So it has come to my attention that I am in the throes of a hypomanic period. It all started a couple of weeks back where, out of the blue, I decided that I didn't want to be with my partner any more. My reasoning was simple - I wanted to see other people. I wanted to live single so that I could do whatever I wanted without having to ask anyone permission. I wanted to move country, change jobs, go out and party and sleep with a ridiculous number of people.
It seems to be 1.5 year cycle that I have. Every couple of years or so my life gets turned completely upside down. I either lose my job, dump a boyfriend or move locations. It's wearing me out. So before full blown mania set in, I called the crisis team. Today I saw a psychiatrist (not my usual psych) and she prescribed me more of one med and less of the other to try and balance me out.
I'd like to hear if anyone else suffers with bipolar disorder too, make me feel less alone?
Ciao
Sirius
