Yes, I get HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. I try to enjoy it as much as I can. I consider it a freebie.

Yep, normal here too. When I go off my meds it's a crap shoot as to whether I'll be giddy-happy or sad as a result.

as soon as i get really happy, i know it's bound to crash and burn. i hope the lithium changes that.

I've been manic for a week, now I'm dreading the crash.

Thats good that they're giving you samples tomorrow. It'll take awhile for them to kick in but when they do things will get better. Just try and enjoy the happy part as much as possible then when you "crash" if you "crash" then make a mental note that you're in a depressive mood. That will help a little with being able to recognize how you act when you're depressed and maybe change the way you're acting if its not helping. I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck!!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
