It gets so hard @ENKELI. My night meds aren’t putting me to sleep at the moment. I’m only getting under four hours of sleep a night. I was excited to actually get 6 1/2 last night. It doesn’t feel any different but I guess it has given my body and mind a rest. Should have seen me go on an hours sleep! My body is tried but I’m not sleepy at all!

@Captain24 oh I am so sorry your night meds aren't working. I think we ate probably on the same one, I know that if I have a certain pain med it interacts with the night meds and I will be wide awake for 24 hours with no sign of tiredness. But boy do I crash and burn afterwards!

I hope you get a good sleep tonight, if okay with you I'll say a prayer for you.

Have you got plans for the weekend?

Hugs 🫂

@Captain24 no I don't have the euphoria that goes with it either. Are you BPD1 or BPD2? I am type 2 and while I have manic episodes where I do things to the extreme (ie shopping) I have never felt euphoric. I feel cheated lol! No, having periods where I talk like I've been sped up or doing a task and then jumping to the next and the next, it's not as extreme as type 1.

Im a type 2 as well @ENKELI. But I get the feeling of joy, empowerment, over confident, rapid talking and full of energy and nothing stops me. I didn’t get any of that this time. Which is sad just the on the go constantly and not sleeping. I ran out of things to do yesterday so I washed all the outside of the house down and washed off all the fences! It was a bit ridiculous! I was going to weed the garden but I wouldn’t have had time before my friend came.

Only this time I got the depressive thoughts with it.

I did sleep a little better last night, I got a few hours in and actually yawned before I went to bed so maybe your prayers helped! Thank you!

@Captain24 Glad to hear you got a good sleep. I am the opposite! I didn't sleep last night but it was more because of the pain killers interacting with the night meds. I went through the bad depressive thoughts and contemplating whether I needed to present at the hospital before I did something not good. Fortunately the depression passed and I got a few hours' sleep this morning but I am feeling rather ordinary now. I had some dental work done yesterday and my jaw is sore as is my top gum. My dentist had to cut into the gum to put a filling in one of my teeth and that is really tender. I am going to enjoy the air conditioning and finish my current diamond painting - it's 37 here in the Midvegas so remaining cool and indoors is the plan!

I hope the weather is better where you are.
