So I’m schizoaffective. I was severely depressed the past 3 days, contemplating suicide. Then today it was like a light bulb switched and I feel like I could write a song that would make a million dollars. I can’t sleep, feel like it’s noon, my thoughts are racing, I’m texting everyone who I think could be awake. This is hypomania. I told my damn doctor my mood swings a lot and he just blew me off. I know I need a mood stabilizer.

I get the depression but never get that mania. I sometimes would like some more energy but I get it’s so problematic when it’s unfocused and such. I’d imagine talking to your doctor and making them see that is a thing to do.
I get this energy like twice a month. I can’t sleep and I’m in a really good mood. It’s definitely some type of mania.
Did I read you’re getting a new psychiatrist? If you are you can ask for a mood stabilizer.
Last month I had two mood swings for some reason. I had anger then happiness then another day depression then happiness. I didn’t like the anger or depression. If I keep getting mood swings this year I’ll ask my psychiatrist for a mood stabilizer.
I get them every week. I’m generally happy for 3 days then depressed for 5 to 7. And usually once a month I get this manic thing where I’m super excited and can’t sleep.
I’m usually depressed even though I’m on the max dose of my antidepressant. It’s very rare that I’m happy.
Are some people with bipolar happy al the time without the lows
No. I think the lows are more common than mania. Being manic can happen for a month but you ultimately have to have depression as well. If you were a constant good mood I’d think they would just say you are happy. Bipolar requires good moods and bad moods
@pasteyface ask your doctor about going on a mood stabilizer, it makes all the difference in the world.
Although I’m on 2 different mood stabilizers today I’m feeling hypomanic a bit.
But overall my moods are controlled
