So I asked my husband for a divorce. He confessed that he wasn't as well as he seems and admitted he doesn't feel comfortable here to "make scene" , that we have a less pressure here. Because his mom does all the cooking and cleaning and he can just work without having to interact. So that's why he's nicer. There's all this stuff he has to do at home.. So I guess it's a lot like a hospital setting. So we're here until tomorrow. Then we'll see if I still want a divorce. I have to wait officially 6months from the time I announce it to him until the time I file to account for mood swings.

I set up 2 classes for homeschooling groups one on inventing and one on community. I planed all 24 hour long lessons today and I want to shop for the stuff but my husband doesn't want me to have the cards as we have no money because I spent it all on my son's Christmas present. I can't ask to borrow any more money from my parents. So I'm stuck making carts online that I want. My leg still shakes but I'm sleeping so is this hypomanic? Or normal? Or just plain crazy. I have the tactile hallucination of bugs on my skin so I have to take my prn.

You need to stabilize before making a decision about divorce.

What do u mean u don't know when to take a prn? Haven't u had a prn for Seroquel or something? If you aren't sure-call your dr and ask.

You're not stable and suddenly wanting a divorce is impulsive. You need to be stable before you even think of such a huge decision.

I think hallibeth is saying klonopin prn is the same as any prn.....take as needed
Usually klonopin take it in panic/anxiety/agitation
Call him and ask

It shouldn't cause mania.

Seems like more than just mania. Have you thought about having your doctor write down what you take and why you take it, so after you leave the office you have something to refer you? I know when I'm in an episode my memory is **** too, and I've had them do that. My current pdoc said memory is very affected during an episode of any kind.

And tbh, nothing in your post really seems "manic" to me, aside from maybe making the purchase for your child's gift and sacrificing the price it costs to buy school books (i.e. it sounds like an impulsive purchase) but I'm sure your heart was/is in the right place. But I think asking for a divorce and agreeing to wait 6 months to see if things improve sounds reasonable and responsible.

EDIT: Changed "abnormal" to "manic." Also your leg shakes / jitteriness could be due to stress factors.

I completely misread the question! I'm sorry! I'd say it sounds a bit hypomanic.
