this is becoming a rat race i am switching from mild depression and hypomanic episodes a couple times a week i crash on certain daysm and sleep then i feel great turn out a massive amount of crafts



my craftwork change and i start something new too often i spend a small fortune on craft supplies then start something else very inconsistant 



this week i may do needlepoint next i am research and try wood transfers this night work ihas turned me intio a night person and i get less sleep because of it which triggers hypomania



i really do not know what to do about my appetite is suffering i eat 1 meal a day and not a full meal meat or veg or potatoes i am trying and doc has no new suggestions this is really bothering me



my friends and my brother say there is no problem sleeping until late we do not work or have to do anything we cannot do in the afternoon so do not worry about it i just do not know

Have you talked to your psychiatrist? If you are cycling so bad it’s a good idea to see him

Products like Boost or Ensure are meal supplements that are really healthy.... There are people who live on just these products that can't swallow and need tube feeding..... You could drink a couple of these a day along with your meal and you can get them with extra calories if you need them

I tend to lose my appetite when mania is hovering. I agree with Sun, try ensure. Try to make a smoothie if you can.

    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.
