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.
Ive been taking Spravado for about two months now. Sometimes I'll get just a little tired and then sleep for like 14 to 24 hours on my days off. What's funny is that I'm just a little tired and could probably stay awake. I had this habit before I got on that medication. Maybe I'm just avoiding reality I guess. I've had some major changes in my life I almost feel direction less... And yes I have a psychologist and have talked about intrusive thoughts scaring me into thinking I could go homeless at any given time. Which isn't completely true because I live with my mom we get along. She does have major medical problems... Anyway I still go for walks around my neighborhood.

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.
I think this time of year we tend, for me for sure! to want to snuggle down under the covers...it's really hard for me to leave my bed in the am as I really have no purpose...the only thing that does get me up is my cat yelling at me for food!
I learned this acronom?sp in DBT, FEAR: false evidence appearing real...when I'm really depressed this helps me to not go to the deep end of life.
I'm sorry to read that your Mom has major medical problems...must be hard, but no doubt that she is grateful for you being at home <3 Wishing you both the best :)
I find I'm more lethargic in the winter months as well
Getting out for walks is great
I'm finding I'm struggling with them due to the cold
It's really nice that you're there for your mom
If it's not hurting to get extra rest at times it might be doing some good???
Big hug sweetie...xo
Maybe try a new hobby? I love jigsaw puzzles, reading, sewing and crochet :)
