So I feel like I'm dieing. I know I'm not really but I'm miserable. I'm irritable blue sleepless very tire such a mixture of feelings and body reactions. I was on cloud nine the other day and now I'm not so high anymore I'm not all the way down but feeling some of the emotions. Was doing well. Untill overload and now I'm faltering. I hate faltering. I can't tell anyone bcz they all think I'm doing so well. *sigh* I don't even know

Sorry you are going through a rough time. That can be the cycle of BP hypomania then depression. Have you spoken to your psychiatrist or therapist? Is there something that you can do for yourself to practice self care like going out for a coffee etc. etc.

I feel for you. I'm inthat same boat. this dratted BP, with its highs that makes us feel like something special, and then knocks us straight off our feet.

Regardless of some people may think, the feelings of euphoria that the mania and hypomania offer really do not justify the lows that inevitably follow.
I think I'm going to get hold of my T. Popping benzo's to remain calm and not break into irrational tears.
I know I need to get through the day at work, and then have my boyfriend to look forward to. Just try keep busy - do things you enjoy - sitting in an office makes this hard, but I try. Then just hold thumbs that this episode passes in a hurry.
