit still and be quiet for maybe 10 minutes but then it's a lost cause after. I can tell it's driving my wife nuts. Another problem is I'm having a tough time focusing on anything, there's just so much going on in my head and around me, even when it's quiet I can hear music playing (which is kind of making it hard to hear people talking to me)
Anyways, for the most part I just feel like I'm in a great mood, maybe a couple small concerns but nothing to go to a doctor about right? That's what my wife wants, I think. She hasn't really said much about it come to think of it.
Hopefully someone can make out what I wS trying to do with this post, I seem to have lost my train of thought somewhere in the middle. Basically I just want opinions on if I should be concerned with how I feel right now.
