The 'great' thing about BP is all the twists and turns there are with it. I have gotten used to waking up each morning either without energy or waking up with enough energy to supply the whole northern hemisphere.

All this is the norm so I can deal with it. But this morning I woke up in a very 'it puts the lotion on it's skin' kind of mood. WTH?

I have the separate myself from my roomie and her dogs cuz the noise from either one of them makes me want to throw every shoe I own at them.

My doctor hasn't prescribed me any benzopines (SP?) so I don't have anything to calm me down.

If any of you have ever gotten in one of those moods how do you handle it?

Deep, deep breaths.

On a number of occasions, over the years, I have handled the burden of having that intense "out -of-sorts" feeling by verbalizing clearly and honestly to those nearby just exactly how bad I felt, especially if others seemed somehow to be the cause of how I was feeling. That never, ever improved anything. It's amazing how much worse feeling bad can get, after I've made myself a target for resentment.

Benzodiazepines, which I've always had availabe, were not helpful to me, personally. I have found that the best thing for me to do is to LEAVE. I've recently gotten re-adjusted to living alone. It now seems like what is best for me. This way, I have a great deal of peace that I would not otherwise have. Of course, I would encourage that you look at less extreme solutions. Not everyone needs, or wants, to be alone, as much as I am. For someone else, just having a room of your own with where you live can give you enough space to defuse yourself when everything seems to be a bother

I have actually been thinking that over the past few days. There are cases were I can see having someone around would be beneficial but I think overall I would function better if I could deal with problems without worrying about other people.

Personally, I could never live alone. Being alone triggers my anxiety attacks most of the time. Now if I know someone will be home with me in a few hours or so, I'm fine. I would suggest finding a new roomie. Preferrably someone you already know and trust. Or try to arrange your schedule to be perpously gone when your current roomie is home and visa versa.
Good luck

It gets tricky to figure out. In your case, you might lose the friendship of your "roomie," if you broke up the current arrangement. I happen to be in a long term, very committed relationship where my sig. other likes it that we each have our own apartment. Ultimately, relationships are probably what is most important in life. They come at a high price.

Having more carbon dioxide in your body slows it down. We yawn due to lack of oxygen. Please dont get offended by this. It just really helps calm me down.
