72 yr. old female, bp2, hypomania with no depression. oct. 1-17 took 3 flights (15+ hours) to get to barcelona for 3 days before boarding a cruise ship for 12 days; (never felt i adjusted to new time zone going to barcelona) returning home, with missing the last of 3 flights back, waiting to see if we could get a later flight (with every possible stressor oozing from my mind and body) we eventually made it home after 21 hrs. of travel; it's now been almost 12 days since we've returned home and i cannot get over this horrible jet lag; i've researched compulsively about jet leg and having bipolar disorder, and most of my info. has been that it will take much longer to re-adjust, and that women, older women, and women with psychiatric disorders will take the longest to recover from jet lag; sleep interrupted, feel like i'm totally disoriented most of the time, and no matter how much rest and exercise and doing what i can to maintain regular lifestyle, isn't working. looking for input from anyone who can offer input, experience, or even hope that this will end.
