Sorry to hear that Thor. I have sleep issues too. Anxiety, sleep, you name it. Paranoia.

sleep issues also so any sleep is short and disturbing - anxiety, PTSD, depression.

Thor,
This has been going on for a couple of days right? Maybe you should seek a higher level of care. I'm no expert by I don't think it's safe to be manic for days. I just worry.

have you any meds to hand at all to help get you steady? hope you hear from your pdoc soon. CPTSD nightmares have been keeping me awake for months but hot baths with essential oils, breathing exercises, meditation + judicious use of xanax have been keeping me relatively 'sane'. I'm worried about your heart.

You will likely have some sort of an episode if you don't get some proper sleep soon. That's a fact.

So Doc never called. I went in to see him and got admitted by him that afternoon. I went five full days without sleep and then was sedated by a large dose Thorazine. I was inside for three days and got two goo eight hour sleeps.

That's great Thor...… It's good to hear from you.... Thorazine is the same type of med that I was on to bring me back to earth... Perphenazine

The major tranquillizers aren't used nearly as much anymore but they can sure help to bring you down..... Big hug.....xo

Sun - They sure did. I think I need to get my doc to have three regimes that I follow - depressed, mania, normal.

I am thankfully normal today. I usually crash into depression but not yet. I'll take it as a win.

    I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now.  I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed.  So many bad things have happened since my mom passed.  One thing after another it seems.  Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up.  Thank...

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
