Well, I posted a thread on here last week about how depressed I was and how I had been that way for a long time. So last Friday morning I was sitting around pretty down and then about 11am the fog lifted! It was strange. Colors seemed brighter and I wanted to go places and do things. Not like in a hypo state, but in a "normal" state.

I do feel odd, however. I am shakier than normal (I normally have tremors, but these are a little worse). I feel strange because I don't want to commit to too much in case I get down again. And I don't know how long this will last. But it is nice not to want to sit on the couch all day. I am actually looking forward to doing things. Easter was a really nice day and I felt able to handle all of it just fine. I didn't have the "dread".

I have no idea why the sudden and rapid change. I went on Buspar about three weeks ago and have almost eliminated my use of Klonopin. Maybe that helped.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

My only thoughts are hallelujah and enjoy it! A few weeks ago I had a day of total clarity where it felt like the mental illness fog had lifted and I could see my life clearly. I realized that I had to quit beating myself up because I'm not playing on a level field and I wrote a letter from the well me to the sick me for future use. I'm happy for you.

Thanks for this!
