I&#8217;m not so sure they are for me. Level is very boring and I have less get up and go and am not so active and or hypomanic anymore. I can gladly loose the depression when it does come but the highs I need because that&#8217;s mostly all I&#8217;ve ever know. \u00a0I could do with a few months of hypomania again to get me kickstarted with work. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Hmmmm. Meds.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Ive been told I&#8217;m better on them and that my moods aren&#8217;t switching like they did. I&#8217;m told that I&#8217;m much more balanced. I had a tricky job recently and I didn&#8217;t loose the plot and kind of dealt with it although I paid the price for it with my physical health. Talking of which I have been quite physically unwell. I had two weeks off work and last week I only did short days going back to work. The first week off I had a bad case of flu mixed in with mild stomach flu. I saw the doctor and he said flu. He said to expect it to take 3 weeks to get over. I thought a few days off work then I&#8217;d be back. He was right. It&#8217;s taken the 3 weeks! After the first week of flu it seemed to go to my chest and the Monday of week 2 I went back to the surgery and saw a nurse. She was worried that I had pneumonia again and sent me off for a chest X-ray and gave me a very high dose of antibiotics. The chest X-ray came back ok and I just had a really bad chest infection. I have to go back in June for another chest X-ray just to be 100%. I think the physical illness has zapped some of my awesomeness. Fingers crossed it&#8217;ll be back soon. If it&#8217;s not then it could be bye bye medication.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep forgetting to write.
