I don't think I am manic

Postby limarie » Sun Jul 13, 2014 12:16 pm

At the moment I don't feel manic at all, I just feel great, happy that my medication is working and I am actually happy and confident.

My psych nurse came this week and said I was wired and elevated, I kept saying I was fine but she wanted to send someone else out to see me. They came a few days later and said I had gotten much worse despite me insisting I am fine, I feel they just want to make me miserable again.

I was referred to the care of a hospital team who come out from the psych ward to visit and assess. I keep saying I am fine apart from feeling nausea from my racing head (doesn't race all the tine tho).

I see my psychiatrist tomorrow, and to be honest I am sure he will just say I am okay and I will feel like I have been wasting time. They are jumping at shadows.

No matter how many times I say I am okay they just don't believe me. My husband is worried, friends say they have noticed, but I am sure it is just because they are not used to seeing me happy. I am just having a great time and I am being made to feel bad about it.

What should I do?

Unfortunately we aren't able to notice our manias all that easily. (Guilty myself -- took me way to long to notice my recent one, and only once I spent some time in a hospital was I able to say "oh, yeah, that was a bit odd".) If your husband and your nurse notice changes in your behaviour, it's a pretty good clue -- those are people who know you. It is very good you are seeing your psychiatrist -- hopefully he will agree with you.
Currently working on my upcoming signature.
