Hi, all. My lithium was recently lowered. Also, last month, I had been more talkative and confident than usual, without any other manic symptoms. 

Well, Saturday and Sunday, I had a tough time at work. Either this episode, the lowered dose of lithium, or the combination of the two, has made me incredibly stupid. Also anxious. I was freaking out over everything, and I kept opening the locked fridge and forgetting what I was putting in/getting out. 

I've had thoughts of running away from home, even though I know damn well I have nowhere to go or no one to see. 

I have the whole racing thoughts thing going on, I can't sleep, and I feel hopeless. I'm worried I'm going to lose my job over something that's mostly out of my control. (I've already posted about it.) 

I've been the cat whisperer. We have three cats, and all three of them have been clinging to me, because they know I'm "sick." 

Even my mom says she thinks I'm going into a mixed episode. 

I'm going to cave and call my psychiatrist in the morning...
