Had racing thoughts last night. This made me very nervous because I don't want to go full manic again. I was about to drive myself to the hospital but I opted to go to the support group that I go to on Thursday nights. I got a good night of sleep and that seemed to help today.
I decided to come clean with my wife and admit that I've be rapid cycling over the last week (we're separated). She told me that she knew I was going a little manic because of my quick speech and the frenetic content of the messages I left her. It's been a little over a week since I've increased the dosage of lithium and resumed taking Geodon and I think it's starting to stabilize me. I tried to get a hold of my pdoc today just to run by my condition to her but I was a little miffed that she didn't return my call. Now I will have to wait until Tuesday for another attempt. I'll take life as it happens but I just hope I don't wind up fully manic again. Also, I hope to avoid a hospital stay. I'll do it if is necessary though. My best hope is for renewed stability. I know other people on this site have some similar struggles. I wish them well. It's good to know that I'm not alone. Sorry for the long post, just needed to vent. |

 Full-blown mania is awful, and I hope you can avoid it. Please try to hang in there until Tuesday, hoping your days are as stable as possible.

Thanks all! Yes, I agree, full mania is the worst. My last time was in 2006 and I'm hoping upon hope that that was the last time. I'm feeling better today. No racing thoughts and the depression is much more mild than it was last weekend. I'm going back to work tonight (I work nights) and I always feel better at work so that should help. Anyway, thanks again to all. I really appreciate the support.
