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!

Hey everyone!

Thought since I was back, I could bring back this thread too. I thought it was a cool way to keep track of your moods.

I am on the Low side today; I've been Low for quite some time and can't seem to get out of it.

Welcome back, LadyShadow! I think this was a nice thread to bump back. Right now I'm in the middle, thank goodness, though I have dealt with some anxiety lately. These past couple years I've mostly been either in the middle or somewhere on the lower end of the spectrum, mood-wise. There was a short bit this last summer when I was mixed, but that passed rather quickly.

It has felt a bit strange as most of my life I was on the high side, or very high. I've been thinking about that a little, lately. Part of me definitely misses those highs, but the wiser part knows not having them is for the best. My old highs were the most destructive episodes for me. So long without them has made me accept a new norm. Like with many things, as more and more time passes, those days seem like dreams.

Hey! Resurrection time!

Gonna bring back this thread because I like it so much.

I am feeling in the middle today - just unsure of the future but feeling pretty even all together and a bit emotional but it's not overpowering.

Thanks, LadyShadow!

I've been low for a while now. Some of it has included grief. But it's also beyond grief.

A bit on the hypomanic side at times. I think all the sun is finally catching up to me. Hoping I don't need a med adjustment - I'll need to monitor myself

A little high, but not the elated type. My mind has been racing, at times. I've started struggling to fall asleep at a good time. I've actually had sparks of energy that have got me out of the house more. That is quite an improvement. If my stressors were eased, I could see myself being mildly hypomanic on the elated side.

I don't know. I just feel off I guess. Lack of motivation, brain feeling like mush, etc. I don't feel flat anymore. I had a glum day yesterday, but it was because I'm swollen and in pain still from my surgery. I feel a new jovial wave coming up. I've been taking all of my meds as prescribed for a change, with the exception of abusing my seroquel.

So I guess I just don't know!
