Student support can be helpful, not overdoing it is something we have worked on and it is something my mentor and I work on. I get so filled with guilt whenever I am not working that it is difficult to stick to a reasonable amount.
There quite possibly is other meds I could try, although I think I went through most of the options when I was first diagnosed and all they did was cause more instability. I'm not sure whether the medication I am on is harmful or not, it is more the unwakeable sleep it puts me in which is my concern. I had such a hard time finding this medication which would work I think I would be more willing to try nothing than something else.
That sounds tricky, do you have any friends or family members you can talk to about it?
I think if that was me a few warning bells would be going off about now Jodie. Is there anyway to postpone the laser eye surgery until things are a little more settle that is a lot of money to spend if it based on hypomanic logic! If it is really a good idea waiting a month or so it will still be a good idea and you could do it then.
Is there anyone around you that is good at spotting when your mood is high?
