Physical illness tends to always make Bipolar symptoms worse. Sucks but the truth. Do you have someone that can care for your 1 year old if your not able to safely care for your child? I remember when my daughter was one, I was constantly needing to monitor her to keep her safe.

You should notify your Pdoc about the change from zero to little sleep to a flip to sleeping excessively.

One thing I might add.. Sometimes its helpful to start one thread and add to it daily as needed , you will be able to see maybe a pattern or a trend in your mood shifts. Its also helpful as many members have done so and printed off the thread to physically show there Pdocs. Just a thought that might keep all your feelings and actions in one place.

Numerous members has/had a single thread they work on daily or as needed.

Hope your feeling better soon
