I believe strongly that you are in a mixed state. Mixed is when you can't sleep but your body is tired. Your mind won't shut down and you have energy but you don't. It's like being manic and depressed at the same time. On the day you get to get your meds, please tell them you think you are mixed. You have too many symptoms not to be. Google it and see. Message me if ya got any questions. I'm in one right now. I hate it!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
