I was IP in May, I was SI. came out feeling well. I than went through another little down phase mid June. I have been taking latuda along with my lithium and depakote. For about 2.5 weeks. I do feel better(I say that quietly cause I always feel it jynx's me). I saw my Doc yesterday and told him I was feeling a bit to good, but wasn't sure if it was just a normal good or hypo good. I am usually in the bottom half of the stability line-depressed. So my sleep is on and off, some good nights , some bad.

When I took my nephew's to the pool I went down the water slides and did dives for them off the board, as I have been a spring board diver since the age of 8. Now not saying my 47 yr old body is not feeling it today is a diff story.

Normally I sit at the pool and just tan and am ho-hum. So doc says lets keep an eye on this. I also have been wanting to do drugs and get an even bigger high/lift. I did no tell him that.

any advice on to what I should look for or what takes it to the point of mania? I feel in control now. The other problem is , my husband travels for work and is gone for 2 to 4 day stretches.

Hypo and mania is kind of new to me. It is normally mild and short lived.
