Lithium also works for depression but is the gold standard for mania and hypo. If they were about to hospitalize u, it sounds more mania than hypo. What r ur symptoms exactly?

Hi!

That sounds like something I should talk to my doctor about. Like I said, I'm terrified of gaining weight again. I'm still on my weightloss journey.

Well, typical is I can't fall asleep and my brain is racing. Sometimes the thoughts get so intense I get exhausted and I'm so mentally awake I almost start to shake. I spend recklessly without care, normally I'm good with money. I can also become obsessive and sit with something for hours without being able to stop. I call it hyper-focus. I get really confident (which Is a nice side effect) and everything seems possible. I wanna go out and conquer the world and it must happen in that second. I also have a real easy time tipping over from really happy to super angry and suffer from terrible rage. I can get so angry over a tiny change in detail and it's probably the hardest part. I also cry super easily and get really emotional for no reason. When I'm depressed I can't really cry or show much emotion. I feel nothing then.

I also have add and I don't know enough about this combination.

I have had two hypomanic times where I did some crazy stuff. Like planned a spontaneous trip to Australia to meet a guy I barely knew and doing things so out of character.
