It's greats great to be feeling better. But I feel like it's just so fake. Like a freaking switch. I usually don't really recognize if in hypo or whatever. I'm not 100% sure now. I just suspect since before this I felt so terrible. We are buying a house and ever since we found the house we want and put in a offer I have become so obsessed with plants. I like plants and I want to get a few house plants but all I can think about is how to get and grow a lot of succulents and all the different ways I can decorate with them. And then I've even had the thought to start selling little succulent gardens. I've been up late watching videos on YouTube and reading so much about them which isn't so bad being educated about them but I just know it's all fake. I'll just end up eventually not being that excited about it anymore. It always goes like this. I find something that I like that could be a hobby but then hypomania comes in and takes over and then before you know it I have all this stuff that I don't even use. Also if this is hypomania I'll just go back to depression when it's over. So that sucks and who knows how long this will last. It's just so stupid. Why can't I just be normal.

The cycling can be very frustrating for sure.
Hopefully, you'll stabilize.
Be kind to yourself.

Congratulations on the house , I too picked up great hobbies while hypo and now I have a few boxes of stuff that I have no desire to even open up a box lol

The not knowing how long it will last is the bit that’s currently crippling me. Congratulations on your house. I hope you feel more stable soon. Sending hugs 🤗

Yea I have a lot of stuff that is just taking up space. I bought a pair of roller blades during an episode that cost over $150 and only put them on once. Now I just keep them because they were so expensive. It does get pretty rediculous but during the episodes I just have to have whatever it is that I'm fixated on or obsessed with.

When you get the house get a couple of plants but don't overdo it

Yea there already hooks installed so I want to get a few of the hanging ivys and I also like the small house trees like the rubber plant. I bought a set of succulent cuttings also. The house has a sun room so it's perfect. My kids are also excited about the succulent plants. So they will get to help plant in the pots and name them.
