I'm glad the lithium helps you. I am eagerly looking forward to eventually having a combo of meds that makes me semi-regular. (No one is NORMAL!) I cannot sleep lately at all. Last night I got about the same as you, 1 to 6 with a few wake up times. I sing in my head. Last night I did the entire wizard of oz movie. Sometimes I do math or something to try to bore myself to sleep. My dog, whom I loved like a child, died this past Feb. 22nd, we had been together for 14 years. It was, and still is, devastating. We have a new family dog, and I love her, but my Ladybug had been with me through so much...
I wish I could help you have a better time.
Keep talking to me, I am really enjoying connecting to a person who I can relate to.
