Ok let's see. Not sure what the difference between hypo and florid mania is. Can you elaborate on that for me please? I will say that what I was experiencing Tuesday was typical of a short term episode where I just get very restless. I don't feel like focusing on assigned tasks, yet I feel a very strong need to be involved in something exciting. Often there won't be anything exciting going on, so I'll attempt to seek it out, or create it myself. Very often the result is that I get myself in some trouble of some kind. Its also associated with bindge drinking. And along with that, all sorts of trouble would arise. Although this time, there was none of that. Right now, I feel rather stable, although I still feel the stirrings of restlessness deep down. And I really just want to be left alone -- not easy when you've got a wife and 3 little boys. But on the bright side, I've not had a drink in 5 days and I've slept pretty well this week. Its strange though, because I've not made any attempt to quit drinking or any commitment to cut back. Its just happened that way. Of course money's been really tight this week, so that might have something to do with it. We'll see how the holiday goes. I've read on other boards that some people on Lexapro just loose interest in drinking. Well that remains to be seen. I did meet someone interesting yesterday. I suspect it was an "aspect". What is an aspect? Well, those who are familiar with the Seth material know the concept of the "multidimensional self". Basically, what that means is that there is a much larger "You" living out multiple lives in different dimensions and times simultaneously. Some of these "others" you would recognize as the you that you see in the mirror, but they don't usually cross your path, while others who you would not easily recognize occassionally exist in the same time and place. And on occassion you will be attracted to each other for the purpose of...well some purpose that only your higher self is really aware of. In short, you are each different "aspects" of the same higher self. Once in a while, one will cross your path. Well, I suspect that just such a person crossed my path yesterday. I suspect this is the case for several reasons...first because the meeting was completely random and unexpected, yet now that I'm aware of it, I realize the meeting has been inevitable for some time. And because it happened right when I was feeling a strong need for "something" to happen. Also because there was a very stong sense of familiarity. And a tremendous number of similarities in life style. In fact, if there was one way to describe this person, it was that they felt very much like my sibling. Or I could just be making this all up. Looking for meaning in an otherwise meaningless encounter. Or not. Either way, I'm wondering now if this isn't something I should investigate further. Anyway, that was day 6.
Very interesting.
