its going to take all that I have to sit here and type this.

I think I'm manic. I've been hypomanic before but this is different. This is so much scarier and better. I feel better than I've ever felt. I'm worried I'll do something reckless. I really really don't want to go IP again. I'm going to try really hard to be good and let this pass.

Is it possible that BP II can become BP I?

Yes, BP 2 can definitely become BP 1. It happened to me. Call your mental health care provider and let him/her know what you've told us; it's best to catch a manic episode early and be medicated for it before you go totally off the rails.

I don't have a pdoc yet, my first appointment is March 4. I have a family doctor and OB-GYN. I was prescribed Latuda inpatient about 3 weeks ago during a depressed episode.

I'm concerned for you as you are pregnant. Sometimes you can't take meds.
The new manic feelings could be because of your hormones.

Hormones produce or are the factor in moods. Chemically it's complicated. Ask your gyn for a referral to a psychiatrist. Ok.

Oh being pregnant really complicates things! What kind of support network do you have? When you say reckless, what do you mean? Call whichever of your doctors that you think will effectively help you out during this episode. Don't risk your health or your baby's health.

I'm just regular hypomanic today so I feel a little better. My husband helped me take my med last night so I got some sleep. My doctors said that they won't give me psych meds, so they'll just tell me to go to the ER if I get bad enough. Less than two weeks until I meet my pdoc I just need to keep it together for a little longer.
