have crashed badly

Sorry to hear that you are not doing the best.  How did you go at the  therapist? 

You have done well just to acomplish what you have today.  I know somedays I just can't do anything - just getting out of bed can be a struggle.

Not having any sleep, I guess is not helping things for you at the moment.  Do you have any more tricks up your sleave to help you sleep?

I tend to keep trying everything when I get to the stage of not being able to sleep. 

I like to try warm milk with honey, a long bath,  gentle music  and even a long walk or some excercise.  All these things sound  much simpler to do when I   am not cylcling .  Maybe even some eucalyptus in the air at night if you have troubles breathing.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

hi guys, am not well and am in a dark place.

have been aviodance coping badly.   just not functioning or caring much about myself.

yeah i have georgia's anniversary coming up, the dreaded xmas period, am so exhausted and depleted at the moment. still am rapid cycling in a brutal fashion. can't catch a break. am struggling to even eat at this time. even posting on the forums is very taxing-so i am sorry if i am not around as much, am trying though. my body is aching my mind is chaotic and my thoughts are all over the shop. hoping everyone is doing well. here for you. luv 2 ya all. jamie

 

me too my friend, thank you.

how are you doin'? jamie

I'm not too bad at the moment, still a little manic at the moment with not much sleep - just waiting for the crash and hoping that it doesn't happen. But starting to want sleep.

How are you feeling this morning, new day and all ;)

i am not well. in the process of writing an incomplete letter to my shrink, should finish it today. i have given up fighting. i have given in. i am at risk. jamie

thank you my friend. jamie

Fill me in one your day. Sometimes it is good to get it off your chest.

I am glad to hear that you are taking it one step at a time and perservering on. Time to turn the music up (pity it is night time- not sure if it is for you) and take a few deep breaths. Maybe even sing along, I dare not do that bit too loudly or I will have someone complain about me being tone deaf :)

Do you read at all? I did read but lack of time has got in the way. But sometimes this helps me pass the time. When my anger takes hold, I just want time to hurry up and get it over with.

I was thinking I was having a bad day. But I feel bad complaining now knowing that you are not having such a great day.

How many years bad luck do you think I get for breaking a mirror? Well actually did that yesterday, admist a joyus bout of mania when things were not going my way and I was stressing a little too much. Trying to do too many things at once and not paying attention to what I was doing.

Don't you just love it when people say "just calm down" as if I can just turn it off and everything will be normal again.

I started heading for the bad side of things, but have managed to get myself undercontrol (or I think so anyway).

Hope you have a good night and a better day tomorrow.

Happy to see your post this morning! Some nights seem sooo ... loooong. ((hugs))

one way to find out. let us know how you went. here for you. jamie.

Sending lots of hugs. This time of year is such a struggle. Take special care of yourself.
