I have been doing really well lately. I guess you never put your guard down. Always keeping in check with yourself?Since Tuesday I have been very energetic. I noticed that I am having interupted sleep, tossing and turning, waking up quite a bit..BUT, not running around the house at 3am scrubbing the walls or whatever. I am being productive. Getting things done around the house. I have a clear mind. My thoughts are not scattered. I don't have a million things in my head at once. I have $ on my credit card & have the feeling of wanting to SPEND but I can't break myself away from cleaning the house

I have started Weight Watchers, I am eating healthier, so I wonder if my metabolism is raised. And that is where the extra energy is coming from. I have been drinking more water. The weather is so nice & warm & sunshiney. I guess I just get nervous, I don't know what to blame the mood on. I suppose I should just enjoy it & quit being so paranoid. When I get into the depression, it normally lasts for awhile so I guess I have reason to be paranoid?

In the past week I have : Went grocery shopping, took Cat to vet, Kid to ball practices, cooked lunch for husband & brother in law, took lunch to work for them, Cleaned out the hall closet, cleaned the bathroom, vaccumed the cobwebs, vaccumed window sills, washed windows, washed windows of china hutch & curio cabinet, vaccumed floors, cleaned computer room top to bottom, vaccumed furniture, cleaned kitchen top to bottom, dusted. Next is the laundry room & my bedroom & the whole house will be complete & I need to paint the living room and hall way, then its on to the outside.

I just worry to much I guess. I worry if its Mania, there is a crash coming my way. I have been doing so well, I hate to go backwards.

amber dear, I would not worry too much, you have been so use to being in the dumps, that anything that remotely resembles happiness is going to throw you for a loop, enjoy and don't sweat it unless you start seeing the tail tell signs of what use to mean you were going in to a mania..ok? the extra energy can come from the meds, I know I had it, as for once in my life I actually felt like getting up and doing something..

Hey Amber, the trouble with us veteren BPs is that we tend to analyse every change of mood - even the God-given good ones! Sounds to me you are just cruzing along and that's great. Enjoy!
