ok not really sure what's going on but I think its depression. yesterday I wanted to get drunk so bad after getting my 8th ticket and the 2nd one this week alone. I went for a drive instead. right now I just wanna cut but after the bloodletting of the last one I'm trying to refrain. I feel so empty and do not want to talk or be around anyone. Im tired. Ive been at work most of the weekend. I work friday afternoons at pizza hut, friday overnight at the hotel, saturday morning at pizza hut. i took a drive saturday til time to work overnight at hotel. got off at 7:30 and slept from 8-1:40. went to work at pizza hut, now im at hotel and I have school as soon as i get off and pizza hut as soon as I get out of school. Im feeling hopeless, overwhelmed and all of the above. this is my schedule every weekend but its hitting me hard this week.

You wrote "I'm tired." Listen to yourself. You need more sleep. You'll be safe tucked in bed. :) "

" I'm really proud of you for not drinking..I am a recovering alcoholic and addict and sometimes when I can't take it anymore I just want to get blitzed out of my head but I haven't in a year and a half but it is a battle everyday...and I isolate myself because I'm not able to work I am on disability because of my mental illnesses..just be glad that you are able to work. Sending love your way and lots of (((hugs))) "

" I'm glad to see how hard you're trying.. Maybe you need to look at your schedule sweetie.. It sounds grueling and it will take a toll on you.. No wonder you're overwhelmed..
Sleep is SOOOOO important and especially with BP... Perhaps you need to give up one of the jobs.. I realize making money is important but not at the expense of your health and your body will let you know when it's had enough one way or another...
Big hug of comfort for you..xo "

" lack of sleep is supposed to make people manic but I find it just makes me feel very down and I can't handle any problems. Hope things are improving for you now. "
