I have been in what I describe as a mild hypomania for almost two months. I don't know if there is such a thing, but that's how it seemed. I protested that it wasn't hypomania. I guess that made it feel more genuine. I think I knew deep down that it couldn't last. My sleep and rest were reduced. I was on the go all the time.

I feel like I have crashed, not particularly depressed or anxious, but decidedly Blah! My sleep is no better but the elation has gone. The energy I had discovered seems to have turned in on me. I can't focus on anything outside of myself.

I don't know what support I expect. I just wanted to get it off my chest. It sometimes helps me if I write what I am feeling.

Clive
Thanks for this!

Sorry that things are tough... there sometimes is a price to pay for the good times
I know it is hard but try to get enough but not retreat to all day in bed...
It's a hard balance sometimes.
Can you talk with your doctors about a med change?
Hope you are feeling better soon.

I always seem to have a coming down period too after a hypomanic spell, that brings me really low. Talking to the doc is a great suggestion to help during this time and the T too if you see someone. It will pass and balance is around the corner, take good care of yourself right now and hang in there. ((((((CliveWild)))))))))

Be extra kind to yourself, Clive. Give yourself a little time to adjust and don't feel badly for focusing on your self for a while. Sending you some positive vibes.

((((((Clive))))))) Just want to offer you my support as well. I'm so sorry the Blah feelings have returned. You've been doing so well and it's been great to hear. I really hope you're in a good place again soon
