Bipolar II how quick can depression lift?

[windchimes23]

I was at my wits end on Sunday, now things seem positive. I simply have to go out tomorrow and buy new plants for the window boxes and porch. I need pumpkins, lots of them. Halloween fun, invited family to visit.

I am in the process of diagnosis. I don't feel manic but after pretty much spending eight weeks in bed I feel like the whole universe is coming out of my mouth at once. That can't be normal but I am aware of it, so I must be lucid?

It can't switch this quick surely? I need to do everything right now, just this minute. Right now!

everyone is probably different but if your mood has lifted it's lifted whether it's been months or hours

have you recently started on some new medication as part of the diagnostic procedure?

Been on a different combination of meds for three weeks. Have had all manner of side effects, tremors, brain zaps, stomach problems.

Just feel high. Need to sort out the last eight weeks mess. Now, right now. All ok at the moment but never come up this fast before. Normally a slow transition from low to normal to high. This just seems so rapid?

The switch from depressed to manic can happen very quickly in some people, including me. I suggest you contact your psychiatrist.

I have never had this before, it usually comes in waves. This is straight up. Will call psych in morning, I am pretty high but lucid.

Kids and DH have gone to bed. Am going to clean edges of sinks and toilets with bleach and an old toothbrush. That should keep me focused and out of mischief Feel super sparkly like a fairy, just had some delish Brie on crackers. It was very fine indeed and a small glass of Fleurie. V V happy, oh it's so good, it feels so seductive. I feel great, thank god the misery has gone

Take care x

How are things today?

I've tried to keep calm, no emergency so no psychatrist until Tuesday. I have been trying to come down watching lifetime movies on YouTube. Trashy but absorbing.

I've also managed to clean two rooms and am just about to a karcher the patio, if I stick to the productive it will be ok until Tuesday.

Thanks for asking :)
