I ask this because I just plain don't know. I think I've been pretty stable for a couple of days after having a manic episode that lasted about 3 weeks. BUT, I still have to force myself to eat and I still can't sleep/even feel need for sleep. I slept for 4 hours yesterday night but that still leaves me at only 4 hours of sleep for 5 days awake. Sleep's not looking good for tonight either so shoot! And I guess I'm still real irritable. But other than that I'd say I feel completely normal and fine.
I ask this because I want to know whether or not it will come back before a doctor appointment next week and whether or not I should call my doctor to move it closer to now. Plus I'm worried that I'm gonna get hit by a terrible depression because I haven't quite comprehended all I've done... I don't have much experience with mania so I'm wondering if the process goes kinda like waves and troughs...can symptoms that are seemingly constant for weeks disappear for a couple days only to reappear again? |

It sounds like you've gone into a hypomanic state. Which means you still can go further up or crash. Do you have a prn for sleep? I would just call and tell them you've slept 4 hrs in the last 5 days and see what they suggest.

Obviously this is not enough sleep so you are still having an episode. I agree with MM in that you went from mania to hypomania, but you are not stable.

Haha wait I think I have it back! Umm, yeah I think the minute I become manic again I feel like I'm gonna refuse help because I love it so much. Even now I still have that feeling of "I'm good I can handle all" but to a much lesser extent. Haha I'm really rambling aren't I...I'll try to get back on track. HAH! I've been writing this response for 45 minutes now(oooooh almost morning!)...here comes that constant smile again!! Yep there it is!

Prn means a med you take as needed

Because you don't want to call the doctor I strongly suggest going to the store and getting a vitamin called melatonin.

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