I get up at 5:15 every morning, get to work by 6:15, get off work at 2:45 and then I am just plum exhausted by 4:00. I take my meds at 5:00 and this includes my sleeping meds. My husband made a point last night that I am always tired. I can't help it. It made me feel really guilty. I got out of bed last night and tried to do some work on the computer. My husband said that he wasn't trying to make me feel bad, he was just trying to make conversation. Well....I still felt guilty.
I don't know what's wrong with me. I shouldn't feel guilty for being tired all the time and I don't know why I am tired all the time. I don't know if this is because of my bipolar or what, but it's so frustrating being tired all the time.
There is so much I want to do, but never have enough energy to do it. Like, going for a walk when I get home from work so I can lose weight, I just have no energy for it.

I take a half-hour nap when I get home from work & before I interact with anyone. It gives me energy for the evening, & I can give them a little bit of me befoe crashing for good a few hrs later.

Take sleep meds a little later too.

Works for me. Don't know about you but you might try it.

That's a great idea! I am going to try both the nap and taking the pills later!
