Current mood:

somewhat manic

Oh dear. It's the upswing...
So. I'm probably (read that as almost certainly) hypomanic right now - may be headed towards a full mania (always hard to tell with me how hard I'm gearing up, especially when I'm exhausted at the same time).

Head buzzing. Was so wired when I got home from work last night I stayed up until about two-thirty (very rare for me these days), initially got up at about 6/6:30 but managed to force myself to stay in bed drifting in and out of uneasy sleep until 10ish. Having small difficulty sitting still some of the time, although tiredness is helping with that. Smoking waaaaaaay too much (and by that I mean more than the "smoking too much" I've fallen into the last week or so). Could not focus on playing a video game this morning. On the other hand, I'm not having the impulse to pace, exactly. Although I feel the need to attach a "yet" to that preceding sentence. Having general difficulty focusing, et al.

I blame... being promoted.

No, really, it makes sense - hear me out:
My sleep schedule is a little bit more out of whack than it was getting (and it was getting out of whack anyway, so I can't entirely blame work, I concede.) My eating schedule is way rearranged. And I'm running around like a rabid little weasel, expending ever so much more energy than I've been accustomed to in recent months. All possible/likely "triggers."

Here's hoping I stay in the hypo- variety of mania... it makes the crash ever so much softer. And (though so very unlikely) sometimes absent.
