one day here the next day gone

So I posted last week about how I felt like I was on the verge of going off the deep end. Everything seemed to be about to blow up in my face, and was completely convinced that I was ready to accept it, because it would be fun and was what I really wanted it to be (might have been posted as lost_@_C - I'm still not sure how I have two different names).
Anyway, Friday instead of going out, I decided to stay home, not drink, and just be with my kids. DH went to a bachelor party so it was just me and the boys all night. I think it was really good for me. After they went to bed, I just hung out, putzed around on MySpace, shopped online and watched TV. Saturday morning I woke up, feeling like the world that was crashing down around me was all of a sudden gone. Everything felt "somewhat normal" again. I think I came down a bit, was pretty quite (and very tired!) on Saturday and Sunday. I know my meds hadn't kicked in yet. I had only increased them by 50mg for one day. So is this something that can just happen on it's own. One day you feel like you're going to jump off a cliff into the depths of chaos, and the next morning you wake up as if that never even happened? Almost makes me feel like I'm always over reacting when I feel that way, like it really isn't necessary. What's up with all that?

Sounds pretty normal to me. I find myself doing the same thing....one day wanting to chuck it all and be who I THINK I might be and then the next just thankful for what I DO have in my life.

Good Luck,

That's BP for you--one minute you can be ready to dive off a skyscraper without a bungee chord and the next day it's all sunshine & roses.

I was a rapid cycler and this was very normal for me. Actually even now being stable my moods can change quickly like that the only difference is the intensity of that mood and my bad moods seems to die off a lot quicker then they use to.

Good luck and I hope you meds kick in soon!
