The improvement I noticed was first of all in terms of insomnia. I was able to sleep a full eight hours and fall asleep with 15 minutes.
I stopped having uncharacteristic thoughts about sex and substance use.
I also was able to concentrate at work. I also don't neglect household chores anymore, like cleaning, paying bills, washing the car etc.I'm just happier, and more outgoing, and it's not that edgy Prozac "I can conquer the world" feeling. I can appreciate a beautiful day.
My diagnosis is Bipolar II.
I don't know exactly how to describe it, it's like the lights came on or my life makes sense now, and the glass is half full.
I actually have a measure of gratitute for being Bipolar, it can be a blessing as well as a curse. It's enabled me to be able to accomplish things I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
Like hold down a job by working my *ss off when I'm hypomanic in order to compensate for the down times when I accomplish nothing.
