Yes but we finally increased my magnesium to 1000 mg and added B12 and they have become more rare and much less painful.

I haven't confirmed from a doctor that I've experienced a mixed episode but I've experienced at least something similar. I would feel like everything was nails on a chalkboard. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. I needed something I couldn't describe. I would pace because I had to DO something but I didn't think anything would help. I would rock myself to try and help or drag my nails gently on my legs back and forth. I felt like a mess of confusion. I wasn't happy, I wasn't sad I wasn't anything I can describe. It was like torture. I was tired but I had energy to expend. Super bizarre really.

Q1: I can't think of any questions left on the day of diagnosis.
Q2: It' time to worry about hypomania when it is substantially disrupting your life/safety/family/relationships.

no not at all.
question: when you are with a friend who doesn't know you, when, if at all, is it appropriate to mention your diagnoses? |

I don’t mention it at all unless we become really good friends.
Do you mention your diagnosis at work? |

Just one co worker knows. (Unless she’s told others but nothings been said to me). Sometimes I wish I could just be open about it, maybe others would learn something and who knows maybe others at work also have MI.
Q. How often do you sleep well without a sleep aid? |

Right now messy due to a combination of I'm sick and I have 2 kittens who like to re-arrange everything they can. It's usually better than this.

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
