Hi
I'm saying this because things have been going really well lately. I finished my class and will graduate in December. The problem is I think I'm starting to have delusions. I'm starting to think that people know what I'm thinking, or that at times I can pry into their mind. Last night at dinner I felt like the entire conversation was about me. Everything everyone said was somehow correlated to what I was thinking at that moment and their attempt to control me. I yelled about this on the way back from Red Lobster when my mom was making fun of my dad for going to a really nice instead of our car. She said "come back to reality." After already thinking that I'm losing my mind I explode on the way back when my brother tells me to "just be happy." Sister says "not on dad's birthday." I'm like "**** you, you don't know what it's like." I'm pissed because I was doing real well. I'm on 750mg of depakote. Recently been looking into lucid dreaming and had alcohol last weekend. |

It sounds like you got manic. I hope you can find a way to control or cope with this. I've had that experience when manic, it's very uncomfortable.

When you take any kind of psych medication it increases the sensitivity to alcohol. When I drink (even if its just one beer) I skip mess and prepare myself for some destabilization. Its sad because I like drinking but the side effects keep me from doing it for the most part.
If you think you are becoming manic you can ask your doctor for a temporary prn of something and discontinue it after 2-3 weeks. I do this with lithium and it works for me so long as I catch it early enough. Another thing that helps is trying something to regulate sleep. Stabilizing sleep can help.

I'd say call your doctor and relay this story. Something is not right. And I agree- drinking isn't the best idea. But lucid dreams are cool- enjoy!

Yea, mania or some form of psychosis. It's coming back today. I'm just tripping out and listening to music right now. Got a doc appointment tomorrow at 9. I'm trying to enjoy it.
