My husband never can tell when I am in hypomania, and I can't either. THATS THE PROBLEM, because my hypomania will lead to mania if not taken care of...

I wish he could tell because it could make me aware that I am in danger of a full blown catatonic mania train coming my way.

I am still trying to get it. It is a slight change that happens, my first clue is usually that he likes something he usually doesn't, usually food.

It is sometimes like there are two of him. One remembers where he put something and the other one doesn't. The change back and forth are sometimes so quick there isn't time to get it.

There used to be, before the mood stabilizers and ad's but not not since.

I am just recognizing in myself some of the things you all say happen to you, but still no mania. No periods of no sleep, I sleep too much if given a chance. But I forget appointments or write them down and forget to call for rides to them.

The follow through I have a problem with, the brain fog, the accident prone I have always had. But no euphoric no too happy and never alot of excess energy. Too little energy.

But I wonder if that is from the chronic pain. Broke my back when I was 9. Didn't find out I broke it till my 30's and after having two children.

Been off my ad for a week now and very weepy. I ran out of my high blood pressure medication and since not taking it I forget to take my ad as well.

Need to go call the clinic and see if my meds are ready for pickup and then find a way to go get them. My life is so complicated. I wish someone else would take over the calling for appointments and rides.

They are cappable just don't like using the phone and talking to people. Makes no sense to me that they go to karaoke every fri night and talk to people and sing in front of them. Something I can't do. Stage fright big time.

Mine doesn't notice when I can't do things. Just complains because I didn't fix something for supper. Hears me ask my daughter to feed my horse because I can't but it somehow doesn't click that that means I can't do the dishes or fix a meal for the people either.

I think men don't notice, expect us to notice, and if they do notice get upset because they can't fix it.

thank you all for your kind words of support!
Mari this is very insightful....

My sister tells me when I am getting hyperish. She can hear my voice on the phone. I'm loud and I interupt her.

My friend who passed away last summer used to see it early too. She would say call the pdoc.
