Struggling so far. Did not sleep from 1:30-5:30. Am so sleep "hung over". Missed church which is sad.
Kids want to take me to breakfast...just can't go right now. Feel like crying.

Hi y'all. I'm new here, but not new to bipolar. Recently started Lithium after a (supervised) vacation from medication. It seems to be working on a depressive fog that had set in,and that is after only a few days of taking it, which surprises me.

Entire day was depression-free. Enjoyed the nice weather. Went to a museum to cool off.

It was lovely.

Edit:
I really wish we could bottle our moods. And maybe share them or use them, if we really need them most. Just using them more economically.

No way! You are very much cared for here.
I don't know why you feel this way, but it is surely a misperception. I rarely venture beyond the BP threads, but this so perplexed me that I felt compelled to dig a bit. I hope that was ok. I just truly could not imagine such a thing!

I had not realized that you have been going through such a rough time. Perhaps you are feeling especially sensitive under such stress(?) I don't want to presume too much... Just know you are loved here. If you feel the need to take a break, it would not be my place to say otherwise. BUT! We are here. You are part of this community, and we are ready and waiting to help, and be there for you to post or not post as you personally find helpful, ok?
Much love.

(Sorry on the quote format. I messed something up and couldn't make it appear.)
Thanks for this!

Crashing out of hypomania... Suddenly down, hard. I was stable for a long time, like over a year. Now this. Sitting at the beach, listening to music. It's beautiful here, but my mind is swirling into that ****ing tortured and familiar place.

Drove up to my sisters' place where my mom also was to celebrate mothers day. Played outside with my nephew and came back home. Time to cook dinner and give myself a manicure. Not together, of course!

I just got my water bill and it was a little over $16. That's what happens when you stop showering when depressed.

Laid around the first half of the day. Decided to start decreasing my Seroquel because it's making me so sedated i'm only fully awake at 4:00pm. Will try and cut down to 150mg this week and see how it goes. I'm making this decision on my own but i feel experienced enough to do it as i've been at this 25 years and it's a small adjustment. I'll let my doctor know for his records.

It has only been a couple of days, but this decrease in Lamictal is working! Now I really want off. I don't need to be on so much stuff. My memory sux as it is and I don't want to be screwing up my writing at work.

A couple days out of hypomania now. I'm crashing a bit, but it's not too bad mood wise. The worst part is i'm totally drained of all energy, and my body feels so heavy i can barely move. Like extreme sluggishness. It's hard to believe the amount of energy and enthusiasm i had just a few days ago. This really is such a peculiar condition, to live in extremes. All things considered, i didn't do much damage this time. Hypo is just so intoxicating. The guy i was hanging with who was hypo too is also returning to stable, so looks like we are in sync anyways. Will have to see how the next while goes

I've been on a new med adjustment now for a week. I started brushing my teeth every day again, and now am trying to talk myself into taking a shower and shaving my legs. I don't feel depressed, but I'm still not doing much....mostly want to do things.

On the other hand, my daughter gave me a pair of really nice sneakers for Mother's Day so I could do the walking I've been wanting to do. Yay kid!

Today is pretty good! I'm hoping this points to me making my way out of a depression which my wife says has been going on for over a month.

Not well. Drifting back into a low. And by drift, I mean plummet.

It was karaoke today at my support group and i was able to enjoy myself well enough. It was good stimulation so hopefully the long, empty evening will be easier to tolerate.

Had a mini training session at work today. OMG I know what I'm doing now! Everything makes so much sense now, and I don't feel like an idiot. Now I can get more work done.
