My main challenge is to keep the stress levels down with a routine and exercise so they don’t flip me into a different state, and to “collect”positive experiences and relationships to draw on. Hugs,Bird! You’re a lot of pretty birds in one! I can imagine one pecking on a computer!

ADDING TO MY RESPONSE:
Ah the frustration of not being able to accomplish as much plus the misery when we go to the down side, yet having disorganizd and sometimes distorted thinking and that nutty feeling when we go above baseline. I accomplish more, yet get in more trouble when I am hypomanic. Going Monday (a positive thing for my bday) to talk about getting rid of the Wellbutrin, which pushs me into hypomania and adding or substituting another stabilizer.
