I live!! For the first time in quite a while, I actually feel like a lot of the mania has calmed down. I still have thoughts running through my head but I seem to be able to sort them out, focus more on tasks, and generally feel human again. I was functional but it was a bit of a struggle each day. Now, it's more of a "go with the flow." And to top it all off, my wife has been out of town since early Monday morning. I haven't been frustrated, irritable, grumpy, or any of those things. It's like I've awoken to another part of life and I'm enjoying it. This is a level of stability I've not had in a very long time. Cool
