Mania from the DBSA conference!\u00a0 (DBSA stands for the Depression, Bipolar Support Association- the conference was this weekend in Virginia)<\/p>\n
I just received the following comment from Denise, a DBSA participant.<\/p>\n
I too was at the conference, and found your workshop on Relationships to be an excellent workshop.<\/p>\n
Don’t know about others who have BiPolar Disorder who were at the conference, but by the end, I was beginning to feel the mania coming on. Too much auditory stimulation I suppose. As I write this, I am waiting on my dr to return my call, as I also started getting visual ‘distortions’ toward the end of the conference.<\/p>\n
Julie, it was a pleasure to meet you at the conference.<\/p>\n

\nOh, yes. I experienced the same thing. I often feel there should be a class on how to stay stable when you go to a conference on bipolar disorder! My worries are more that I will get depressed when I get home. The conference was so wonderful, it’s often hard not to go down when you get back to your regular life.<\/p>\n
I made sure I was booked today. The depression tried to come in last night, but I said no!<\/p>\n
Today is good. I think the secret is to have something to look forward to the days you get back. I am watching closely for mania as I have never felt \u2018good\u2019 when I get home from an event.<\/p>\n
I had a lot of paranoia during and after my first presentation. At one point, I actually had the thought that all of my evaluations were faked! I had to laugh at that one. It’s so important that we know our own symptoms.<\/p>\n
It’s great that Denise knows her signs of mania and then called her doctor!<\/p>\n
