Hey! Just a quick post to see if anyone can relate. My transition from winter me to summer me seems to be taking place a little early this year. It's normally late April early May but having had one of the sunniest Febs on record things seem to be progressing a tad quicker. As the years go by I find i'm more an more aware of specific symptoms in particular the horrible feelings I get as my body adjusts once again. Lately I've noticed I don't wake early in the morning or during the night and seem to follow a more normal sleep pattern which is the first indication things are changing. Over the last couple of days i've started getting the familiar anxiety and jittery feeling (quite unpleasant) just feel really unsettled . This will probably last a week or so and then the fun starts with the mania which I love- LOOK OUT BABY I'M BACK! Just wondered if anyone else gets this period of intense jitteryness and anxiety before mania kicks in? I sort of feel like i'm about to have the biggest exam of my life lol Anyhoo all replys appreciated,
A fortnight ago I was really having a bad day, but at the moment I'm feeling good and starting to reduce my medication. Sleep pattern is changing. I'm working away from Thursday for a week and looking forward to this, then when I get back I have another week before going back to regular job.
I'm still having times when I'm rather unsettled. It kind of feels as if the spring feeling is too good to be true and I don't want to get all excited about it and then have another 'down'.
