Okay -- so today, I can honestly say I am hypo.
Interestingly, now that I am more attentive to my emotions, feelings, etc...I noticed that over the course of the last few nights, I have not slept well, or woke up a lot, slept in odd positions, tossed and turned a lot. Today, I woke up feeling totally rushed, internally I feel like I am buzzing, like I can't slow down the speed things are coming at me. Like I can only handle one thing at a time. Have an over-riding feeling I am missing something important....hyper as hell...twitchy almost. Not hungry in the least. Feeling like I just can't keep up with stuff...my thoughts....etc...and I know I have felt like this before...but never really allowed myself to examine it and consider it for it is...hypo-mania. Very interesting, uncomfortable, but interesting. |

Yeah, I'm right there with you, except that my hypomania is mixed with irritability and some depression mixed in...
Still, I'd rather be hypomanic than fully depressed.

yeah -- I don't what a mixed state would feel like, or if I have ever had one....probably...but I don't know...this is all new to me....I always brushed off my odd feelings to be something I ate, a hang over, or whatever...then I quit drinking and I figured these feelings would go away...nope...then I was diagnosed...so I am still learning to judge myself.

Mixed states are awful! I'm usually bouncing off the walls yelling 90mph about killing myself or bawling my eyes out while hyperactively running all over the place (sometimes out of town because I get so restless).
Anyway, that's not what your thread was about  I'm in some sort of medicated version of mania too. I don't know what to expect as this is the first medicated one I've ever paid attention to. Last time, I ended up in legal trouble so we'll see... So far I don't feel "as much", like I'm less than usual... If that makes any sense. Sent from my MyTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk

That makes sense...I was recently put on Zoloft -- and it was bumped to 100 mgs about two weeks ago...that could be bumping in to hypo right now...the gabapentin is supposed to counter that...not sure it does....

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