Are You High, Low or in the Middle?

Low.....

I might also be high middle.

Had a good workout early this morning and happily right in the middle.

I'm hanging out in the Middle-Low. I am really tired for some reason. Some new years.

Energy - Sluggish to slightly elevated

Mood - Disappointed to normal to agitated, playful, or slightly over the top

Other - Distractable, feeling tough, not giving a damn, some mild brief thought disorder periods, occasional intermittent racing thoughts, impulsive moments, disinbited moments, etc.

Sometimes it isn't easy to use mood charts for me. Time of day (partly related to my meds), triggers, general situations, and other things, make me mercurial. The above is pretty much my "new normal". I don't consider myself to be in any kind of episode right now, but I am not really sufficiently functional to be considered ready for regular mandatory responsibilities and interactions in public. Does this make sense?

My husband is very used to me. Less familiar people could find me slightly odd, at times. Occasionally in public, I attract some level of attention. My psychiatrist still thinks appointments every two weeks are reasonable. I see my therapist every week under normal circumstances (not holidays). I did tell my psychiatrist to schedule every 3 weeks after the holiday. He allowed it. I didn't really want that, but I am fighting transferance.

Low. Trying to act as if I feel differently though.

Low. Been here for a few days. Feels like forever.

Right now I'm a mild and pleasant high. I sure would like to be able to say that all day, but probably won't.

Low, but managing.

middle - low

Middle high

For me, middle.

Middle, but I’m in a good mood. I think this is what they call baseline or remission.

Oh my! I should have known something was brewing. I started off the day having a tough time getting up. Then I had a very minor anxiety attack. Then my mood began to zip up like a toy rocket. It only became apparent to me in the grocery store when I started to have an extremely loud rant about P&P loaf and olive loaf with the deli manager. Then I found myself talking to several people in the store, loudly. Finally, I said to myself (out loud) that I had to curb the volume. Then I went to the pharmacy and started ranting about something with him, saying inappropriate things (although he knows me well enough that it wouldn't surprise him). Then I went to the liquor store to pick up a few things. I gave two clerks a lecture about the origins of a particular beer from Czech Republic, and the controversy with the American beer Budweiser. Then when I got into my car, I put on the radio and it was Billy Joel singing "We Didn't Start the Fire". LOL! I didn't think of it, but that song was so darned suitable to my current situation.

You know, when I was much younger, I thought Billy Joel was boring "middle-aged person music". Then, over time, I found myself liking his music more and more. I realized that I was becoming middle-aged. Now I really love Billy Joel's music. "We Didn't Start the Fire" is such a great song. You should have seen me rocking it in my car!

Into the low all of a sudden - I feel like crying.

Middle yay

Low middle.

In a bit of a low right now.

I'm feeling a bit low right now, too.

I'm still low.
