I feel absolutely horrible right now. My anxiety and stress levels are so high right now that I can't stand it. There is absolutely no reason for me to feel this way because right now I don't have too many stressors going on in my life. Also, I've made some impulsive purchases in the last few weeks. My thoughts are not racing any more than normal, and so far I'm sleeping okay. Is high stress and anxiety part of being manic? I had been taking lithium but had to stop because of really bad hand tremors. But I'll take the tremors over this anytime.

I can't get in to see my psychiatrist until September 24. She has a really long waiting list, but I am thinking about calling on Monday to see if she can work me in as an urgent patient.

Thank you.
