Hi,
Quickly...my BP was 207/125. Pulse was 114 ...I think...went to see cardio on Friday. She is great (thanks JP!). Everything keeps falling apart. I don't know how to keep it together. I loved my job but I had to quit due to one girl and my stupidity. I thought I could get her to like me. I'm a nice person. It hurts when someone doesn't like me. I am way beyond too sensitive. My BP went up and I had to quit.
Now my new cardio looked at my EKG and said she was concerned about my fast heartbeat. She listened to my neck and heard a murmur. I'm taking an echo stress test tomorrow and a carotid artery test next Friday. Who knows? I was freaked but I'm not anymore.
My fibro is hurting today. I was gonna take the dealing with CFIDS and fibro class online. Even paid for it. Got the book but didn't take the class. Trying to read book now. Said to pace myself but I did a lot today. Now I'm suffering. I told my family I was gonna clean the kitchen and make breakfast for dinner. In pain. So no cleaning, no dinner. Boys are mad. Husband is mad.
Bipolar is bad. To many mixed up emotions. Taking a new drug. I feel like it's working good. I sleep all night (a great feat for a bipolar person) and I wake early. I am really seeing my messy house now. I'm seeing the neglect of my home, my yard, my life. I have only my husband for support and he is mad cuz I'm a loser. Spend too much money, don't have a job, look like yucky, do no chores, in pain and sensitive and overly emotional. Moods change too quickly. My bipolar is hard to manage. I'm 48 yo and I keep thinking I'm still very young. I just can't get it together. Too much happened this last 2 months. Just wanna sleep till fall. Past band camp, past, school and birthdays, past heart tests, past every single truly yucky thing in my horrible life. Tired and alone. Alone and tired. No friends other than you guys and I feel bad telling you this stuff. Wanna cry but honestly have no tears left. Cliche but true.
Gonna take some Gabapentin and some Ativan and an aspirin and just sleep till my family is asleep. Then I may try to eat. Cya friends. No worries I will be fine tomorrow . It's called bipolar I, mixed states, ultra rapid cycling. Try lurking at the bipolar board sometimes. Those folks will amaze you. Like reading a suspenseful book. Seriously. Love y'all and good night.

I can' toffer much in the way of practical advice since I have PTSD and not bipolar--- tho anxiety attacks in PTSD can be confused for manic episodes, and I've had them with such high BP and heart rate I was ready to prepare for my own death, I was just that freaked out--- so I admire your ability to share what you're sharing here. Takes guts.
My FM made life hard, but then my 2011 accidnet just knocked everything to he** and I'm still crawling out of it---PTSD added---and I'm always wishing these days I could just sleep a few months, not see the dirt or dust or disappointments. My Hubby is *great* but it's taken 3 sessions of marital counseling over our 22 years of marriage---with our last round in late 2012---for him to really grasp that I wasn't *choosing* this pain and chaos. So dunno if that'd be an option, but really helped me.
Softest sympathies, good wishes for healing in body and mind and soul.

I hope that you will be okay and be able to get your BP under control.
Take care of yourself. I mean that....Gentle hugs to you.
