The fog hasn't gone away and I am not sure it will. It doesn't change much whether I am up or down. But my current mix of meds and the dosages seem to have me sitting in a good place. Not hypo and not depressed. Something good happened and I was really happy and pumped about it. But then when I was heads down working on something else, there was no lingering euphoria. This is a good thing; I got serious about the task at hand but wasn't dejected or unhappy. When I related my good news to others, I would get happy and pumped again. That's how it is supposed to work, right? It's been so long since it was like this for me that I barely remember it. Either I was a little too euphoric about it and slipped into "everything is awesome because I am wonderful" or I was dejected before and after a manged a half hearted smile.
I just hope this lasts. Now, about that fog...
