I'm in denial about bipolar again. I'm fine. I haven't had an episode in a while maybe the last was just circumstantial.
But then I don't really know what's going on right now. I can't focus but I'm not elated or happy really. Maybe that's because of the cancer stuff. I'm trembling all the time. My thoughts are completely focused on my cancer. I'm obsessed. The Pdoc is wrong. She has to be. I can't have so many things happen to me.

You know. I think we all do this. My last episode of mania, it was very hot - maybe it was heat stroke. I was on a job interview out of state - maybe it was the stress of being unemployed.
I have to check myself and realize that it was indeed mania and the meds restored me to sanity at the Mental ER. A few days ago I read the article on PC about stopping AAPs and how the brain makes more dopamine receptors when you are on them, which makes an abrupt or drastic change very risky for a manic/psychotic break. I really feel for you, acceptance is tough. I have to remind myself everyday that if I am not on top of my treatment, a relapse just might be the end for me. Please keep sharing. We've got your back, moogs

Thanks moogs. I was hoping that the Pdoc would let me off of the seroquel if everything stayed level after she permitted me to lower the dose to the 100mg, but it doesn't seem that'll happen now.
I do have to say that depression has been away. I get normal sad, but that's not a big deal because off the cancer diagnosis.

I know how it is...
