Last Time I was Manic

Last time I was manic, I stayed up all night watching the same movie over and over- every night for a week!I drove recklessly. I wrote posts in my blog every day for weeks- sometimes 2x per day. I planned to combine all these posts into a non-fiction work focusing on how Zyprexa will kill you. I had a good outline already written with references. I thought God was telling me the meaning of the universe and that everything was connected in one big entity- I compared this to singing gregorian chant. I went to see my case manager and almost immediately after I walked in she said "You're manic!" I stopped for a moment- "No Im not..." My pdoc put me on a very heavy dose of seroquel. It made me sleep deeply. She told me later that had the seroquel not worked, I wouldve been hospitalized. I also was trying things I normally would not have with my sex partner- I was insatiable.

Regular Schedules

Saw my case manager this morning. She said to get on a regular sleep schedule and stick with it- to sleep 8 hours. She also said to take Seroquel earlier in the evening. She seemed to think everything else with me is hunky dorey-brainwise, anyway. Just need to exercise more.  I think if I can pull this off, I might just get things accomplished! I have to lose more weight because of my fatty liver.  My CM said it IS more difficult to lose weight on psych meds.  As I've said before, its the antipychotics- Zyprexa, Seroquel, etc that give one metabolic syndrome where its nearly impossible to lose weight.  This MUST change!  I think the typical APs are better in this instance.  God! I need a nap!  I love getting up at 6 a.m. when the sun's already up, but my body complains after a while.
