Well, if I weren’t on medication, I would most certainly be hypomanic right now. As it is, Sunday night I could barely sleep at all (usually my first warning sign). Last night, Monday, I got in bed at 11:00pm. A very few minutes later, I got up and bought a NAMI membership online. By the time I got back in bed, it was well after midnight. I managed to fall asleep, but was wide awake again by 4:03am. I got up and: finished an essay, started a history assignment, went on online NAMI discussion boards, tried to find a NAMI sweatshirt to buy, read a magazine, brushed my teeth, took a shower and ate a plum. It is now 6:15am and I am writing a blog entry. My mind is a little all over the place and I am in a very good mood. I am now going to reorganize my bookshelf – warning sign #2, every time. Chances are extremely good that if I was not on medicine, I would be in full blown hypomania right now. It is possible this will progress into a true episode, we shall have to see.
