Hypomania.
I'm going hypomanic. This has happened before when I was about to relapse.
I'm seeing my psych today but she's very medication cautious. I don't know how to get it through to her that I need another regular medication, not just olanzapine. I can't take prn clonazepam every day. I had a meltdown this morning and made part of my hand go black. Because I constantly have HUGE amounts of energy. No matter how much I clean, exercise or move about, I still have loads of energy. I've been sleeping 4-5 hours a night and rarely been tired. Ive lost weight. I am constantly jittery. My OCD has become beyond severe. Advice? |
Print this out, or take a picture of your post on your phone, and show it to her. You've explained it really well!

When I am hypomanic I find that the more I do the more energy I have so rather than trying to burn the energy I have I try to sit somewhere quiet and slow myself down.

When I am hypomanic my OCD just spirals. If it is affecting your sleep and you're ability to be comfortable and calm, medication should be questions. Right now, I am unmedicated and it is so damn difficult. I like what someone said above me, print this out and show them.
Also, try to keep track of your sleep every night. I've realized when I am hypomanic that I don't actually realize how little I am sleeping and that can lead to a deep crash. |
Thanks all.
My psych gave me extra clonazepam. And I did what you suggested. I am doing a bit better now except for moments where I get very hyper. I'm using meditation and clonazepam to help. I've got a chest infection now though. |
I'm glad to hear they gave you extra meds to help. Have you got antibiotics for the infection?
|
Thanks. No antibiotics as the chest infection isn't awful. I am feeling surprisingly mild.
