****k. I just wrote this whole thing out and accidentally deleted it but basically
-haven't been sleeping well (~2 hours every other night, othern ights are normal, but hte pst two nights have been 2 hours and I hve plenty of energy but I don't feel fine I feel wired) -reached out to someone I haven't talked to in a while and had unprotected sex with him (which I wouldn't do) -Been pacing which could be a mania thing or an akathisia thing for me. It's gotten worse the past two days so I'm thinking more hypomania. -I'm "thinking in poetry" but actually getting it down on paper is soooo hard. but perhaps I'm just excited for having this person back in my life and being able to go skiing whenever the weather lets me. My therapist seemed to think yesterday that it was just excitement but was a little concerned about the sleep.

Yeah, it sounds like hypomania to me, especially the casual unprotected sex. Those are the kinds of things i do when hypomanic, sleep erratically, restless, racing thoughts. Please be cautious.

I'm going to group therapy to figure out how to survive the weekend then I have an appointment with my NP on Monday (not like it'll be useful because she's an incompetent ****). I spent over $100 today in just a few hours and went on a walk in the park which was icy as **** and most people turned back but I persisted!!!!

I think it sounds like hypomania but only you (and your professionals) know for sure.
I hope you're managing ok, try to take care of yourself. And get yourself STI checked after the unprotected sex. |

I'm fine my car is FUBAR the group was good we talked a lot about forgiveness but they said I was clearly revved up and the pdoc recommended clozaril but he pushes that down everyone's throat like it's an easy drug with easy side effects. and yeah it's snowing out.

I'm surprised your have a pdoc pushing clozapine. My pdoc is a specialist in treatment resistant disorders and she only has 2 of us on it and it's been that way for the 6 years I've been on it. She doesn't use it lightly. I think it is getting harder to manage being on it too. It's gotten much more expensive in the last 2 years and I had to choose my insurance plan this year and last based on the only part D plans that would cover it. I've never had the access issues you did when you were on it but I do only have one place in town I can get it and it costs $50/month with insurance. It's like they are encouraging doctors to NOT prescribe it.
Sorry about your car But glad you are ok. That's the important thing.

He's not my pdoc anymore thank God he's just the doc that works for the group PHP which I am no longer a part of I just go for aftercare every now and then. Clozaril is his favorite med because he's whacked. I don't think my NP would ever prescribe clozaril anyways for reasons you've described plus I've already tried it and don't like it.
