It looks like my period feeling awesome is coming to an end. Day before yesterday I noticed I was having a bit of cycling. Nothing too major so I pretty much ignored it. Yesterday was a bit worst and I had a few episodes of mixed states. Songs would come on the radio I would barely be able to keep from crying while, at the same time, I wanted to rip somebody's head off. I'd be happy but yet feel depressed. I HATE that feeling. Today has been absolutely horrible. I was up until after 4:00 with my five month old, got into bed at 5:00 and didn't go to sleep until around 6:00. I woke up at around 10:00. Emotionally today has been hell. I'm rapid cycling. I'm having mixed states. I can't think straight. I can't take a nap because I get woken up or my mind won't shut down. Last night I kept silencing the TV because I kept hearing whispering and bells ringing.

I'm wondering if I should up my Seroquel to 75 mg. or wait and see how I feel in a few days. I am so upset that I've ended up in this condition. I've felt better than I have in over two and a half years the past few months. I was hoping that would continue but instead I'm sliding down the proverbial hill.

I don't know that I'd suffer a few more days, you might just get worse. I'd call your pdoc tomorrow and get okay to up the seroquel. If you already have okay, then up it now. I've heard that hearing things is a sign of worse things to come.

i hate that feeling as things slide out of control... the anticipation of how bad it can get, the memories, the sense of failure...
remember that it is not always going to be as bad as you imagine, but be sensible and make the best plans that you can to combat it: sleep as much as you can, talk to your pdoc and/or T, take your meds.
talk to your pdoc before you change your meds unless you have previously discussed what to do in this situation.
