Bad SI tonight. Really bad. Pissed off as it only means I will be stuck in here longer. Maybe I should just stop telling the staff here then I can go home. Please tomorrow be a better day, or night really as that is when I spiral down. F****** PTSD. Bipolar seems to be under control, gotta be a plus I guess.

I am so sorry.
Continue to be honest with the staff. They are there to help you maybe you could work on your issues that bring on your PTSD while you are there....maybe you already are doing that. Maybe that will be the only way you can break free of SI?
Sorry it is so bad for you.

Home today, husband and I went out and drank and gambled, this always makes me depressed I drank too much to take my meds and was still awake at 2am. I should know better. This was self inflicted and I'm paying the price today. I had been doing good so good to

Bought some new software as early Christmas gifts. Spent most of today trying to figure out how to make it work. Tired and cold but doing alright otherwise. Need to plan out meals for the month. Ugh.

Feeling good. I rarely feel good at this time of the day when my meds start to fade. Still though, very talkative. I can see people's eye's start to fade as they nod and nod and I talk and talk. But that's just the way it is sometimes. Pffft.

Feeling more manic than usual today with a side of distant despair. Invincible, defiant, free. Racing, spinning, tumbling thoughts. I don't need meds anyway.

Thanks Bizi.

The staff have been helping me with PTSD issues and I am making progress. Last night I just hit a major trigger. I almost ran away from the hospital but instead told staff and talked for a long time, was given meds then watched. It did help to talk. I am just frustrated as I want to be stable enough to go home but clearly am not. I guess this last month in here I have processed a lot of trauma so progress has been made. It is just painful slow.

Yup, still agitated and getting practically 0 sleep. Definitely dysphoric mania.

I did get a little relief from coloring with my grandma using some of her books... but the coloring only temporarily distracted me. Oh well. I guess it's better than nothing.

Wide awake at 3 am. I took a shower and did some cleaning. I have a song stuck in my head aggressively on repeat. I'm ready to do my shopping but no stores are open yet.

I'm in Australia and as long as my Pdoc thinks I need to be IP I am allowed to stay. My insurance pays for it all. Got lucky being Australian in this case.

That must be really tough. Do you have any PRN's that will knock you out? Hope you find some sleep and peace really soon.

So sick. Went to urgent care today. I had to leave work early, especially since my job requires a lot of talking, and I lost my voice. Not cool.

Plenty worried, the new doc didn't renew my scrip for Ambien which I've been on for almost three years. I take two 10mg pills a night....down to zero. My meds work as they are and for me sleep is the foundation of my stability....not now, not at Christmas time when I have to mingle. Last night I had one, tonight one then zero. I take Ambien, Benadryl and melatonin to get me to sleep. For as long as I can remember I have trouble sleeping. This med cocktail is the first one I've had without major side effects and is still effective. Already the noise in my head. Augh.

Thanks, I'm going to be on a lot of meds now after going to the urgent care place. I'm going to the pharmacy today, so that's a step. The doctor was good...he checked my psych meds for interactions, and I'm clear, so at least that won't be an issue.

It has been ages since I have come here to the forum. But I really need support. I am totally floundering in dark emotions. Typical this time of year. Often been in hospital hereabouts or in deep trouble of mixed episode. Have lost old supports. Most of them. In a bad place. Can't do my art. Can't even write. Reading is tricky. Exercise hard to do. Need to shower. House a mess. Very alone though husband tries to be kind and is a great help. But my head is just a sad business. Don't know what to do with it. Took all medicine e I can. Why does the time of year crack my stability, my JOY?
