This may sound so bizarre, but sometimes when I’m level for such a long period of time (like right now) I start missing being manic. My mood stabilizers make me so exhausted most days that I could sleep at any moment.
When I’m manic I feel like I can conquer the world. I’m productive, vibrant, active, I barely need to sleep or eat, and I feel bright and awake. So when I feel like I’m in a fog of sleepiness so often I start missing those feelings of being manic. I wonder if anyone else feels this way too? Leave me a comment if this is something you also experience when you’re stable.
