Wow. I'm in flight for the last 3 days. Stopped taking my lithium cause I was depressed now I'm jamming. which is good cause I have two programming jobs I have to get done. One for a health care business and the other for a battery business. Seems I get my business all at once! Is anyone else up? I've been programming for three days straight ane am a little fried. Hope everyone is well.

Hi Michael, hope you get you're work done soon but l agree with Tommy please be careful you're going to come down soon and l'm guessing quite hard I would tell you're Dr now before you feel too wretched to move, you don't have to take the meds straight away but have something in place. Logically you know this is going to happen so be prepared.

I know. People keep telling me to slow down. I guess I am running quickly, I started my lithium back up cause I have to put a stop to this manic episode or I will end up in the hospital again. Thanks for your support and advice.

Good awareness Mike!!

I was a little concerned. I've noticed every time you start "jamming programs" you leave DS for awhile.

Glad to hear you are back on your meds and back on DS.

Thanks everyone, I tend to get absorbed into whatever I'm fixated on at the time and think I got it all together. Then reality hits and I realize I really need this place and the support. I tend to drift and think I don't have bipolar then I get slapped in the face by it, seems it is in escapable. I'm so glad for DS, I was all alone before I found it, thought I was nuts and on way to many meds.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
