I should have recognized it sooner. Oh well... better late than never. I got banned for 7 days from one of my fav websites for breaking a rule I had no clue even existed. I had some important things going on there too. Like, did I really need this at this moment?

My Bipolar seems to run on a 4 month cycle. I however sometimes skip the depressions, but rarely skip a manic. I forgot to pay attention. My memory is failing me too, which does not help, because I forget when my last issue hit me. I know I was having SI awhile back, but I forget how long ago it was. I cannot place it in time hardly at all. I don't recall a season that it happened in. It was probably about 4 months ago, I just can't remember for sure. So I had no real way to predict this MANIC.

I upped one medication a little at bedtime and cut it back at breakfast, to make up the difference. This helps some, as it aids sleep a bit. It was making me tired in the mornings. So that was why I changed it. My Pdoc usually allows me to make such decisions. He is lenient about such things. Just as long as I am not taking too much of my medication, it is OK.
