Ok a few things. First how do you deal with the hypo/manic days? I'm starting to feel the lack of sleep I've been getting almost 2-3 hours some days I got up to 4 but it's not that it's that I want to really stay up. Well I will admit some nights I really DON'T want to sleep because I want to get things done. Other times its that I know I should be tired but my mind is turned on and I can't sleep. Even laying in bed my eyes are open and I'm tossing and turning because there's just so much running through my head a long with my energy. So onto question 2. What medications would you say would be the best to ask about? I was on Carbamazepine er but I was getting head aches and stomach aches and I just felt like the pills were making me worse and lately started wondering if the doctor was just messing with me giving me placebos or giving me a different medication to see how I'd react to them. Question 3 one very close friend seems to not want to accept the fact that I am the way I am or thinks that I'll magically get better I don't know but rolls their eyes or argues when I explain things. For example hearing two people argue between themselves then start laying in on you (both of them) at the same time then start telling you that you can just not go if you're going to be acting like a child. I was starting to get the tight chest panic thing once they started arguing and right once that comment was said it set me into full rage and then get told that I'm just acting like a child and throwing a temper tantrum. And question 4 how do you keep up with daily activities and just saving money instead of spending it? I can't seem to hold onto money or I think I cleaned up really well and everything is a mess again. I'm just stressing out with trying to hold it all together and not show any weakness to family or friends.
