I spent 9 hours cleaning yesterday. Upstairs is spotless. downstairs is good. Couldn't sleep last night. Decided today that I wanted to paint a chalkboard on my daughters wall and ran up to the store even though her friend was on the way over. They isn't have it so when her friend goes we're heading to another store to get it and then paint the first layer. At least I get stuff done.

I looooves me some hypomania! I'm all kinds of happy and I get stuff done. Unfortunately, it tends to turn on me sometimes and continue on into a nasty, irritable mania that damages my life in any number of ways.

Recently I came out of my first-ever true mixed episode, and if I never experience another one it'll still be a day too soon. My pdoc calls it 'dysphoric mania', and it SUCKS. For almost two weeks, I was racing around the house and yard, scrubbing the bathroom floorboards with a toothbrush and sobbing uncontrollably. I'd also sit up in bed till 3 AM or even later, staring into the dark and thinking suicidal thoughts---I almost called the crisis line the night before I got smart and called my doctor instead. He doubled up my antipsychotic and that settled me down within days. What a cluster-F that episode was---I really thought I was going crazy.

I hope you do well too! My problem is that my body is exhausted but I can't shut off my brain and I HATE that.

I'm so tired but I can't sleep.

This is how I lost my job too. I'd get all hypo and kick *** and then shortly following, crash and burn and everything I did prior would go to hell.

The only thing I am grateful for is that I know now what caused my downfall.

Good luck tomorrow!!!
