Wishing you a great day too :)
Hope your appt goes well for you tomorrow .

Hee hee. I'm having fun. I usually skip my appts if i'm hypo but not this time.

Not to douse your vibe...well actually yeah...I am, iam...please reflect on what you've posted here.

You've never reached these highs before and...well I am sorry to have to state the obvious here but...you're not right in the head if you haven't had a decent sleep in a week. It sounds like you've become as a moth to the flame. Be careful...catch your fall.

Those with experience know why they don't want to come down...they know what's waiting below.

Do yourself a solid and make it to that appointment tomorrow. You may very well need to be at this one more than any other in your life. Let us know what your Pdoc makes of it all.

~peace out...in~

Ok, that last one kinda scared me... And then I called my doc and he's booked all day so I very nearly lost it. I am most definitely going to my appointment tomorrow.

I'm so pleased you recognize genuine concern from myself and others here.

Fear is not always a bad thing. ~smiles~

I'm with fdl sweetie...I'm so glad you're seeing your doc.... We want you to be happy... and we want you to be well...Big hugz

I hope your appt goes well -- all I keep worrying about is what will happen when you come "down" - please do see your pdoc. Feeling up is liberating and euphoric, Feeling down is in the pits. Wish we could pick to be one or the other or neither but that's not the hand we were dealt.

you sound like I did before I was diagnosed bipolar. Have you actually been diagnosed? One full manic attack and you will have a diagnosis. It was the best thing in the world for me because I am now stable as opposed to having major depression.
Please see your doctor and know that you will be ok.

Its always fun - till its NOT............... : )

I am thinking good thoughts for you. There is a lot of wisdom and experience in everyone's words. We care about you! I hope your appointment goes well.

And sleep is so very important. I hope you get some soon...

I was diagnosed as having cyclothymia which means my high and lows aren't as intense as those in BP I or II. Having a manic episode might mean my disorder has progressed... I was diagnosed in October but I haven't really been getting treatment so it's quite likely that it has progressed. I will definitely talk to my doc about this though i think it would be easier to have him see me in the state I was in earlier rather than have me describe it.

I don't think pdocs stress enough that mania can escalate into psychosis. Knowing that and what it means takes all the romance out of the high of mania and makes you treat the first signs (losing sleep) as the emergency it is.

Be honest with your pdoc about your behavior and if you can ask others what they have observed.

Best of luck and you are a very smart cookie for keeping your apt!
