well, I am bipolar- and believe me what you are going through is not a manic or even hypomanic episode. mood swings are part of the human condition- everyone has them. personally, I think fallsfall gave you great advice. as someone who has gone through a bunch of therps- and was terminated by two of them-what you are feeling now is absolutely normal. what can seem like a great idea the night before is often revealed to be folly the next day. I guess that's why the saying is to 'sleep on it'. (and BTW, if you are sleeping less than 3 hours a night and feeling great, that IS one of the symptoms of a hypomanic/manic episode- I've gone several days without sleep, felt wonderful- and turned out hospitalized and psychotic- but I'm drifting away from my point). and that is, I think it's really healthy to write your thoughts out and if you're comfortable to share them with your present therp.
take care, judy
