Normal?
I'm baffled by how difficult it is to find the urge to write when I'm feeling "normal". My increase in Abilify has allowed me to get out of bed, most days before my alarm goes off. I'm not suffering insomnia at this time, but sometimes I may only sleep 4-6 hours but its solid sleep which is new for me. I've found that I'm continuously amped or manic now that I'm not depressed. I try to counteract the anxiety with a dose of Clonazepam. It's like a game of which pill to take when to get on the right track. I've been very productive the last couple of weeks, but have also been spending money shopping on line like I have no business doing. I have now confirmed not only depression makes me shop - that apparently just happens no matter how I am feeling. Sometimes I may just be buying cat litter and food, but I am buying it on credit online instead of budgeting my cash and going to the store. It's a vicious cycle. Me and shopping....
