I'm feeling ... EXCELLENT.
 I've done a complete turnaround from the past few days when I was barely functioning. I can see the difference in every aspect of myself. I walk differently, I talk differently, I have more energy, better concentration, I notice more about my surroundings or other people, I can make eye contact with others, I bob my head when I'm listening to music ... When I'm depressed, I am for the most part a walking corpse. This morning when I woke up I actually felt AWAKE for the first time in days. Today, I had planned on taking it slow and just doing whatever I felt I could get done without wearing myself out. Instead of the one hour I'd promised myself I'd spend at the library, I spent four without even breaking a sweat, and on top of that I spent another hour and a half writing at my favourite coffee place. THIS is me. This is the person I am. I'm not this person as often as I'd like but it's really nice to recognize myself again. Thank you so much to everyone who was there for me while I was so low. I'm not sure how I'd get through any of this without you!  I have no idea where these mood swings are coming from but I'm going to make an appointment to see my doctor this week to see if maybe my meds need adjusting. I don't know how long the good mood is going to last -- sometimes it's days, sometimes it's weeks -- but it sure is a relief that it's finally come back.

Great to hear that
 Make a careful chart of your mood swings! Frequency and duration, that will help you doc to pick the right meds. |

 Great, great news, (((((justfloating)))))! It's like emerging from Hades back into the light and fresh air, isn't it? You're right - while you have the energy, now is the time to see your doctor and discuss your meds - maybe a minor adjustment in them will help level out the hills and valleys a bit more. Just glad you're feeling better!
