I met with my therapist today and things aren't going so great. My depression has gone very dark and at times I have Mania along with it which makes it even harder to want to stay alive. We have put in a message to my Dr and will be meeting with him tomorrow.

I just can't take it anymore the swings of the mood and the way that I feel.

I'm so sorry. You need to do what you have to do to get decent sleep. Let us know what the doctor says, and call back persistently if you hear nothing. Are there other sleep meds you can take that would be safe for you? The first time I had to go IP was for not sleeping 3 days straight, where it got unsafe for me to drive a car, even just backing up from my apartment parking lot was horrible with so little sleep. I remember I nearly hit a car then because of it. That's when I called my therapist (I was at university at the time, using the free therapist visits I had) and asked her to connect me to a psychiatrist or someone who could get me sleeping again, and that resulted in having to go IP.

So far today I feel ok, not the best but have a plan in action and My Pdoc gave me a very long hug today told me a looked like a wet kitten from all my crying, he is really a great person.

Yes! Having a "plan in action" can help so much!
I hope the med helps right away.

We are here for you.

Hopefully tonight you will get some much needed sleep. Sleep is such a huge part of staying upright with bipolar. Usually having a plan helps keep things on a better level. When I get off course just knowing I can go Ip if I need has actually kept me out of there numerous times

I got a chuckle out of the fabric softener.
