For the past few days I feel my mood elevating. I thought it was just normal happiness, but now I'm not so sure. I feel very confident and excited, but it's mainly over reasonable things (winning grants, planning travel, etc.).

But I'm also having some of my classically manic trains of thought. For example... "OMG I get to each zucchini for dinner! Isn't that grand? I'm so blessed that I get to actually eat it and enjoy it and then tomorrow I'll eat more things! And the color is so wonderful and I'm breading them which is amazing and I'm smiling ear to ear!"

I like to catch my upswings before they turn into a problem. When do you hit the panic button and reach out to your pdoc?

I don't think that your thoughts are manic, I think that you are understanding how lucky you are to have good food to eat. I just think that maybe you see possibility in the future. You see how truly blessed you are, and are feeling happiness and gratitude.

Enjoy these feelings. You deserve them.

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

Don't panic. It won't help. However, I think that you should call your pdoc.

I am learning that responding when I first notice things is better than waiting a few more days to see what happened. Last month I noticed I was just a little bit up and lowered my (agitating) AD, which was planned for the next week anyway to prevent it from accelerating my usual spring mania. It stopped it cold. I've never had that happen before but have never reacted so quickly. So now I'm going to try to respond before things blow up in my face.
