I seem to be calming down from hypomania and there is NO sign of depression! I don't even feel slightly sad! Normally from sleeping as little as I had been, I'd have crashed SO hard. I've been in this nice, normal mood without being too high or too low and it honestly feels amazing. I hope that it lasts because I feel so clear minded and able to sort out what I'm thinking without my mood affecting my thoughts. I'm so happy to think that my meds are working at last!

I'm glad it is not turning into depression! I just got out of my depression and it's not turning to hypomania so I know the feeling! It's nice to be "normal"!

I pray you continue to have stability. It is a beautiful thing. This past month or so, I have been in awe of how good & "normal" I feel.
I had no idea life could be like this.
It reinforces that I definitely had some kind of imbalance.
Lithium has been a Godsend.
Enjoy it Kitten!
You deserve peace & happiness. We ALL do!
