NOTHING about it was fun at all, and I was glad to get back to relative stability that time around.

I don't know that you even still are hypomanic but full-blown manic already.
All I know is in that state, H would have carted me straight to the psych ER, especially if I wasn't sleeping because for me full blown psychosis with blackouts follows on its heels.

Be careful, defintely steer away from caffeine if you aren't already.
I had a Starbucks Frappuccino this morning - the kind that comes in a glass bottle that you buy at the grocery store. But if I go out for coffee- a habit I need to cut down on as over the last month I’ve maxed out one of my credit cards buying stupid ****- then I order decaf. Then I had my morning meds including 1 mg of Klonopin. Luckily I’m still in bed. I can so relate with feeling wide awake yet exhausted from lack of sleep. (Nothing to do with coffee.). That was me this whole week especially Sunday. I wake up at 3 or 4 after going to bed around 11 or 12. My therapist friend said he thinks I’m hypomanic because of all the texts I sent him yesterday but my Pdoc yesterday mentioned full-blown mania. My Pdoc is letting me keep trying the Vraylar 3 mg new dose to give it time to kick in. She doesn’t want me in the psych hospital unless absolutely necessary because they’ll change my meds and I’ve failed with so many meds over the last 20 years. We did that Genesight DNA test and Vraylar is in the green zone so it’s more likely to not have bad side effects. Of course I take cogentin and Ingrezza for side effects. I’m a mess without them. Anyway, my sister totally fed into my beliefs that I am a prophet and can hear God talking to me and can see angels. We talked for two and a half hours about it on the phone earlier this week! My pnurse was not happy to hear this.
