With my recent med change, I’ve entered the happy and productive hypo phase and I love it. I wasn’t tired after 28 hours of no sleep and an overnight shift. Got a lot done and was smiling for the first time in weeks. I don’t want it to end!

But I also know that I have Bipolar 1 and this happy, elated feeling with soon become irritable, angry, poor choices Mania without the new mood stabilizer.

Why can’t I just hold onto this feeling right now!?!
