Wtf am I doing? I'm not dumb. I'm lucid still. Am I losing insight in this mixed episode? Have pdoc appt on Monday and flying home tomorrow, thankfully.
Any comments appreciated. Tough love? Water boarding? Bipolar sucks. I'm not trying to be a victim. I am playing with fire but cannot logically do things right atm. I've been skipping my benzo for a long time but do take 1-2 daily, but not the four I'm supposed to take. What's wrong with me? This has been a trend for awhile.

Oh dear, this has to feel yucky!
Is a part of you reluctant to give in to the effects of the complete regimen?
Do you feel you need to remain vigilant for some reason?
I do this sort of thing when I am not feeling comfortable in "new/different" surroundings. I cut back meds, don't sleep -- on purpose, because I am guarding/hypervigilant. I feel a threat on some level from PTSD.
is it possible you are feeling something similar?
