Something's wrong. I'm struggling to sleep because my mind and body are wide awake even at 2am. Getting 5-ish hours instead of my usual 9-10. On the phone today mom said I was talking fast and making her worried. Took some klonopin and that calmed me down for a while. But I'm still jittery and unfocused.

I'm planning on throwing everything at this. Clonazepam and melatonin, plus relaxing techniques. The last thing on earth I need is some mania.

I'm just posting because I can use some encouragement. It's hard to force myself to sleep when I don't want to.

That sounds like a good plan. Lack of sleep is a bummer and can cause all types of problems. I'm here to support and encourage you. I'm also here if you need to talk. If it gets too bad will you call your pdoc? Best wishes

My mood is changing and now I feel like a horrible worthless person who should stop existing. So much for euphoria. My moods are all over the map.

I hope you've had a better night than you'd anticipated.
I also hope things stabilize soon.
