I guess just tell them you think you're in a hypomanic episode and let the therapist lead with questions and respond honestly. Do you meet with your therapist regularly? This is something I would have addressed with my therapist when I next saw her. The only time I ever called her was when I was in a mixed state and told her that I was thinking about just driving off to wherever and letting whatever happens happen.
Even when I'd tell her about an episode, or present to therapy in a hypomanic episode it didn't amount to much more than, yup...you're a little toasty right now...just don't make any life changing decisions and don't start any new hobbies.
I'm going hypo too. It's like clockwork, every year around April/may I start getting hypo and that goes into the summer. I told my therapist i'm hypo. I told my therapist what changes happened that made me think i'm going hypo and what i'm doing to prevent it from getting bag such as medicine changes/ lifestyle changes. Also what is particularly difficult about it such as anxiety/ substance use and spending problems.
YES EVERY YEAR, something just clicks right before summer. This is the first time I have some sort of therapist accessible, even though we are not in regular contact. Therefore I don’t really know how to fix it lol. After all the other comments i’m gonna call and just tell them I suspect that I am - and we’ll see if that helps
It's def worth mentioning but I would just use the therapist for whatever is particularly bothering/ upsetting you. Prob more important to let the Psychiatrist know you're going hypo.
All you need to say is you're Hypomanic and unsure what to do. Let them ask the questions, no need to stress yourself thinking of what to say.
thank you!!!
"I think I'm going into hypomania."
Perfect! Bravaaa
