Since I've been on medication I'm coasting along on a flat 0, neither too high or too low. The only problem is that things associated with my highs and lows are still occurring, but they feel different when absent from mood, and this is causing me some confusion. Not quite sure how to explain it... well, for example, normally when I'm depressed I get fearful and imagine all sorts of bad things happening. I've still had periods of panic, but without the depression, which makes me more likely to take it seriously, since I've always known my depressions are untrustworthy. And my manias are still causing me to be more productive, sleep less, eat less, excercise more, but I'm not feeling high so I don't know if this is normal or me heading in the wrong direction again.
For example, I had less than five hours sleep last night, and today I've finished a draft of a book I was writing, studied Polish for an hour, practised guitar for a few hours, run on the treadmill till I had to give up, faffed on line, and am still not tired. It's only five to four, and I can't seem to stop thinking.
But I'm still feeling a flat 0.
