I had to have my anti-anxiety pill switched today, I went from buspirone to clonazepam. I took my first pill of that and it worked fairly well with a very interesting set of side effects (sleepy, dizzy, loss of coordination) which the thing says are normal side effects. Later after it wore off I went to karaoke with some friends and I was having fun there. 4 people went up and sang Black Eyed Peas - I Gatta Feeling. I was having fun before, but with this song (which I love) I started having a LOT of fun, then after that I continued having a lot of fun!! I was feeling really good and happy and was dancing around and singing along and just having a blast!

I was wondering in the middle.. my thought process went something like this...."is this a hypomanic episode? I hope not, I don't want a crash later... or maybe I wont crash! Anyway it doesn't matter I am having fun now, thats all I care about..."

Then later, the LAST SONG OF THE NIGHT, the person singing chose the song The Kinks - Lola. Partway through the second verse I realized what the song was about and I instantly crashed. I was practically in shock, I went from dancing and singing along to sitting there dumbfounded staring at the lyrics all the way until the song ended.
I continued the rest of the night and on the ride back feeling very depressed. :(

The whole thing didn't last very long... I mean, the hypomanic part could only have lasted like an hour or two at most... and I think I'm still in the depressed part right now, around an hour or so after that happened.

What was this? I keep wondering if it was this small and short maybe it was just in my head, something I made up? Or do episodes happen this small? I have no idea... I asked my boyfriend if he has seen me do stuff like this before, where I am really happy for a little bit and then I crash soon after, and he said that hes seen me do that several times at least.
