Hi all, I am struggling a bit (could be worse, but still not pleasant). I am so irritable, sensory sensitive and distracted, plus feel my mood is dropping a bit and feel tearful and negative. I am trying to keep perspective. Also, I am supposed to give a big presentation in two hours, and have been interviewing for jobs lately and I am just trying so hard to act normal when I feel like a mess.

I called the resident I see for psych meds and he said it sounds like I am describing some symptoms of hypomania but not typical. He is prescribing Gabapentin. Has anyone tried this?

He told me that it is complicated to follow what I am saying often (I know, it's complicated for me to follow, too :/) and suggested I track my moods again. Funny thing is I sort of was but was just too scattered to find that paper or recount anything clearly. He also said it's tough because I am moving in a month so it's not like they can do too much. I feel all anxious about that, like I just don't want to start over with someone yet feel I should move for other reasons. Even though he was nice I feel like a burden calling all the time with med reactions and rambling making it hard for him. That's probably my low mood talking, though. No point it dwelling.

Please send the goddess of clear thoughts my way so I do not totally bomb this presentation in two hours. Haha.

Hope everyone is doing okay, will try to catch up soon.
