its interesting that you said you became hypomanic at springi'm going to relate my last few months to you.
i started perphenazine in april and immediately (within a week or so) started feeling better and better.(am now wondering if it was weather or such)
these last two weeks or so i've been headed back down slowly. each day just a little lower. but i can tell a big difference between my mood now and last month.at first i just thought it was the weather. then i thought it was the perphenazine not working anymore. then i thought i was triggered by something that brought it down.
i'm exercising more now. but it stays persistent. i'm am slowly going down.
i too don't feel hopeless. i have two beautiful loving children that need me. but its getting harder and harder to smile. to not ruminate on my depression.
i don't even really want to contact pdoc cuz i don't want to switch meds anymore.
i too feel like maybe i just need to toughen up a little. that life is and will always be a bit of battle for me.
Then someone responded to you mentioning the days beginning to get shortercould that really effect mood? cuz its not really like i'm outside all day till it gets dark.
i'm just wondering if this downfall, cycle, chemical imbalance (whatever) is somehow related to something else? something that maybe i can control, or augment, or alter
Any insights would be appreciated.thanks for listening.
