It's great that your mania has passed! Do you feel like you are entering stability now?
I am an avid reader when I'm stable. I have a hard time reading books when I'm manic. What type of books do you like to read?
I think it's fantastic that you took away lessons in love and other things while manic.

Your dog is so cute! Is he mixed breed or pure-bred?

iIt's always great to hear from you! I hope you have a fun time but sorry about your sleep being off. I completely understand trying to read posts on a phone. It is terribly difficult!

Last night I was SO agitated I stayed up longer than usual. I never thought I'd wish mania to pass but I did and I do. It is just too much input at once. When I was stable, I wished for mania because staility seemed SO boring.

But somehow the Seroquel and Trazodone kicked in and I was able to sleep for three hours. Then I woke up but only for 10, 15 minutes and fell back to sleep for 4 hr. Sleep is a wonderful thing!

I took a walk this morning. I made a mistake and took this straight road off the road that I live that also seems unproportionally long when you walk it. In truth it is not that far according to MapMyFitness and Couchto10K. I guess just because it doesn't really curve at all it just seemed LONG. I walked about 30 min. today, most at a slower pace, so I didn't even go that far.

I am all sweaty now, cooling down and drinking lots of water. As usual, it was very muggy out.

The day seems great so far except I started my walk while still dark. I could swear it was light at 6 AM yesterday, but today it took 10, 15 min. for first light. Maybe we have some chance of rain. That always keeps it darker longer in the AM. I know I should have waited for light but I was so eager to start my walk I HAD to go.

I feel a LOT calmer this morning than last night Thank God! Those racing thoughts were so fast they were horrible!

Yes, I post a lot when manic, very sorry about that. SO many thoughts I just HAVE to share. It's better than causing irritability and interruptions with my family. I hope nobody minds. It's just part of the nature of my mania.

Ugh! I'm having problems following TV programs I like again
