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.
My boss has me scheduled the entire weekend 2p-10:30p. I know I’m going to be exhausted come Monday and probably sleep till noon. I’m just wondering do you tire easily and do you sleep a lot after a lot of activity?
mom balls me lazy when I sleep in but my body must need the sleep. That’s what my therapist says

I find I sleep more after working a lot. Sometimes I can sleep 10-12 hours, but usually only get about 6-8 a night. I think our bodies tell us what we need if we can just listen to them. I don't think you are lazy.

This definitely happens to me. And I agree with your therapist. You have to listen to your body when it's telling you to rest or you could end up burning yourself out.

Last night after I got home at 10:30, I went straight to bed and slept till 12:30 this afternoon. I want to go to church tomorrow but I’m afraid I will over sleep.

Lack of good sleep caused me heart problems and many more. Plan to always get sleep or you end up as screwy as me.

I volunteered to work an extra four hours tonight. I won’t get home till 2 am. No complaints though. My boss really needed someone to cover the midnight shift and I could use the hours. Mom isn’t happy with me. She babies me so much. Like I’m made of glass. But I don’t typically work over my shift especially when I work the next day. Oh well

Your young and tough, you can handle it.

Yeah, like I said, it’s not typical of me to work the extra hours. Less than an hour to go :)

Hope you got some good sleep, 1 more to go and you have Free Time!!!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
