Yes, that is true BP situation.  The fact that you are not sleeping is making you feel worse.  Once you can get some good rest and probably a med to balance the highs and lows you will feel alot better.  But like I said, if you are put on medication and the first one does not work, do not give up!  Keep trying and hopefully soon you will find a peaceful place that your mind and body can reside nicely together.

Please do let me know, I am very concerned for you.  i was in a bad place mentally just a week ago and I already feel much better.  The world has color again and stress is being processed and handled properly by my mind.  It is a nice feeling, I hope it lasts!

Talk to you tomorrow...........take care.

I have the opposite problem, Mackem. I can be fine for most of the day and then depression wallops me. I start crying for no reason and suddenly am exhausted and completely lifeless. So I definitely can relate. I'm glad you're feeling better today.

I find this all so confusing!

Maybe I have mixed cycling then? Rapid thoughts with depression?  

Im sure it wasnt this way before.  It was one or the other.  I know that in the past I've just highs too but when ive had those theyve been pretty much constant and no real mixed bag! Ive never known myself to switch from normal(ish) to depressed with rapid thoughts to exhausted etc etc.  When ive had my highs they havent been overly euphoric (then again how would I know!!?)When ive had my lows theyve been just lows by themselves.  This time its been quite different and alot more intense!  All over the place if Im honest.  The difference this time is that there have been times in the past 6 weeks where ive actually 'felt insane'! Any thoughts guys??

God knows this must be BP??! if the pdoc doesnt say it isnt BP tomorrow then god knows what Ill do! Ill probably scream and call them a liar!!

Rapid cycling is the most awful in my opinion and that is exactly what that sounds like.  Please just hang on, maybe it is not BP but it is definitely something out of balance.  Remember your appointment is tomorrow and there is light at the end of the tunnel and all this "bad" will not go away over night, you will have to be patient but you will get there.  Really, you will.  And yes there are times that you actually feel "normal" but for me those times were very short lived as I am BP1 with rapid cycling and mixed episodes, which seem the same to me.

In your corner,

Ive no idea what else it could be if it isnt BP!!  Sometimes I dont know what im feeling as im so confused! I find it difficult looking back to remember as well as it all seems to roll into one experience witha mix of emotions/experiences!! ???

I know sweetie, it is so hard when you have what I call "brain fog" when it takes too much effort to think or relate or even remember.  Just recently I went and had a complete physical with all the blood work because I was just sure there was a physical problem and no way was I BP. Even flushed all my meds down the toliet.  Guess what?  Everything came out fine, normal, healthy as a horse.  That is when I finally accepted and started living again because it is not the end of the world, it just feels like it sometimes.  I do know that there are physical problems that can have the same symptons as BP so do not presume anything until you find out.  I know it is maddening, truly I do.
