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.
I'm trying to be positive here but the negative thoughts are overcoming any "good" ones that I could be having at the moment. This is a regular night time occurrence for me.....it's almost like the elderly who get sun downers syndrome....just different.
My thoughts turn negative and I start finding it very difficult to find much that I actually like about myself. During the day I can be just fine, fairly happy, even bubbly at times, some anxiety but that is the norm for me....I actually find it very hard during the day to connect with myself though, my thoughts, feelings, emotions.
What gives here?? Does this even make any sense to anyone?

As time passes, that nerve may thicken and compressed due to the repeated return of the S.U.....and a Pattern emerges.
The solution is to use the Salve of Change on your poor, irritated Brain Nerve, offering it more Interesting things to replace the annoying S.U.....
Change what you Do in the evenings. Think outside the box. Change dinnertime. Change lighting. Change music, change Anything you think you can get away with to break the cycle, and then your Brain Nerve will begin to heal.
The only thing we can't fix is the time the sun sets....but only if you keep the curtains open!!

Otherwise, you should make yourself comfortable and relaxed before you try to sleep. I pull all the blinds, and turn on alot of lights. That way I don't know it is getting dark.
I hope you can figure out what works for you. MK
That's a crappy feeling -- having a hard time finding things about yourself that you like!!!
Do you think it may have anything to do with the meds you take? Like a daytime pill wearing off, or a night time pill kicking in?
Sounds icky!!! I hope you find a way to beat it!!!
Could be the klonopin wearing off but I doubt it leaves my body that fast, I take them regularly during the day. Not sure what other med it could be, but I do take the Abilify pretty early in the am and this does happen around the same time....maybe I'll take it a bit later in the am.
And yes it totally sucks! I've been listening to some music and Goings post cracked me up about the Carpal Tunnel Brain and the laughter helped some.
So at this Moment, I get frikkin' happy about 7AM, cycle down around 4PM, cycle back Up by 6:30 and stay Cranked until I force myself to bed around midnight. Then I get up by 5:00, feel like I need Eleventeen cups of imaginary coffee and stumble down the street pretending to be Okay (morning walk).
I thought I was just Bored! Seriously. I may be Funny, but I'm Serious.
