Next day, spent maybe 6-8 hours or so beyond sad and hopeless. Just awful. Nearly tearful, which happens fewer than one time per year. Nothing happened to prcipitate this, No sad news, nothing bad. Just my brain. Finally, slept some, sleep has been off for a few days after being quite good for many days previously. So, after thar pretty good sleep, feeling euthymic most of today.
So, I am clearly all over the freaking map. No idea. No recent med shifts. Dunno. Dunno.

Thank you for sharing this with me. It helps to know that I'm not alone. I'm going to continue to carefully monitor mood and sleep. I think that's the key to staying on top of this for me. I can't believe how fast I blew through this depression. It was pretty much crippling for me, and unprovoked. No triggers brought it, just that mania ended. I'm hoping that I end up in a middle ground for a period of time. I'm still in depression sleep-mode, so it may not be the end of that just yet.
Thanks again, @
bpcyclist! I appreciate your support even though you are in the middle of it too. Hang in there!
