I'm just flat. I guess that's a good thing. I'm pretty stable. But I miss my hypo days. Loads of posts on my end ect lol. And I know why I'm not getting hypo anymore... Because my pdoc took me off my stimulant. I admit I abused it because I loved that happy energetic rush. Last time I was in her office she could tell I was hypo and took me off it. It's a good thing because I'm not crashing all the time. But damn, I miss the good parts! It's to the point where I'm tempted to go find adderall. Just for the night? Please? But no, I won't do that because I know what follows after the rush. Wish I was hypo! Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of myself by staying away from the stimulants but cravings are a part of the addiction. When I was using and abusing I became a monster. Days with no sleep followed by days of exhaustion and depression which kept me chained to my bed and I never want to be in that cycle again.

Just needed to get that off my chest. Maybe it belongs in the addictions section so mods, move if you need.

I feel the same. I miss my hypos too. This is the first Spring in years that i haven't had one. I miss all the fun but it's hell on my bank account so i guess it's for the best. I just feel flat and numb.

Coming down from some hypo here...wah...I feel you. I def. prefer a feeling of overinflated confidence over how I feel now....completely incompetent and lost as to what I am doing with my life.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with the flat affect that bipolar meds can leave you in - but abusing a stimulant is not the way to go with this, and you know it. You can always discuss the flat feelings with your pdoc and ask for other kinds of med tweaking in order to feel better and more energetic. There are solutions to this that don't involve stimulants.
Thanks for this!

Thanks muse! I know stims are a no no for me now. That high isn't worth the crippling depression that follows. I'm finally feeling that depression lift and after very bad stim abuse, that can take awhile.

Your strength and determination give me hope.

I can't stand stability and I can't stand mood cycling. It's a personality thing, I'm sure. And it belongs here. You can't analyse your personality and more innate differences and reactions separately.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
