hi @Former-Member , still learning here xx
just mr shaz was on a high yesterday doing so much , today he wanted to still do lots but he was unprepared , forgotten this and forgotten that
he decided to take the trailer around and pick up our customers branches on the way to the dump

Do you think hypomania @Shaz51 ? Those with BPii tend to spend more time in the lows and I think we can feel a little uncomfortable when "the hype" (as I call it) kicks in.
Embarrassing when off comments are made 😬 and we are the party poopers who are no fun at all ...
The danger that once the hype wears off that a low will follow and I know we both know the dangers that can present if it gets to the major stage. This is one reason I am grateful Mr Darcy does his mood charting.
I am going to have to watch Mr Darcy, with our possible move he is getting a little animated too, pdoc suggested drug taper be put on hold until we are settled in new place.

That's the trouble @Shaz51 , unpredictable. Usually I would report hype to treating team, he not long had a tweakage as his taper med went down he needed an up adjustment on the other ... would Mr Shaz be amenable to seeing pdoc again?
Did he show any interest in filling out even the mood / anxiety rating on a mood chart?

mr shaz changes his mind @Former-Member , one day he will say to ring but then we would have to start all over again , and then he cancells the appt and then he goes it alone and then he goes around again

I try to be matter of fact about things @Shaz51 and say as Mr D is on psychotropic drugs he needs to be under the supervision of a pdoc - an expectation, rather than something that is negotiable.
Mr Darcy decided he did not need the new psychologist @Shaz51 , he does go to the GROW group which has been really helpful, will see what happens. Sadly she went down the mindfulness path and Mr Darcy thought he had been there, done that and it was not for him so he wasn't going to waste his time.

yes mr shaz`z last psychologist gave him an internet site to look and to complete the course @Former-Member , but mr shaz does not read anything or answer questions
so I read them to him and wrote down his answer to question 1 and that was it

The twins @Shaz51!!!
Sadly there is no magic pill, which I think Mr D would like (wouldn't we all?). I must say though, Mr D presses on and pushes himself to do things and he is so much better than before.

I think after what we've been through that we are a little on edge that any change in mood could be the start of another dark period @Shaz51 .
Distinguishing happy/sad and normal variations in enthusiasm or lack of it in relation to work vs an underlying mood shift can be tricky at times.
