so tired

I slept almost all day I slept all night. I'm still so tired. I'm not happy right now. I've been crying a lot over nothing of course. I'm waiting for this to end I need more energy. I have to work I have to take care of my son. I have so much stuff to do. How am I supposed to get anything accomplished if if I can barely wake up and get out of bed. I'd much rather go back to being manic. At least I have the energy to do everything I need to get done.

I was like this in April, about 1.5 years ago. I slept all day but was still tired. My bones and joints ached. Yet all the tests came up normal. It was a severe depression. And if you're experiencing this, you need a meds change or addition, pronto! Tell the p-doc the symptoms. If you can't get a new prescrip, try to find another doc, even MD or psych nurse who will listen.

Lamictal alone is not going to help until you're up to 200 or more mg.

The sad thing is I go through this every so often. Then I drink coffee just to be able to function. Its nothing new I cycle like this all the time. Then it will be the opposite I won't need much sleep at all. Maybe I shld call again. Hour did call in a script for the anxiety meds. I knw how hard its going to be at work right now. I'm glad they let me hide sometimes. Glad they are so understanding

How are you holding up bridgie?

I know what you mean about the coffee. I feel like a total addict waiting for it to be late enough to start up the kettle w/out waking anyone...not that I haven't already done that! It does get me through the insomnia exhaustion. I don't have caffeine from about 2pm onward and I stop coffee at about 10-11 each morning. So just tea. And still I wake up so early ready to go. Then I hit a dip and needs me my coffee.

My boss is understanding too. I figure they wonder about me, but I'm too afraid to tell them about my condition. Perhaps someday soon. But then, they're going on a long trip and if I tell them, maybe they won't trust me to do everything while they're gone.
