Still can't focus, I've been going on for almost a week like this. Barely any sleep, thoughts racing, so much creativity, eating too much.
I can sit still now, at least. Not sure what I'm gonna do if this lasts much longer.

I suggest you talk to your dic about it. It sounds like your meds might need to be adjusted.

He told me yesterday through my T that I needed to take hald a dose of zyprexa. Wanna know what that did for me? Made me pass out last night so at least I got some sleep. But otherwise, not much.

Well, sleep is a start anyway. I think sleep helps the mind calm down a bit. I think that's why when in mania, you can't sleep. And then it actually makes it worse. That's a theory I have.
One step at a time, you know?

I can't tell if I'm in hypo, or full blown mania, or what. soon as I'm done my calc class today, I'm just gonna take another half a dose of zyprexa and see if that helps, at least to make me sleep.

Hopefully as you get more sleep you'll feel better. Do you try to stay on a schedule? Having a set sleep schedule and sticking to it can help a lot. Routines are important for us folks with bipolar. Which is funny since we can be so spontaneous.

I know everyone's body is different. Before my onset I could go to bed at 11 pm and wake up at 6 am. However after my onset I have to be in bed by 9-9:30. I went to bed at 11pm a few nights ago and the next morning it felt like I was in a wreck. Plus I was so irritable.
