Sorry about the hypomania, that's a lot to deal with. I can somewhat relate.
I've been battling PTSD and GAD for the last 3 years - it comes in waves. Some
weeks I can function, some I can't. I seem to be drug resistant to
anti-depressants, and they won't give me the good stuff. ha-ha ...I had to
retire early because of it.
Mike
