So, it's after midnight and I chocked up another day of sobriety.

Still hypomanic and intermittently buzzing on my brain chemistry which can't be helped without adjusting meds to make me depressed instead (no thank you). I have actually been slightly hypomanic for more like 8 weeks with a small spike early on and another 4 days ago that I am still enjoying.

I actually enjoy bigger spikes also but other people don't. I become an arrogant jackass, but I don't realize it at the time; I think everyone around me just can't keep up with me because I am so brilliant. On the biggest spikes I get, I am still an arrogant jackass who is secretly immortal. The bigger spikes could also pose a danger to sobriety because I can rationalize pretty much anything.

One of my meds is a mania suppressant so hopefully I won't have a big spike, just these fun little ones.
