In reply to Hypomania-- a solution to TR Depression?, posted by Girlnterrupted on November 2, 2005, at 6:45:53
Hi,
If that's hypomania I'll take it. I'm not bipolar. I have one miserable pole. I would think that after years of feeling like this if I were to feel good (that is to say "normal") I'd probably be singing and dancing and hugging strangers in the street. To a medical professional that might suggest hypomania or mania or insanity, but in fact would just be an expression of joy for having gotten my life back. It certainly doesn't sound as if you were doing yourself or anyone else any harm. Indeed it appears to be to the contrary. I don't know if anyone is truly qualified to know what one's reaction to being "liberated" from depression should be.
Once again I've never experienced mania or hypomania. I'm pretty much a complete flatline. Whatever it was that you experienced, as you've described it, seems pretty appealing to me. Anyway, good luck...
By the way, thanks to your post I'll be adding Celexa to my "Medications to Consider" list. :-)
Paul
