Why do I always buy olives when I'm manic? It's like a little quirk I have. Have a manic episode buy olives. Today I bought garlic stuffed ones. They're nice.Doctors went ok, he sent me off to the psychiatrist, who put my lithium back up to my old dose. Since they dropped my dose my moods are terrible I've been manic so many times in the past year because of the amount they've changed my meds. Now I'm staying on the higher dosage  until I feel ready, no when they decide.I'm still really manic, still hyper, still really want to shop.
