Hello everybody out there. My name is Nancy. My PDOC says I have bipolar but she won't specify which one. I'm on Abilify 10 mg and Prozac 80mg.
Back a couple of years ago, I think I was manic. It felt like I was on a high all the time, like nothing could bring me down. And I was very sexually-goal oriented. I was obsessed with sex. I even went as far as seducing my taken boss and several of his coworkers.
So now I'm all gravy cause I'm on Abilify and Prozac, but here's the kicker. I MISS being manic. I MISS my sex drive (which is non existent now). I MISS my creativity (I used to write tons of novels and stories). I miss the all around general good mood I was in.
I don't miss the psychosis or any of that junk. But is there a way to have the good parts of mania without the bad? This sounds really terrible I know, but as a writer not having my creative juices has been killing me.
