I am on the verge of a full blown manic episode here and would appreciate a few beads being rattled here and there.
I've had a period of several months of relative stability and it's ending with a bang. Weeping, raging, euphoria, borderline psychotic stuff (everything sounds really, really loud, even the wind in my ears when I'm out walking and the darn birds singing), physical agitation (didn't know I could ride an exercise bike that fast) - you name it, I've had it in the past 4 days. Slept about 1 hour last night despite medications and only 4 hours the night before that.
Talked to psychiatrist today and I'm loading on the Xanex in hopes that I'll sleep tonight and that will help my brain calm down.
I was really worried earlier today that I might have to go into the hospital. If my son was having these sx that's where he'd be if I could get him admitted.
But I have always managed to stay out of the hospital and really don't want to start now. Truly bad timing.
But I am a little better tonight after taking some Xanex a little while ago and am now heading off to bed.
Sweet dreams to all of us,
Thanks
