The last few nights I have awakened in the middle of the night with a head full of thoughts. Some of it is jibberish, but much of it is dark. The night before last, I had to sit up and take some deep breaths to calm down. I was imagining that I was killing myself.
I've been relatively good about taking my meds although I miss a dose here or there. I've been doing very well for a long time, but I'm feeling pretty numb right now. I'm not crashing, but it's hard to explain. I am under a lot of stress at the moment and I will be moving this summer and returning to my old job. I'm happy about that, but I've got a house to sell and find another place to live, etc. There's plenty on my mind anyway, but this is very odd. I can't tell if it's just stress or if I'm beginning to go through an episode.

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.

It does sound like you're struggling with a bunch of stressors I would make an appt with your doc and let him/her know what you're going through... Some extra support would be a good thing right now and perhaps a med tweak?
Sounds like a lot is going on in your life.
As we all know, stress can be a huge trigger for an episode.
It might be wise to talk to your Pdoc, and get some extra help under your belt....get on top of the situation before it goes full blown
I don't plan episodes, I work on noticing signs and AVOIDING them : )
So, your post is excellent - you don't have to go all the way, we live and learn and do better.... wishing you comfort and relief ASAP!!!
Sometimes life just sucks.....................
I appreciate everyone here. I'm a typical foul weather flyer here I guess where I only stop by when I "need" something. I should probably be ashamed of myself for that. I'm sorry. :(
