II agree it is a good idea to see your psychiatrist if your symptoms go on too long. It sounds like you have hypomania. I know if I go too long without sleep, I go into full blown mania followed quickly by psychosis. I'm not sure if that is the case with you too or not. I hope you feel better soon. When is your next pdoc appt.?

@Lady Shadow
When is your next pdoc appt.? If you feel your depression is going on too long, you should call your pdoc anyway if you feel your next appt is too far off.

@raspberrytorte
Face it, you have full blown MANIA, not hypomania. Your symptoms are NOT hypomania.

Here is a list from Mayo Clinic of symptoms of FULL- BLOWN mania:
Abnormally upbeat, jumpy or wired
Increased activity, energy or agitation
Exaggerated sense of well-being and self-confidence (euphoria)
Decreased need for sleep
Unusual talkativeness
Racing thoughts
Distractibility
Poor decision-making — for example, going on buying sprees, taking sexual risks or making foolish investment (SUCH AS suddenly SPENDING a lot of money on going to Amsterdam, going so far as to spend even MORE money to pay your friend's way on the trip). We all know how overspending is a sign of mania too.

Your husband seems to be your major support system. You almost never even mention your friend in all your posts here. Have you considered that? Your husband NEEDS to drag you to the pdoc. If I had your symptoms, my husband would call my pdoc and if the pdoc refused to see me, drag me kicking and screaming to my pdoc's office, insisting he see me, and if my pdoc still refused to see me, dragging me kicking and screaming to the psych emergency room ASAP.

The other symptoms you describe are symptoms of delusions and psychosis s, beyond classic mania symptoms. Those are not even see your pdoc ASAP symptoms but symptom to go to the psych emergency room.

Take care of yourself. I am worried about you. You NEED to reach out to your pdoc ASAP, you WANT to go to AMSTERDAM not NEED to go to Amsterdam.


On another note, I am curious. What is the name of this band you want to see should badly? Maybe I should check them out and see if I like them and want to add them to my Spotify playlist!
