The Cat Woke Me Up

I can't sleep. I've been tossing and turning for the last half hour. I suppose I'd like to blame this on the cat. But, there are several other factors that make this night time restlessness more likely a case of October hypomania.

This morning, with my therapist, I successfully presented my list of symptoms and concluded that I'm just "feeling good." Not every episode of me feeling better needs to be jump on to and criticized as bad. Sometimes feeling good is all about just feeling good, and its normal.

First clues: Impulsive. Risk Talking. Fast Thinking.

New clues, that change my mind: High energy. Loss of appetite. Insomnia.

At the gym tonight... during my ten minute warm up, I easily was able to keep the pace at 155-160+ on the elliptical machine. Over the last several weeks I've been struggling to reach the goal of making it through the entire ten minutes without dropping below 140. Well, tonight, that wasn't a problem.

Typically (over the last six weeks) when I get home at night, I've been experiencing the munchies. I get home from the gym and find myself piggy out on the couch while I catch up on my favorite TV, or the current Netflix. Tonight... I ate a single cookie. That was it. It's nearly morning and I'm not feeling hungry.
