Happy for you, too.
It is a great feeling. I also get it sometimes. Sadly it don’t last long.

it is great to feel above the water so to speak.
while I am in this “normal” mood I decided I want to be good to my heart. like to share and love and to avoid learning hatreds, etc.
I hope I can do good things with this thought.

I’m happy you had a good moment ! I get them too. What do we need to do to our brains to make the normal moments last? Maybe we will never know, but it is nice to look forward to the next time.

Hi Judy, that’s marvellous… long may it last. Can I ask, have you changed or done anything differently than usual to bring this on or is it a case of luck? I sometimes wake normal but this may be because sleep reduces and breaks down dopamine which cause hallucinations. The stress of the day makes me worse towards nightime…
Happy for you Judy. I’ve been taking clozapine for a couple days, and it’s really helping. Here’s to many more days!
That’s so great! I had that happen three days ago-such a relief.
I don’t use the word “normal”, but content/happy/at peace sometimes. Is that what you felt? It’s wonderful, but usually fleeting. I hope it lasts fo you! Sometimes, for me, there are moments without agitation, and those are priceless.

When I feel normal is when I don’t have any symptoms at all, happens a bit everyday. Had a week like that a couple of months ago.

I don’t think I ever have that. A week would be extraordinary! I can not imagine. 
It felt great. No negative symptoms, no god delusion, nothing. I was taking ginko biloba at the time, it helped a bit then something weid happened here at the forum and the symptoms came back, then I became hypomaniac and stopped taking the ginko biloba and went back to regular sz me.

That’s interesting! I used to drink a ginko biloba soda a long time ago. I was under a lot of stress in those years so maybe it helped but I’m not sure. Have you thought of taking it up again?
Not really, my mood swings have been crazy lately, I think I don’t need more energy right now.

I’m sorry. 
mood swings are awful. It was my birthday yesterday, and was I happy? Here and there, in between being angry and sad and frustrated… Do you have a strategy for mood swings?
Yeah, I searched about it and we talked about it in class, what I have it’s called cyclotimia, basically go through the day with manic and depressed episodes. A bit here, a bit there, it’s tireing.
That sounds exhausting. I hope you find rekief some way
