- Very tired but I don't feel like sleeping or just when I think I might sleep I get a burst of energy which makes me stop feeling tired and it goes away and I start doing stuff for a while and then it winds down but I still don't feel like sleeping.
- Mild worsening paranoia that comes and goes
- people in my head showing me stuff like always
- anxiety for no reason that also comes and goes
- Irritability but don't blow up like when i've been manic
- Everything feels like its in waves of depression and hypomania
I mostly want to know if anyone has experienced this and at what point you guys think I should get emergency help if that's even possible for loss of sleep and my symptoms at like a hospital since I can't see my psychiatrist on short notice, the minimum is a month. If I am overreacting I give everyone permission to be blunt please.
Thanks everyone  |
Oh dear, this is not good sign as you been without sleep for 3-4 days, but unintentionally of course.
1. Exactly the Same
2. It happened to me lately. But I can't really comment on this since I always doze off periodically in bus ride back to home.
3. Exactly that I experienced. It's mid and just goes away briefly.
4. Not sure.
5. I experience frequent irritability in mixed episodes, the only difference is, I have it under control in real life as it takes a lot to piss me off. On the other hand, I totally lose control and blow up when I am playing with other people in a game.
6. Feels like you're being churned about in a mixed episode.
If you are just experiencing this without any intense thoughts on self-harm, or throwing things at someone, I highly doubt you need an emergency room.
You are not overreacting, but you really need to seek immediate assistance regarding your lack of sleep because it "may" trigger a chain reaction.
Anxiety? Racing thoughts?
I am not an "official" bipolar disorder diagnosed, but I am currently experiencing 90% of what you are going through right now, except for the 3-4 days w/o sleep. I do sleep a min of 5 hrs :/
Just my view about it.
