So I use to be big on cleaning and cooking...like I was obsessed. Most of the time, it was a hypomanic episode. I started using drugs and just let everything fall to the wayside and my bff picked up the slack. I have a year and 3 months clean and sober but I still couldn't get the energy and motivation to clean or cook. I thought about it all the time but couldn't do it. But yesterday, I had this urge to clean, clean, clean. I've cleaned every room in the house. Like hardcore cleaned. I'm super proud (pathetic I know) that I FINALLY had the motivation to do it and prepare to decorate for Christmas but I can't help but worry I may be starting a hypomanic episode. I've been pretty stable since I came into sobriety...a few depressive episodes but no hypomanic episodes that I can point out. I guess I'll just be grateful I had the urge to clean and enjoy the ride. I do feel a million times better now that my space is clean.
