Hi there.
> Your being "up" when traveling doesn't mean mania. Most people are up when traveling. New things to do, see, different environment, lots of activities scheduled. It may be that you just crashed when coming home. This has happened to me a couple of times. I've been moderately depressed twice, went on a vacation out of the country, felt great, came home and ended up in the hospital. A lot of people with depression, I would imagine, have some degree of mood reactivity and can be pulled out of the low mood under circumstances where the mind is fully engaged elsewhere. If I have a major project due at work, I can get myself out of bed long enough to focus and finish it, then collapse afterward. I guess this is called atypical depression.

>I wasn't hospitalized but it sure felt like I was headed there. Its hard for me to figure out exactly what my trigger was this time because I was also sick when I got home. And off all meds. Ugh.
