Thoughts are going a mile a minute. Feel a crazy manic phase coming on. Still feel good. Just everywhere. I really want a propeller hat. They're the funniest thing. I'm going to go online and find some halloween costume patterns for the kids. We love playign dressup.

Gonna be a long night.. Let's see.. how to do it.. My husband is going to be so upset. Settle girl.. Settle... He's so good and patient too. Aaah.. maybe I'll put some energy to work and break out the sewing machine. He likes when I go productive instead of skittish. I am learning control, but it's oh so hard to redirect yourself. So hard.

If it keeps up, consider calling your psychiatrist on Monday.

I think that John is right, be careful. I have had dealings with two people with bipolar, one thought that he could handle his manic phases and that they were great but he crashed and burned in a horrible way.

I do not know what meds you are on, but if you are on lithium then be careful. I think that the lithium level in a human can change for various reaosns and take the level of the lithium outside the correct level for the management of the manic symptoms of bipolar. If you are on lithium then you might be well advised to ask yourself the question "has anything happened which could have made my lithium level change ?".

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Aaaah.. sweet medication. Finally. I really should take the meds for this when I notice it starting. Would be much more productive. Now to sleep.......
