bluebicycle, I'm glad to read that the cogentin may be helping. I don't recall it affecting my appetite, but we're all different.

I just got home from seeing my therapist. I realized at the end that my session was one long rant about politics...and other stuff. When she first opened the door to her waiting room and saw me, she commented on my outfit. Actually, I had planned to ask her what she thought of it. I told her that I wanted "brutal honesty". I said that I wanted to know if I should wear it to my French class this evening. She said that she thinks it's fine, that people there may just think I'm a little creative. So, I'll wear it. It's just so comfortable. My shirt has a flowery pattern with a tied bottom. My pants are sear sucker with vertical blue stripes. I'm wearing thick blue socks, and have blue sneaker-like shoes.

I feel perfectly stable, but I know I ranted, but that's not that abnormal for me. She did ask me if I felt hypomanic. Actually, she asked it in a more benign way, like "So, do you think your a little hypomanic...or depressed....or something." Obviously, I'm not depressed. I told her that maybe my mood was slightly higher than last week, but I indicated it as being teeny, by showing a centimeter space between by right thumb and pointer finger. She asked if discontinuing the Latuda might have a played a part. I don't think so. I told her it's just the very start of my spring upswing. Little, teeny. She's obviously heard/seen my rants and displays before, but maybe my "show" was a little more dramatic today. I can gesticulate a lot and use language for specific emphasis.
