So if anyone has found anything other than meds that helps let me know. I want off this ride!!
Getting pretty worried about the upcoming time change. My sleep is so messed up I've been waking at 3:30am as it is.

These are all things that help me, in no particular order.
Have you tried kava tea? You can buy it in a lot of grocery stores under the "Yogi" brand. I use bulk coarse ground myself and either make an ava or just toss it back with water. It's very calming. I haven't tried the tea from the store. I will caution that you don't want to drive on it until you know if it's safe to, and IT CAN INTERACT WITH CERTAIN MEDICATIONS, but I've never had an issue.
Green tea with jasmine? I avoid caffeine when my moods are unstable and green tea has a minor amount of the stuff. I do a whole "ritual." I like to hold the mug and breathe in the steam as it steeps and try to hold it until I've fully consumed it. I also do not sweeten any kind of tea because I find most times that sugar ruins the steam.
Yoga?
Meditation?
Vigorous exercise?
Coloring? This sounds stupid until you do it. I started coloring in hospital and sometimes still do. There's science behind it too.
If you have a healthy relationship, intimacy but not necessarily sex?
