I typically am hypomanic in August. My world sees me as not as funny as I think I am and swearing too much. But I feel self-confident and sexual and need little sleep.
My doctor assumes that rag weed pollen is the culprit. He says I have a brain allergy to rag weed and it causes my brain to swell.
Alternately, I sometimes get high in May. That would also be a pollen season here where I live and breathe.
Never heard of pollen as a culprit. Spring time is my high time. I’m all about to go lose weight, get a sex toy and start some projects. Then in Winter it’s okay time to crawl into a hole and die.
I wish @Jayster I could time it. I get it st lease once a day right nowdepending on the situation. I csnt make predictions
Sounds a bit like SAD to me.
As peculiar as it sounds, your Doc could be onto something. Allergens can wreak havoc on the histamine pathways, which in turn affect the endocrine and steroidal-hormone systems, which in tern come back and affect the neurotransmitters.
Jayster , is your diagnosis SZA? I suppose SZA is more difficult to handle than SZ.
Ya know, every time I go to a different doctor, I get a different diagnosis.
But clearly I have PTSD and alcoholism and drug addiction and chronic lower back pain.
Now, I am also free of smoking! One year, nine months, two weeks, two days, 8 hours, 23 minutes and 46 seconds. 43975 cigarettes not smoked, saving $8,795.08. Life saved: 21 weeks, 5 days, 16 hours, 35 minutes.
