Traditionally, I get hospitalized for a manic episode in the fall. Well we are not far from that now. We shall see how it goes. Anybody else have Fall as their main triggered time?

[liveforsummer]

Hugs Moose I hope you fair better this year. I've a lot of feelings of dread associated with Sept/fall. Not to mention I start dreading winter and feeling cold.

I always get horribly suixidal and depressed sometime between November-March. Sometimes more than One episode. My psyd and I are working on preventing that this time.

I hope you stay stable this Fall, Moose.

I so enjoy the vibrant colors and the cooler weather, I find the Fall just awesome. I can, however, experience instability in mood anytime, including the Fall.

I hope all else is well with you and your family.

February is the hardest month for me. I love fall, spring best. My moods aren't connected or triggered by Mother Nature, just human stresses.

[SheilaKathy]

I'm the opposite. This is my birthday month and I love fall foliage, so I probably am either in a manic at this time of year or in the middle stages between manic and depressive.

I sure feel for you though! No one wants to be in the hospital.

Moose, I hope you come smoothly through the fall episode free. Best wishes.

happy September all.

welcome to autum!

Warm days and cool nights often make me hypo. I used to get deeply depressed in the Spring, but meds have taken care of that, thank goodness.

I find it's the changing light- the sun lower on the horizon- that gets my brain going around and around the manic merry-go-round.

Yes, I'm also very affected by the changing light. But we won't have fall-like weather until late October. It's still very much a broiling hot, smoky summer here.

Ours will roll in within a month.

I like fall simply because it is a beautiful time of year but as soon as winter
comes, the depression sets in. The short days and long nights are just awful
and they seem to go on forever. No hypo mania but the depression is brutal.
I hope it works out well for you Moose.

[Wander]

For me this means Spring is here! My depression is beginning to lift and I can only hope I don't get hypo or worse. I love Spring and love Summer even more so I am a very happy camper.

The last 4 years I have had to go IP in September or October.

Im kicking and clawing my way to stay up right but life is really sucking at the moment.

The start of September is the start of my mood falling. By mid September I usually am feeling pretty depressed. Matter of fact I don't think two meds will be enough to keep me stable during the winter months. I see my Pdoc on the 15th so I will see if she can add a med or increase my lamictal. I really don't want to increase the lamictal because it affects my appetite. It really lowers it. I wish I lived where it stayed warm all year long. Hopefully someday I will be able to. But until then I will have to try and survive the winter months.
