Oh, I have adhd since I was a child... before I can remember in all honesty. I never had an issue sleeping on it. I normally slept well until middle/high school, where I would go on no sleep binges. I have always loved the quiet the night brings. I would stay up all night painting or reading, then go to school (graduated 9th in my class) and I was a 4 sport varsity letterman who went on to play in college and I RARELY EVER FELT TIRED!! It was amazing... my family and I just figured it was bc I was so busy and had a lot on my plate that my adhd meds weren't overcoming the rapid thoughts... I was always a worrier and overachiever. I'm hindsight, that was a prolonged manic phase.

I'm actually at the doc right now. I'm hopefully going to get some anxiety meds. My heart rate is 130... I'm sure my sleeping issues lately is anxiety related (fingers crossed) as I have hard time accepting a bipolar diagnosis.

Thank you guys so much for your encouraging words and advice.
