Battling Hypomania - My Warning Signs and Mitigation Tactics (IG Post)

    I originally posted this to Instagram, but I thought it was important to share on here as well for those who are not on social media. I am currently exhibiting many of the signs below. I did immediately tell my girlfriend and asked for her help in monitoring. But, I have been admittedly quite irritable, having a difficult time sleeping and am seemingly okay without eating which is wildly out of character for me.  

    I also set up an appointment with my psychiatric APNP and am possibly starting a new short term anti-psychotic to limit the highs that come with hypomania. Hopefully it works!
