The fog hasn't gone away and I am not sure it will. It doesn't change much whether I am up or down. But my current mix of meds and the dosages seem to have me sitting in a good place. Not hypo and not depressed. Something good happened and I was really happy and pumped about it. But then when I was heads down working on something else, there was no lingering euphoria. This is a good thing; I got serious about the task at hand but wasn't dejected or unhappy. When I related my good news to others, I would get happy and pumped again. That's how it is supposed to work, right? It's been so long since it was like this for me that I barely remember it. Either I was a little too euphoric about it and slipped into "everything is awesome because I am wonderful" or I was dejected before and after a manged a half hearted smile.

I just hope this lasts. Now, about that fog...

That sounds so nice. I hope to get to stable - I'm hoping my new med doesn't make me too foggy. My doc is going to dose me up.

My fog isn't a mood thing. Kind of a surreal view that's hazy around the periphery. I would be sharper without it. It's like watching watching an old tube TV that needs a better antenna versus an HD flat screen with a solid digital feed; if the movie is good, I will enjoy it either way but I would rather watch it in HD.

I'm glad you're stable. Hopefully the fog will go away soon.

About 25 years. It wasn't persistent for the first few years; it would come and go. It's been so long ago that I can't remember if there was a trigger.
