I went to my mailbox today and found my pdoc at upped my dosage of lithium. I called him to confirm and he said from my last blood draws, I'd probably been manic for about 1 1/2 months.
I thought about this a lot today and it explains why I have sudden cravings to do things I wouldn't normally do. I also thought about my very brief affair with a man. And I though WITH A MAN! What was I thinking? I called my therapist and we talked for a while and she noticed that I was very upset about this. I told her that I don't date men but I actually though I was in love with him and today I'm like ehhh, forget about it. I did get hurt when he dumped me for his ex (his ex dumped him for Valentines Day dinner tonight) Karma. I hate when my mania goes this far and it scares me. What do you all do to calm down? My thoughts are just racing! Help!

I followed your story ... so glad that you are over it and doing well (I have been with someone into strange fetishs). Glad that your Pdoc realized that you were elevated and changed the meds. Had something similar happen with my thyroid that effected my bp a month or so ago and didn't realize until we saw the blood counts and said ahhhhhhhh.
Was also going to say I have to play a lesbian next week in my acting class good news is my scene partner is roughly the same age (both 40) and It's really good scene - very emotional. Have to rehearse all week with the hubby though...ugh! It will be fun to work with a women though so much emotion.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope that your play goes well and you feel okay with doing the more intimate (not necessarily physical scenes). I must say, a lot of us lesbians have played straight people...this is a new perspective.

Thanks you all. As soon as I get a little more stablized I'll be able to be more supportive and more often. Right now I am focusing on me because I have not be doing that.
It's nice to be missed!

yup- you have been missed! Glad the mania was picked up, and things didnt continue being out of control. You'll see life settle down pretty quickly. You have a very good backup in the form of your pdoc and T. Please keep posting.
Lara-all the best for the play. I agree that a scene like that will be very emotional and intimate, but that's what women are known for! |

Just going through the post breakup phase of a relationship I had with a narcissist. The ones that see other people as objects that can supply them with whatever they need (usually ego stroking, addoration, that kind of thing). And when they find someone else to give it to them, they just disappear from your life.
I'm finding it a little harder to recover because I am re-researching narcissism and one of the traits is that they can't love, they covet.
