I'm not sleeping well so that's a problem. But I'm also not hypomanic. And I feel ok and not ok at the same time. But I feel better in several ways even though not better in other ways.

So am I satisfied? Partially, as is always the case. But can I live with things the way they are? Is it possible to do better than this? Tough questions.

I slept for 4 hours last night. I got up and worked on the book and a new article.


Happy Birthday to your Mom

Honestly the way you described how your feeling is exactly what you need to tell your Pdoc. Basically they need to know your riding the “uncomfortable fence”

I have tumbled into my pdocs office feeling exactly THAT

Do you chart your day mood ? There’s lots of Apps or you can easily do it on paper, which I sometimes prefer. It can help you see a pattern.

Hope the party was a lot of fun
