Sorry if I missed anyone!

@MuddyBoots
You know. Sorry you had to experience an ED too. I definitely know what that's like (which is why it is in my signature). I still struggle with those thoughts.

As for me, I'm still a little elevated. I think it's getting somewhat better though. Better enough that H is going into work today and leaving me home with my daughter. Though daughter is 16 and pretty much sleeps, surfs the internet and texts all day. I suppose that's typical at that age. I have a nephew who is 17 and my sister says he does the same except he plays more video games and texts a bit less.

I only slept 5 hr. last night (broken sleep 3 times). Better than 3 hr., I suppose. I went to bed early, but DAYNM! 300 mg of Seroquel and 50 mg of trazodone only knocked me out for 2.5 hr. That used to be good for 8-9 hr. a night. I got up at 4 AM even b/c my cat jumped on me. She is a bit overweight and it's always an OOMPH! when she takes a running leap and jumps on me in my sleep. But sometimes she settles on me or right next to me in bed, and their is nothing quite so good as having a purring cat right there with you.

I walked this morning. Around 30 minutes. I was aiming for exactly 30 min. I'm a bit OCD but I don't talk about it much because it's minor, I feel like a fraud half the time to even mention it, but walking or jogging, I really aim to return home exactly on the hour or half hour and/or on the exact mile or half mile. I rarely do unless I walk 3 or 6 times around the block and I don't do that any more because it is BORING! I LOVE to walk/jog to the park. I power walk a little after warmup, maybe 10 min. then slow down but I still have to swing my arms like power walking b/c I have Raynaud's and in warm/hot/cold weather my fingers swell like sausages if I hang my hands down walking more than 5 min. outdoors. But I've found even walking at a slower pace, this method has the benefit of toning the upper arms.

I usually stop a bit at the park. I like to swing some on the swings. It's cheesy but FUN. Today I couldn't swing though b/c there were still puddles of water and mud on the swings from recent rains. Best of all there's a working water fountain in the park, so I stop there too. And the sidewalks don't have debris and cars blocking them, so I don't have to walk in the street. I saw they put quite a few tension weight machines outdoors in the park, and they are not at all in use this time of the morning. After I get more used to walking, I want to try them out.

I still have pressured talking. Now, I usually go into a room where H is not working while he's busy with his work at home. That way I don't break his concentration.

Still writing posts that are too long. I have that problem, unfortunately. No longer having delusions of talking with God, though to be honest, I kind of liked the convos with God. They were interesting. Half the time I almost WANT to actually go into psychosis because then I hallucinate with the God convos and that is SO interesting, not scary. But I also black out most everything else that happens with in psychosis, whole days even and wake up in a psych hospital, confused where I am. Last time it was restraints, whole nine yards, made worse because I'd lost my voice too from yelling and couldn't communicate with any personnel AT ALL. That in itself was another notch on the old PTSD belt.

Haven't overspent yet today, and I didn't go walking until first light though I REALLY wanted to go while it was still dark. Walked in the street again, but the sidewalk here are always blocked by vehicles & debris, uneven, more dangerous than the road, I think. Better concentration. Not great, except I can concentrate to write on this forum?! Still feel all my ideas are BRILLLIANT and must be shared with others!!

Life is SO good, and I don't want hypo to be over though H and daughter do. I haven't been able to stay in hypomania this long while on meds before going into psychosis, so I'm enjoying it. At this rate, I'll be down by the weekend, and I'm afraid because deep depression usually follows my manic episodes. I often skip over the stability step
