I have to say I'm loving stability right now. It's not as exciting as mania, but what I relief not to have all those racing thoughts crowding each other out in my head. And I'm able to read and concentrate on TV shows again! H says I still have more energy than usual and sometimes he'll think oh, it's great, she has energy again and other times he'll think, oh, no it's still from the mania. So IDK, but I feel calmer and I definitely am calmer than I was, not sure if it's still some hypomania. I hope not and would like this energy to last.

I am doing my best to limit my caffeine. I am still drinking decaf coffee in the morning, and lately, I haven't had any panic attacks in the AM. By afternoon, I usually give in and have a diet Coke, but that is much less than 3 or 4 in a day. I'm trying to drink more water even if I find water pretty boring. I squeezed some lime & lemon into my water today, and that's helped some.
