Hi

 

I have just found an interesting trigger !!!!, and I am not sure how to control this one.

 

How I discovered it was due to the fact that I went through a complete cycle in 12 days, Mania followed by a crash. Luckly my medication has been able control the situation such that no major damage was done.

 

Here goes, I'll try and explain the symptoms / trigger ( this is one I'd like but want to control as it makes me fly, just dont want to soar !).

 

I have started to date my ex-wife as a friend, and found that even just looking at her, was enough to give me a buzz. so a touch gave a bigger buzz, and a kiss well BUZZZZZZ.

 

Thus the spiral into mania began. Due to my spiral I was wanting more, which was pressurizing her to the extent that after 11 days she could take no more and things got out of hand with me starting to crash.  On the 12 day she wanted to call it off, and so did I, but  I believe that spirtual forces intervended and we are back to where we started.

 

I am so creative when I have the slight buzz writing, drawing, bubbly etc, that I dont want to lose this state, but any more than this destroys that creative and it becomes damaging.

 

So any Ideas how to control this so that we can move forward into hopefully a full relationship.
