Energy Confused Day

Today I've been energy confused. I've been sleeping all day, but I have energy when I wake up. I just don't want to get out of bed. I don't know if this is a mixed episode or what. I do know that my TOM is coming up, and I need to be as stable as possible. Me getting my period is a big deal... this is why I try and avoid it at most costs (except for $228, that's just too much money I don't have). Last time it wasn't too bad, so I'm hoping that I can slide by again and get a nice light one and have only slight mood swings. I take my last pill today, so anytime after Monday it can come. I don't know how long it's going to take, how long it's going to last or whatever, but that's just the way it is. I have my appointment with the gynecologist in a couple weeks. I hope I can get my Medicaid card before so the visit is covered... I know that if I have my card it will be covered. I put in my application last week, and the visit is in 3 weeks, so it gives them a month to process it. I hope I can get it so I don't have to pay... I don't really have the money to pay for it, but I know it's important and I have to get checked out. I also need to be back on the birth control that stops my period.
Okay, enough with the TMI (too much information). I'm feeling okay today.... I've been feeling pretty good for the time I've been awake. I just slept a lot, since I didn't fall asleep until late last night. I fell asleep around 1am, and slept until about 2:30pm. I woke up with energy at 11am, but it was raining and I couldn't go for my walk so I decided to lie back down and slept until 2:30. It was still raining, and I just lay in bed for a while. I never did get to go for my walk since it was raining all day. When it rains here, there is often lightning and thunder, and I don't want to get hit by lightning. We did have some lightning storms here throughout the day, so my worries were founded. I'm going to try and go to sleep early tonight. I don't have anything to do tomorrow (except make up for my walk that I missed today) that's major, so I don't have a reason to wake up early. I'm still going to try anyway. If nothing, I can just get more sleep. I need as much sleep as I can to avoid a mixed episode or hypomania. I know I'm going hypomanic when I don't sleep.
That's what makes me think that this is just a good mood phase... I've been sleeping a lot. If I was hypomanic, then I would have been awake all day and night. I was up late last night talking on the phone to a friend, but I chose to do that. I tried falling asleep after, and had trouble. As soon as I took my klonopin I fell asleep. If I was hypomanic or mixed, I would have had trouble falling asleep still after I took the pills. I'm just content to do whatever I want to do. I got in my exercise videos today... I'm doing a challenge on Spark People where each week is a different challenge, and this week is videos. I've done them all so far, and I just have one more day to go. We will see what next week's challenge is. I just checked... it's eating fruits and veggies. That one should be okay... I'm not great at getting all my veggies in, but all I need is some salad and I'm good to go. I'm trying to look at things as positively as I can.
Food today wasn't so good... I'm low on calories again. That's because I slept all day. I wasn't awake enough to be hungry. I still have time tonight to eat, so we will see if I can get some more calories in. I don't have much healthy food options, but I'm going to try and make the best of it that I can. The food I did eat wasn't that good either... I had some ramen and hot dogs. I'm way over on my sodium for the day. I thought that eating the hot dogs would raise my protein levels more, but they didn't that much. I need carbohydrates more, too. I think if I get hungry later I'm going to have a peanut butter sandwich. I wish I had some good jelly, but we are all out of containers I can open (lol). I can ask Geo to try, but I think I have before and it's a lost cause. I will see what tricks I can pull out of my book.
Stress today was low... I wanted to go for my walk, I really did, but I just couldn't bring myself to go in the rain. I felt bad about it, causing a bit of stress, but I tried not to beat myself up too much about it. I need to keep training for my 5k, and I haven't done any of it this week. So next week I'm going to have to do double time... one long walk tomorrow and one on Thursday. Now that's stressful to think about! But I can do it... I'm almost there! I just need 2 miles tomorrow and 2.5 on Thursday, and then I will be ready to do my next 5k!
