With the sunshine and emergence of spring, I am starting to feel an increase in hypomanic symptoms. Tdoc says here in Alaska, when we have the sun blindingly reflecting off the snow, it can really throw people into mania. I guess there's this thing called the "mania window" up here.

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting.

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.

When I started lithium years ago it took the mania away. Good luck!
The signs have been creeping in for the last 5 days or so, but I didn't really twig to it until today.

Good luck to you!!!
May you land softly and safely!!!!
as others say, when it starts I hit the anti-psychotics.
