Life colors are returning and Latuda

I can always tell when my mood is going "up" or "lifting".  As I get older and battle these episodes over and over... it's gotten where many times I literally feel the "drop" and I literally feel the "lift".   One of the telltale signs for me is that the colors in life start returning.  That is, not everything is viewed in a... Read moreChevron

Next "Up": Mania and Hypomania's Dark Side

It’s very clear from your comments to the posts in my series on “Up” that euphoria is an infrequent flyer at best. Way more common, it seems, are our road rage states, an intense feeling of psychic distress. It’s as if we want to grab the world by the throat.

Next "Up": Dysphoric Mania

Tabby took the words right out of my mouth:I'm on edge constantly.  Like a cat on a hot tin roof, prickly and claws baring.  This sudden and rising imploding pressure building and building within me.  I have to move, I have to run, I have to speak faster and faster.  I can't stop speaking, I can't stop moving, I can't stop... Read moreChevron

up to date

Dancing on tables, out of character - hypomania. Dancing on tables, part of your baseline personality - hyperthymic... Read moreChevron
