Finally slept 6 hours

I finally slept 6 hours and to my knowledge was not awae at all during that time. Of course I desperately want to go back to sleep and instead leave for therapy in 5 minutes. But maybe I can nap later.

It probably means nothing. I usually will hit a wall where I get some sleep after mania goes on long enough and then it goes back to how it has been. It's happened a couple of other times in this mania We'll see.

But for now I'm just so happy that my body got some real rest.

6 hours is good.

envy you

Count your blessings.

I believe that I was simply sharing my blessings and I'm sorry if that somehow came across in any other way to you. I am in a scary place, I have make it another week to see my psychiatrist, I was on my way to a therapy appointment to ensure that I could stay out of the hospital at least a few more days while trying to make it a week, I'm completely and utterly exhausted and I am very well aware after months of minimal sleep that this one night was a HUGE blessing. I was happy which is why I chose to share it here. I have to say that I now am sorry that I did because the last thing I really need it to be told to count my blessings as if I am complaining in some offensive way.

I sincerely apologize for however I sounded that made it necessary to point that out to me.

I know. I hope you make it there soon. I think it's been 5 months since I got that much sleep in one night. I was desperate for it. I already know it's not going to repeat; the mania is different today. But one night helps. I've been in a bad place so long it doesn't seem like the end will come (although I know it always does) and that 6 hours was a little connection to the normalcy that should come again once we figure out this medication issue.

I for one am glad you shared your happiness with us,, I too know what crappy sleep is like, and I know you just wanted to express the relief of a good night... I pray you get more sleep and that you find peace...

That's awesome you got some rest.

I'm glad your getting some rest!

It's gone tonight but one night was good. Usually if mania lasts long enough I get one good night every month or 6 weeks. I got I think 6 or 8 hours of sleep just about 2 months ago one night. But tonight I'm wide awake and trying to settle without much luck. I went to walmart and it was too much stimulation. But I got my errands done, spent the last of my $ and can have a quiet day tomorrow except for helping move some heavy downed branches outside my house to the brush pile.

That's great you got six hours!
