** Cross posted in the Fibro/ Chronic pain forum**

Well it has begun ....4 years in a row.. Almost spring..... Typical hypo roaring into a mania .... I am getting everything done and I'm perky enjoying the burst of energy and plain loving it...

The most wonderful thing is when I swing like this I still have all the pain but I can just ignore it , My body is just running on high octane Bipolar juice

I'm going to stretch this out as long as I can ... Sleep ? nope no need for now.. Things to do, places to be, people to see.

Yes I will probably crash and burn and have to put myself back together, been there done that and bought the ugly Tshirt.....

But I can do this I'm strong not weak. It's a cycle, It always cycles and spits you out the other side, usually with another lesson learned.

I hope everyone catches a break and finds a bit of peace if only for a little while, every little bit counts

I find your recognition of your cycles to be refreshing, if that makes sense.

Enjoy the ride...don't crash too hard, my friend Last year you were hurting pretty good.

Fly safely, my friend....land softly....enjoy the ride. I am here too if you need me or want to share the fun. I also have fibro and am trying to imagine a hypo that allows you to ignore the pain. That must indeed feel awesome. Take care of yourself though. Try to sleep some!

I've what I call pre-hypomanic for a couple of weeks now thanks to our springlike weather and the increasing light. I love it! It's like hypomania except I can maintain my sanity while feeling wonderful. Only problem with it is I'm hypersexual and I gave up self-pleasure for Lent. AUGGHHH!!

I wish I could experience the happy hypo. I usually just get *****y and irritable. Hopefully when Spring finally gets here in the Northeast, I'll perk up a little.
