Being stable is boring but at least we are stable, that in itself, is good news...Good luck to you!

I know I was just telling that to my pdoc that when im taking my meds and im not in a mood i start to miss being in a mood lol..

I know its wrong but when Im in the early stages of mania like, being able to do a million things in the day and thinking that i look sexy and generally in the best mood i can imagine, I LOVE IT!

confessions of a bipolar :P

Well, what did you do to entertain yourself b/f you were diagnosed? Try doing those things and see if that helps.

I love being hypo manic. And manic just before it reaches the point of agitation and dysphoria. There's a window of time that feels like a mix of MDMA, morphine, and speed, when I feel like a f-ing god. Plus since I feel so good I am more magnetic to others and everything goes well for me--getting laid a lot, making friends, etc--which adds to the whole feeling great thing.

Now if I can just get stabilized and use cognitive and behavioral methods to get into that high and extroverted, confident state without relying on mania, I would have it made. Here's to hoping!

I'm in the same place and don't want it to leave. No reason, just very, very happy....lots of love everywhere. Sure, probably hypomanic.
Princess, it's soooooo good to hear you doing better. You will never be normal....none of us will be. BUT, we can be exceptional and usually are.

i was in that place too, loved it. now i am irritable, short tempered, on the go and ready to run over anyone in my way. i will take this any day over being in the dark place.

Princess, I am so happy that you found a med that works for you.....it is not easy to do sometimes. It is good to hear you so calm after being so upset the other day..........I agree that "normal" or "stable" can be boring, but I much prefer it over anything else. My hypo manias are horrid because they are usually dysphoric and my depressions are major. I will settle for "stable" any day. Hugs
