So Exhausted


I'm so exhausted! The psychiatrist said this can be expected after being on a long mixed mania with depression episode of the bipolar I. I have to see him again in 2 1/2 weeks. He warned me NOT to change the dosages of the medication because that could flip me into a mania again. I really don't like feeling this exhausted. It's hard to keep from falling a sleep. He said go ahead and sleep because my body needs its,but I can't do that 24/7.

I'm worried about Alice because she fell on the ice on her bad knee. When I called they had just headed out for ER.  She couldn't bear any weight on the leg at all. I hope she did not dislocate something.

Finally no doctor or therapy appointment for tomorrow!  That really runs into the money @ $35.00 a whack.
Well I need to check out my banking account so I'll sign off for now.

Wanda,
I love the graphic...I feel like that sometimes; today, in fact!
Goodness, I hope ALice is okay...and you my dear, if you need to sleep until you can't sleep anymore; your body is telling you to if you are tired!

I think your psychiatrist is right-- after any episode of any illness people often feel tired. Emotions take a lot out of us, you know? Allow yourself to rest, at least for some time.

I hope Alice is okay! She and you are in my thoughts.

Wishing you well,
NOS

Not only your body needs the rest, your barin needs too. Sleep is a good thing, just take it. Sleep, think, relax, sleep again. Take this time, I really think it is necessary.
