Catastrophe Averted
Thought I’d share a win.
My manic/psychotic episodes only happen every 2-3 years. While I’m very lucky they’re so infrequent, the negative is that it’s easy to let my guard down. This last week I noticed myself sleeping way less and a lot of paranoid racing thoughts started to slip in throughout the day. I recognized what was happening and took my emergency unnamed medication that helps me sleep and which supposedly can prevent breakthrough mania. Well it worked. 2 good night sleeps later and I’m feeling back to normal again.
This is the first major example that I might finally be able to get this under control and not let it ruin my life every couple years. Being able to recognize the early signs of mania is definitely key. I’m happy about it.
