I can't sleep... I've been trying on and off and I have to be up in 5.5 hours. I am tired, just not tired enough. The day is going to suck monkey butt. I have an appointment at 9 but my ride will be here at 8. Then I have to go to housing with my new roommate and sign papers at 3.
So is anyone around to chat?

Hi kitten. Looks like everyone else got decent sleep. I was also up very late last night watching fireworks. I slept past my alarm and was late to work again. I'm also sick so the combination sucks. I hope you'll have a better day today :)

Well I am not a Doctor but from what you have said about not sleeping for so long makes me believe you are manic. Lack of sleep is a huge indicator of Mania. Can you get assessed for mania or and talk to your psychiatrist? Being up that long really takes a toll on a person. Mania can be fun but when it spirals out of control. It is always good to get your mania down to where you are stable. Yes Mania can be fun but bad things happen in a full blown episode. I really hope you take my advice I really enjoy helping others with symptoms

How does that make me seem manic? I just had a hard time sleeping last night....

I am terribly sorry I mis read your post. You are right not sleeping one night does not indicate Mania

Hey kitten!! How is the sleep going? I hope you're settling down and feeling relaxed. There's always Benadryl to make you snoozy. Or a movie that is mellow but keeps your interest. You'll get sleepy as it goes along. I do hope you can sleep. Since I went on this Seroquel I've been able to sleep only 4=5 hours. It sucks. Good luck to you, And BRAVO for being able to get on this godawful new DS!!
