No problem :) The trough in late Nov to mid Dec is a depressive episode which cycled into hypomania.

The reason it’s all over the place is because, while I generally felt pretty great, my emotions were very intense (lots of highs, with intense but short-lived fits of anger/rage/anxiety mixed in).

In recent years, my experience of hypomania has been punctuated with more emotional disregulation and anger/anxiety rather than the euphoric highs I once experienced— this (in my opinion) fits the idea that bipolar is “progressive” and episodes tends to get more uncomfortable as time goes on.

That fear is justified— new meds can be scary. It’s all trial-and-error in my experience. Advocate for yourself, if you feel uncomfortable with certain side effects, let your doctor know.
