Holy mackerel........back when I was stuck in the middle of that long mixed episode, I never thought I'd ever feel this awesome again. The last uptick in my Lamictal two weeks ago really kicked the last of the depression and dysphoria, and now I feel like a pardoned life prisoner.
 I'm just soaking up all of the enjoyment, all of the beauty, all of the music and laughter and color like a sponge, wishing I could ride this magical wave forever and trying to memorize it for a later time when the tide goes out again. I haven't felt THIS good in years! I've finally got some energy, and there is almost no anxiety---I can't even remember the last time I was this chilled-out. Maybe I've NEVER been mellow without being stoned out of my gourd, which I haven't been in a looooooong time. (Olivia Newton-John's voice just popped into my head: "Have You Never Been Mellow"....gads, what a stupid song.) Whatever this euphoria is from, I love it and hope it lasts awhile, because I've been through several circles of hell the past couple of years. Too bad we BPers can't get stuck on a 'high'.....I'm really, really enjoying this.

Me too! Whenever I am hypomanic, it feels like it will never end. It's like a gift.
My 2 cents: enjoy!! |

I'll echo the other posters, ENJOY IT! Keep an eye that you don't go too high though (sorry to rain on your parade.)

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
