After several months of being in a low-grade depression, Spring has sprung and I not only have been lifted out of depression, I've been LAUNCHED out of depression. I'm a little irritable but that's not unusual for me when I'm hypo; otherwise, life is good and I can't help enjoying the break!

Still, I know I need to get back on my sleep schedule and take my PRN. I'll try to do better about that. The last thing I need is full-blown mania, especially since I'm between pdocs.

Hi. Ok you know the drill. Be happy you're not depressed.
However to not fly too high, sleep. Eat. Don't buy anything. ( like 200 Barbie dolls)

Be careful of starting new projects. Careful about emling old boyfriends.
Love you.

The funny thing is, I'm getting plenty of sleep, I just can't go to sleep till around 2-3 in the morning. Then I sleep till 9 or 10, which is the pattern I prefer but it's not really compatible with the rest of the world. Then again, I don't really have to care since I don't have a job. Haha!

Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Enjoy! The rest of the world be damned!

It's GREAT!!! My poor therapist had to listen to an hour's worth of my tumbling thoughts and political diatribes, but I'm sure she hears worse during the course of her day. I see my new psych NP this week too...it'll be interesting to see how that goes, assuming I'm still hypomanic then. The weird thing is, this thing came out of nowhere---there was no trigger for it exception for a brief interlude of good weather. Maybe I was just overdue, maybe it's just the time of year (springtime---or near-springtime anyway---is silly season for me). But whrever it came from, I'm sure enjoying this happy time
