hi, it sounds you need to talk to your doctor. Lack of sleep is both a symptom and trigger of a bipolar episode.

What meds are you on? Personally I use seroquel when things start to get out of hand.

I am sorry you are feeling like this. I think acuriousfish is right. Call your Doctor and get in to an appointment as soon as you can. I use seroquel to get my mood straight and for sleep. It works well.

I concur with Fish and Real- definitely call your doc. T, too, am back on Seroquel to help get things straight again.

Gentle hug..... Sleeplessness is the biggest thing that I struggle with and it's the pits

When you're feeling this overwhelmed though and if it's ongoing you really need to see your doctor..... You may ? need a med tweak....xo

I’m sorry you are having these symptoms. I know I can’t go through bp sleeplessness without a call to the doctor. It’s serious for me. Please keep us posted and let us know how you’re doing.

    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.
