I was so manic yesterday, but I felt awesome! H and my daughter thought less that I was awesome or that I could do anything. For the past week, I've had mistakes in my pillbox; I'm a walking pharmacy, so it's hard to refill my pills. My H called my pdoc to get a list of how and what meds I take when. Hopefully my mania was brought about by pill mistakes and cutting my Seroquel in half so I was taking 150 mg instead of 300 mg as prescribed. I can't believe my H called the pdoc after mania of less than 12 hrs.
But the Seroquel makes me SOOO sleepy and fat, and I need to lose weight. I have gotten so fat that nearly half of my clothes don't fit any more and I only have 2 pairs of nice shorts for a hot summer. I am SOO fat. IDK, maybe it's my history of ED that I think that. I used to weigh 110 lb. and now I weigh 125 lb. I'm not that tall, only 5'4". But I think that is very fat for me. I'm trying to do more walking and jogging. I started couch2 10K, but today is a rest day. I wanted to go walking today, but it's raining outside, so I did pilates. I'm still on beginner pilates, but I chose a new video today for the first time ever and it was much harder than my old standby, so that was good.
Bad thing is I still woke up hearing voices. Ugh. They say harmless stuff, not like it's directions for me to do X or talking one on one with God or something. Though I actually love the one on ones with God.
I'm sad I'm less manic today, but maybe still hypomanic, so that's good. But with mania, I felt SOOO alive and had endless energy. Also, I never wanted to eat, and that was a plus for weight loss.
I promised H and my daughter (16 years old) that I will take my meds as prescribed and have a weekly checklist when refilling meds. Such a pain. And also I promised no tinkering around with my meds. Such a pain.

Pdoc also added lamotrigine and hydroxyzine to my meds.
