Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I am new to this site and I am not really sure what to say but I am really struggling today and feel like i should write something maybe it would make me feel better. I have been doing okay for a while now but recently i cant sleep again and i just feel like i want to burst out of my skin.
sorry you are struggling right now. we all do at some point. are you on meds? are you in therapy? can you call one of your doctors?
You've found a great site, write more post - reply and write on others, take your mind off your pain, if you're helping someone else, or trying to smile, or offer a smile.............. for me, smile and laughter are hope and release : )
Great people here! Friends to be made!!!
I hope being here for a bit really Has made you feel better,though I doubt being here will help you sleep at night!
Feel free to browse topics to learn what we go through, and don't be afraid to comment or post any time you (hope) to learn more. :)
And sleep is very, very important to bipolars. Lack of it can put you in a severe mood swing.
Yeah, I think we've all been there without being able to sleep and the irritability that comes with it.....not fun!
Maybe talk to ur pdoc about that...you may need a med adjustment. Lack of sleep just leads to bigger problems when ur bipolar :-(
I'll think you'll find a lot of support here :-)
(((((hugs))))))
Uh-oh!! Sleep problems!!!
Yeah, I have to avoid 'sleep problems'!!
Because 'no sleep', well. That way lies madness!! Literally!!
For me, anyway!!
What are you doing about it?
Are you on meds to help you sleep?
Are you under the care of a Pdoc? (psychiatrist)
If so, maybe it's time for a med tweak.
And if not, maybe it's time to find one and look into a treatment plan!!
I'm glad you're here!!!!
I hope it helps you!!!
Good luck, beccs!!!
I hope you're doing better soon!!!!
(((((Hugs)))))
I have somewhat of a history of meds working nicely for me for a while -- and then stopping, for no apparent reason.
Then I move on to something else and stick with it for as long as it works!!
I'm not doing as well as I USUALLY do with sleeping lately, but it's not TOO bad.
It seems like quite a few of us have troubles in the Spring.
Wishing you sweet dreams!!!
Most of us have been where you are right now.
Hang in there, and keep posting...talking helps !
Not sleeping is no good.
