Big hugs

But sweetie, you know the booze isn't helping.

End of lecture

For help in trying to calm down, try a Benadryl.
Benadryl is used in psyh hospitals for help in relaxing and for sleep aide.

Good luck
{{hugs}}

I hope you receive the help that you need sweetie... Big hug of comfort for you and a blessing..xo

Thank you both. I know booze doesn't help. I'm in hell. I only like 3 total today, it's one sip at a time. I hate alcohol. Problem with Benadryl is the adverse effect. It's almost over

I'm sorry ur manic right now....I do understand and care. This illness can be such a lonely feeling sometimes. I really hope it subsides soon and you don't dip into a depression.

(((big hugs))))

btw, I'm not suicidal

Yeah, I used to self-medicate with alcohol.
(If only it WORKED better!!!!)

Sigh. I hope you can keep from indulging in it.
The momentary escape -- if you're fortunate enough to have it affect you that way -- only makes things worse, in the long run.
Or at least that's how it (didn't) work for me.

I hope they CAN manage to squeeze you in. Sometime REALLY soon!!
And that you then get the help you need.

I'm so sorry that you're in the place you are right now.

(((((Hugs)))))

(((((Hugs)))))
Sorry you're going through this right now. Sending good thoughts your way...

So sorry you're feeling bad!! I'll hold you in my thoughts and hope this passes quickly! ((((HUGS))))

hope you come out the other side without too much of a crash. come back on here for a soft place to land. hugs.

Sending you hope and hugs. I hope you can can get in to see your doctor soon.

I stopped drinking about 4hours ago, I had some water and a bowl of soup. I'm sooo hyper. I'm so angry, my therapist called, thank God, told me about coping skills. I'm so tired but I cant sleep. Sorry to ramble. I don't have any friends left

why are you angry? do you have any xanax or klonopin that you can take or benadryl? try lying on the bed listening to soft music and doing some relaxation exercises in dim light, have a bath, have a cup of hot chocolate, burn some lavender oil, you have loads of friends here now. this too will pass. big fat hugs to you.

I know you need some meds to help. But here are some ideas...

Stay out of sunlight and keep the rooms your in dim

Eat turkey or take Raw honey, a couple spoonfuls, an hour before laying down ( they both have tryptophan to help induce sleep). Make sure the room is as dark as you can get it.

Lay down and close your eyes anyways. Even if you don't sleep. It may help rest your brain.

Play restful music, watch restful non stimulating tv or movies.

Stop drinking it just makes the episodes more intense.

I am thinking of you, hoping you can get a med adjustment or just the meds you need soon.

What irish said....right on the money.
And a big HUG to you. This will pass, you just need to hang on and know that you have friends here.
