Still Hypomanic
I'm tired, which I normally am at this time of night, but at the same time I'm not going to sleep soon. Last night I managed to fall asleep around midnight and I was up before 8 (I think... all I know is I got less than 8 hours sleep again). I went to Target and got some stuff for Angela (my cat) so I can take her to the vet tomorrow and see what she needs. I also got some general stuff for myself and Geo, just stuff we needed for around the house. I had a good salad at Target- it had a lot of chicken, walnuts, goat cheese, raisins and a poppy seed dressing.
Food: I also had some pasta and regular dinner. I'm going to eat half a lamb gyro soon just because I'm so hungry.
While it's on my mind, I have been hallucinating lately again. I have been feeling things crawling over me for a couple days (tues/wed), seeing stuff all the time- bugs, black spots and white trails. I'm seeing stuff right now, which is why I finally remembered to write it here. The other morning I was in the bathroom and I saw a roach, and then I hallucinated one flying at my face. I cringed and then realized it wasn't real. Not fun.
Mood: I'd have to say 5/10. I still have energy from the hypomania, but I don't have the good feelings right now. I cleaned the closet and vacuumed, did laundry and all that good stuff. When my friend Jon gets here, the house is going to be spotless just because I've been so hypo. I hope I can get out of bed when he comes... I might crash and not be able to move. I really hope it doesn't happen. I don't know what to do if I'm not down emotionally in a couple days. I could either try and ride the hypo till next Monday, when Jon leaves, or try and crash myself so I can get back to normal by the time he gets here next week. I may ask my sister what she thinks I should do- she's a year away from her Ph.D (or Psy.D) so she knows stuff like this. LOL I may be tired, but I'm still fully capable of rambling I guess as you can see in this entry.

Sorry about the hallucinatinating, that can\'t be fun at all. Isn\'t there any meds you can take for that? you should talk to your Pdoc about them comming back from time to time and see if he/she can suggest something for them.
I\'m on the Risperdal for the hallucinations and stuff, but it might take one more week to get the full effect. I\'ve been trying to take it at the same time every night, and that does help with me falling asleep at least.
Hi :) I havnt been updating much till today and just stopped by your profile see how you been. I hope your visit with your friend goes great! Wow wish my house could be spotless but with 3 teenagers and a 2 yr old grandson ive given up hope of that LOL i would need 3 of me to have it spotless all the time. Have a great weekend :) HugggzZz
I\'m getting tired and coming off the hypomania I think... so the house won\'t get much cleaner, but I\'m glad I got the major stuff done.
