Good Moods Scare Me

I'm in a pretty good mood and I'm worried about that rather than just enjoying it. I'm wondering if I'm becoming hypo and how bad it'll be, if I'll get any rest tonight, if I'll have a breakdown because it'll get to be too much. i hate being in a low mood but the good ones scare me a little. Oh boy.

I wish I understood that better....I feel about this the way kitten felt earlier, about bipolar in general. I am Frikkin' Happy 80% of the time, and good moods don't Scare me so much as run and Jump on me in the middle of what is otherwise a solemn life? idk

I hope you Can enjoy it, emjae, just because having the good mood is like eating broccoli simply because it's Healthy; builds up our systems for when we are down later.

Hugggggggs :)

I'm like you. Don't trust good moods and worry about mania more than hypomania. But enjoy it while you can. What's wrong with a couple of rainbows and giggles. You'll know when to put the brakes on.

What I'm most worried about is that I have an exam today hat's causing me a bit of worry and I don't want another dissociation episode to happen because of the stress and then I'm a bit on the high side so... It's a little crazy in Iam Land. Trying to relax by cooking and listening to the tv while looking over some notes I made.

Good luck with your exam today, I hope it goes well. I understand the good mood thing but for a different reason though, my carer is a pessimist by nature and lifelong experience and it is actually insensitive of me to be too "up" around her when she is frustrated to boiling point, if that makes sense.

I think it would be fun to enjoy myself in a less restrained manner more often so think you should while you feel that way iam :-)

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
