Left over symptoms?

I recently had a manic episode. We caught it in time and dropped the severity. However I seems to have some left over symptoms. My sleep for the most part has returned to normal, but I still have some racing & obsessing thoughts--that whole "expansive mood" part. Does this ring true with any of you?

Yeah, I guess it does with me sometimes. I'm strictly on Depakote right now, but even that had to be dropped because my numbers were too high. Even on the higher dose, the meds seemed to "even me out" but didn't totally rid me of symptoms. I guess if we tame the worst parts, we are probably ahead of the game. I don't like the fact that some of my symptoms are triggered by my family and they could care less to acknowledge or fix that, but that's a non-issue I guess. For now I guess I just have to settle for what I have.

My children trigger me often. They seem to get all hyper right around the dinner hour when everything else is going on. Makes me want to tear my hair out and I end up screaming at them -- which I have to apologize for later. :-(
