Time Out In The Giggle House

This hub focuses on what life with bipolar is during the manic phase is like. There are those people in life who think being manic is like touching the moon. I suppose briefly it is like having the best high of your life, but eventually you start aiming for the landing pad, and that is not exactly a comfortable target tp land on. The days went like this...

I have been UBER manic for exactly 2 days now. I believe the 160 mgs of Geodon boosted my butt right into outer space. It's a good thing all the money I have been saving for my move to Florida is with my mother. Or I would be shopping, playing, partying, and having wild sex with it.

Yeah that sounds utterly crazy huh? Well I am done giving Geodon a chance. I mean when I am this manic I should be safely ensconced in a mental facility where it is safe. Right now I feel totally invincible. Luckily I still have some logic and KNOW I am NOT God. But I dang well feel like I could take on anything, and that includes fun things God gets to do.

Me and Doctor Get Wellington are not doing so great in finding some stability department. But I still adamantly refuse Clozaril and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments. My mother very kindly suggested that might be the answer for me. She had them several years ago when they were not exactly nurturing. Excuse me mother but are you nuts? I can't remember my birthday now, imagine what shock treatments would do with it? Thank you for suggesting it, but maybe later.

I am hoping the Seroquel and Ativan will bring me down a few notches or I am going to take my pennies to the bar and have a jolly old time. Or accept a DATE with one of those chaps in my apartment building that has boogers for brains. Again logic tells me having to many shots of tequila, dancing on tables, doing the wild thing, getting pregnant, eloping, and suddenly realizing I made a big boo boo.

No sleep for a few days makes me type faster. It even makes me think I am funny. Ha Ha! Can't write when I am this manic because I get busy doing 1,739 other important things like cleaning, arranging furniture, pacing, talking to loud, driving my mother to the point of rolling her eyes. Yes rolling her eyes. That can be so irritating sometimes. So that is me today, I am working on going down to an acceptable level or seriously considering a Time Out In The Giggle House if the medication combo doesn't kick in immediately. Hhhm! Being manic like this is just so joyful up to a certain point, then I just want to jump off a building to see if I can fly. And we all know how that would end. A day in the life of a flying bipolar, well you get the idea...

Hi DzyMsLizzy-I am doing much better these days on a nice combination of medications. It was a bad period there for awhile. With bipolar you can never tell when it is going to change. So I am grateful when I am well. Thank you for your kind words.

Hi-

I hope you find the right combo. I can't even imagine what it's like to be THAT "up" for whatever reason--drinking too much doesn't do it for me--just puts me to sleep. (And I've never tried any other drugs..) I'm sure the coming down side must involve complete exhaustion after doing all that high-energy stuff.

Best wishes to you!

Hey Huntgoddess-I have done extensive research on shock therapy, and it is only my last resort. At one time it was the route I was going to take, my manic episodes were so bad. But I am fairly okay for now. So that option is not up for debate right now. it was that or Clozaril.Thank you for commenting, it is great having you here at HubPages.:)

Don't let anybody talk you into shock treatment, and don't sign anything, if you can possibly get out of it. I know they try to put gigantic pressure on clients, to sign away their rights.

God bless.

Hey BlogggerOne-Oh I am doing much better these days. That was just one day not to long ago. When I was having trouble trying to find the right medication combination. There are so many layers to bipolar/manic depression. So many bad days and so many good ones too.

Thank you so much for caring :)
