Yesterday, the 19th, I knew I was hypomanic. Today it's full-blown and I have akathisia.

She said it's the hypomania.
I'm not suicidal. I don't want to die. I don't have a plan. If any of that changes, it's to the ER I go. I don't have a problem with that- I don't want to hurt myself again.

She told me to stay on the Latuda, which is approved for bipolar depression. I had reservations about taking it in the first place because last time on the seesaw I was on the air not on the ground? But I will do it.
And she told me to keep taking the xanax. It does nothing for akathisia. I have an expression for that, but it's not appropriate for the forum.

My pdoc will not be in the office until Wednesday (2 days from now). I have an appointment with her Friday.

I think I'll take ANOTHER shower.
