November 26th hypomania
Today is kinda weird, I’ve been out of it all day I slept for a bit and now it’s 10pm and I can’t sleep. I really feel disconnected from my life right now and am craving more. I feel like hypomania is crawling up on me, because I have this strong urge to go outside on the freezing cold just to feel apart of the world. I don’t know if that makes sense but it does to me right now.

I'm sorry you're having hypomania. I was just diagnosed this year with cyclothemia/minor bipolar and I've had several mania episodes this year. They scare me because I am still learning. If I am anxious sometimes I will go outside in the cold or wash my hands in really cold water to try to bring myself back to reality or distract myself.
@ryebreadsucks
so what happened, how are you?
That sounds familiar. You probably already know this but not sleeping makes mania worse. I have found that having structure helps. Having a set time that I go to sleep and a set time to wake up. I had a week off of work last week and my daughter was at her mom's. It was not good. I stayed up all night, slept most of the day and forgot to take my pills. I was So depressed. It was awful. I hope you are feeling better tonight.
