This week I've noticed continued improvement in focus and "normal"; I guess I just thought when the mania broke, that end state was what I'd be stuck with. (normal enough I guess, but serious work was still really a problem). This week, well over a month since I first got help, I've finally been able to focus on serious cognitive work for 4+ hours straight. Honestly, the first time I've done that in at least a couple years, and maybe a bit longer as my memory is trashed pretty good.
