Glad you are ok

@Shaz51 

Just cooking burgers for my parents and myself. I have my parents staying atm. 

Having quiet day. Tomorrow going to the pool.

@Shaz51 I've had a technology free weekend sort of, just been listening to music while doing Bible study and prayer, as well as my diamond painting. Here it is nearly finished-

@GezzaP oh that is the worst!

I used to have a friend with bipolar (I have bipolar 2) and she and I would talk about how much a decent sleep is underrated until you don't get it. Last night was the first full sleep I'd had since Thursday.

I find my antipsychotic medication helps me sleep, but I've been on another med that interacts with it so I haven't slept. Fortunately it's only short term. 
I hope your manic cycle is a short one and you get to have a decent nights' rest 🙏♥️

Well done for your day @ENKELI 😍

Thanks @ENKELI . I slept more last night and dozed off a few times today. Feeling tired. Yes my anti-psychotics sedate me and I’ve also been taking extra sleep meds. Slept nearly 6 hours last night. Hoping I sleep more tonight. I feel the mania is coming under control.

@GezzaP 6 hours, yay! 

Great to hear the mania is getting under control too. One foot in front of the other 👍

Awake early again today unfortunately. Used hypomanic energy to tidy up before cleaner comes to do a Spring clean.

Getting very hungry. Hanging out until 6am to have breakfast and take my meds. Will go for a short walk once it’s light even though it hurts my back because it is good for my back. Have already done my back and neck exercises.

Thinking I’ll have a spa bath today, wash and trim my hair.

Hope you are ok.
