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.
Racing and intrusive thoughts can sometime plague me something fierce !
I try to take a warm shower, with nice smelling bath products.
I take a couple of Xanax and sometimes a Benadryl also.
Snuggle into my bed and do breathing relaxing techniques ...each time my mind starts to wander away, I pull my thoughts back in.
This helps me
Hope you can use some of these ideas
HUGS !
No PRN meds that might help?
Good luck.
As an insomniac, I feel your pain.
I hope you fall asleep soon!!
1) have your home in darkness
2) turn on light soft music, no tv
3) do some visualizations where you imagine yourself going to sleep
4) turn of the ringer to the telephone, no distraction
5) warm bath
6) cup of chamomile tea or warm milk
Hope this helps!
