Still up - staying late at work (my reasoning being that I wouldn't be sleeping anyway if I was home) was a mistake.
I see my therapist today - she's going to want one of us to touch base with pdoc |

Will it happen ?? I seriously doubt it , but one can wish __________________ Helping others gets me out of my own head ~ |

Well I slept, I don't know for how long but I did get some sleep last night. I know cause a woman was driving a boat with a paralyzed man in it. I can't remember very clearly cause I had to jump up and get the litter box cleaned out as it is garbage day. Usually I take it out the night before but yesterday I was so tired I changed back into my pjs early. So no laying about this morning reflecting on the werid dreams.

Ever since I've quit Abilify I wake up briefly at 12 am then at 2 am before falling back to sleep. This happens with or without Thorazine, I hope to regain my sleep before I took Abilify (which is notorious for insomnia)

Looks like things aren't better yet. I've been sleeping a total of 4 hours in two 2 hour shifts. I'm so tired.

I did talk with T about some strategies for improving sleep but her and pdoc are pretty insistent that ECT will bring me out of my manic episode. I'm going to have one ECT tomorrow and be done with it (I hope). I hope all goes well this time (it's always an ordeal - starting with the fact that it's nearly impossible to start an IV on me.

Ugh I tossed and turned almost all night. It was after 7am when I fell asleep for about 4 hours. No dreams!

I got a total of 5 hours: 3.5 hours in one stretch and 1.5 in the second shift. The two shifts were about 4 hours apart.
