Does this sound manic?

Yep. You just need the mess, so u can nap, and some sleep... I'm sure your body will appreciate it. The hospital will take care of you at the very least.

I meant nap, not mess! Sorry typing on ipad

I meant mess. Good lord! Hope ur in now!

MEDS.
iPads. Don't ever get one.

moose I'm so glad you were able to get help.

I'm typing from the hospital. Same stuff. Groups. Food. Sleep. Except I'm exhausted. They have upped my zyprexa. I was hoping I'd get something else but they say "It works so well for you!" Blerg.

I'm still blogging, if you want to read. Bipolar Hallucidations

Dinner is soon. I'd rather go to bed, but I think there's maybe a group after dinner? I'm not sure. I know my friend is going to come up to see me, though!

Did they give you Haldol and Ativan as well? something for sleep? My doc said vistaril is also often given in inpatient situations. helps soooo much w sleep. Im sure they are doing what they fell is best for you, it is always spefic to the individual.

I am so so glad you are there and have a room, the first couple days are always the toughest. You WILL feel better in not time! Just take it seriously--you will learn from this. even if it happened last year. take your time.... and try not to worry about a thing.

..what a good friend...

I have seen this before many times. (in my house) Print what you posted and talk to a Dr.

I'm back!

No, no Haldol. Just Ativan. And I haven't had any today. I only went to two groups. I was too sleepy. I told the dr. I still think I can fly. I do. I just hear him telling me no I can't over and over again.

I told the dr. what I posted. I do have two printouts that I brought with me, though. There aren't printers on these computers.

Yes, he's a good friend.

Another friend is coming tomorrow afternoon, I hope. I haven't seen him since July last year!!!!!

I keep thinking how manic I have been and how did that happen? Was it really the sun? I keep thinking it was. The sun always does it this time of year. *Sigh*

Guess what they have here? LAUNDRY! I'm washing my clothes as I type! Yippee!!!

Don't get me wrong: I am much slowed down from when I came in here. I want to sleep all day, even though I have groups to go to.

I think that's the Zyprexa. Can't I get a med that doesn't do that?

now one of my friends is telling me I "wasn't this crazy before I went on drugs" and that I should "go off them". He says, "I am suspicious of behavioral meds. I think they do more harm than good most of the time. I think their only legitimate use is to turn down the noise so you can fix the real problems. Maybe not fix, but learn to manage them."

Uh huh.

Well this time last year I had to initially wear mesh underwear and a giant med robe, as u can't wear ur clothes they said! Took about two days, then I could at least wear pants. Yeah, mania is mania, sometimes it heightens in treatment-- Idk u sound about as manic as I was last year at exactly this time. U inpatient still, yes?

If he's not bi polar listen to ur doctors, period. For now at the very least.

And how grateful and awesome. Glad your back, I wish u the best of treatment!!!!!!

Yes I'm still inpatient.

No he's not bipolar in the least.

It just seems to be taking a long time this time, even though I was here six days last time and its only been four so far.

They keep asking me if I want to fly. I keep saying yes. They keep not discharging me. *Headbang* Off to dinner.... At least I had family and friends visit me today.
