So I think I am neck deep in a mixed state,
I am so paranoid and anxious. Like right now I have all the shades drawn and I am afraid to go outside. I am also incredibly irritable.
I feel isolated like in a depression and I can't eat without feeling sick. This has been going on for awhile. Some days its.just racing thoughts and irritability. The next I.feel suicidal and defeated. I can't remember being happy but I know I have been. My mind is.so full I.can't remember important things.
I have an appointment with a psychologist on august 1st. I talked to the psych I'm charge of my care while my regular one is on maternity leave. It seems like the bad parts.of mania are being amplifyed and depression is pounding me all at once.
I am trying.to.cope but I am alone and people aren't calling me back. I am watching.cartoons and trying to stay calm.

I hope you get in to see your doc soon, I usually just have to ride them out.
and truth be told
THEY AIN'T NO PARTY !
I feel for you.
My advice is to stay as calm as you can.
Stay away from known triggers, keep the noise level down in your house.
Use warm showers or baths to ease the muscle tension ....try to get a little walk in once in a awhile.
If you have some Benzo's , like Zanax or Klonopin , use them .
Benadryl can sometimes cause the fidgity feeling to go away.
Good luck
All super helpful ideas... I know it will pass but its so hard to really believe it in the moment. I took my klonopin and when that didn't work I started to panic. It's only now that I realise I just took it like 20 minutes ago...lol.. my time perception is all off. Starting to feel a little.calmer. I.really appreciate the support
I already cleaned everything... what to do with myself?
Hugs

Then I pulled out the bristles, boiled it, and made it into a bracelet :b
