I hate this time of night. No matter how tired I am, I have a hard time sleeping and settling down.
I love the quiet but that's when there are no noises to calm the sound of my thoughts running here, there, and everywhere. My husband always asks when I'm going to bed.........how can you tell someone that doesn't really understand that you'd love to be able to, but can't?? Then I'm exhausted in the morning after I get up to get my son off to school and fall back into sleep. Half my day off is gone when I finally do get up........[sigh]. Sometimes there is just no winning from this disorder. I've tried everything to make me drowsy, but I always snap out of it when my brain just keeps going. Then I get antsy and can't sit still. Even here at the computer, I'm fidgeting and my legs are moving.........bouncing up and down. And no meds to help............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am having this right now too and it is 210am
 Us Bipolars get this sometimes, this time it really isn't the typical racing thoughts, like a few years ago, I slept 2 hours per nite for 8 months then crashed, etc. Good luck and hopefully a good nite  "me" (((((((((((((((((((((( hugs to you ))))))))))))))))) In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend SOLON __________________

Hi DE.........good morning!!! lol.
It's 1:14am here and unfortunately this happens to me every night. Let's see, last night I finally was able to go about 3am, even then once I was laying down it took awhile. Hmmmm, thought I saw you post you were going to sleep?? Gosh, this stinks. Mary Alice

Hope it doesn't go non stop for 8 months, I mean before that I use to get lousy sleep but not that bad, 2hrs per nite, whew, and I went to college, raised a kid and houswife, wish I had that energy again, ha!ha! I must confess it was induced with stimulants too besides some mild mania, ha!ha!
Now I only use what my pdoc has me on  I hope you get some rest, talk again soon we need a little sleepy icon here too, ha!ha! "me" In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend SOLON __________________

It's been going on for quite a few months now, unfortunately. I'm not that far from your age, DE, I'm sitting at 42 here.
I wish I had the energy and time to go back to college and finish my degree, but I don't. Between work, and home, there is no extra time. My son and I even listen to those ocean/wind/bird songs that you get - works for him, but not me.......lol. Oh well, it's 1:25am now - better get my husband's coffee ready and at least attempt some rest (notice the word "rest", not "sleep"). Night all........

How many Bipolars does it take to start a thread at 2:30 in the morning? The good thing is that at least we have each other to talk to. I went into one of my world famous bouts of insomnia about three days ago, and the latest I've been able to sleep has been 3am. Oh well, I can spend some quality time with my design work.
I know, I'll design a "Bipolar Resting Room"! Let's see, over here to the left we have the Mary Alice wing.... Greg  "Beauty is truth, truth is beauty - that is all you know on earth, and all you need to know" |

Sept, never stated we were "special" and being Bipolar is not a thing to take as a joke
It sucks, and ALL that goes with it It is none of our choosing either In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend SOLON __________________

I think people were just trying to make others feel like they weren't alone. I dont think they were making fun of being bipolar. I took it as a couple of people having an inside joke. I hate seeing people getting upset on this chat. We all need support. "you only have one chance to make a first impression" __________________ "you only have one chance to make a first impression" |

Of course I was joking, Hun!
 I'm sorry if I upset you! Forgive me? I guess my sarcastic humor doesn't always go over well, eh?

Nah, I was first hurt, but got over it. . . I possess dark humour sometimes too, and I guess sarcastic too, kind of gets me through tough times
I am sure you do, but just wanted Bipolar disorder as well as other disorders to be better understood, we all have some kind of disorder, some just don't want to accept it, none of us like that part Take care now, DE BTW Did that little pool finally tempt you during the hot day(s) you were having? I liked the pic(s) they were cute In giving advice seek to help, not please your friend SOLON __________________

((((Mary Alice))))
I know what you mean... my sleeping pills don't help any more so I lay in bed at night rocking myself as the thoughts go from one thing to the next and none of it makes any sense ... if it did it wouldn't be half bad, but it don't. You're up half the night and then sleep half the day away and now the sleep schedual is totally a mess... Some days my son comes home from work at 6:15 in the evening and I am still soundly sleeping and he wakes me up. Somebody. |

{{{{{{{{Somebody}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
I always seem to have a million thoughts racing at full speed thru my head and they're all going in different directions - and I'm trying to catch them....and when I'm upset it is even worse, because then I have anger mixed in with the thoughts. Tonight at work I had two people really make me angry with them - one my supervisor and the other, the asst. hourly manager. I don't talk garbage about other people, esp. not another manager, and he was yaking about me tonight in front of the employees (who were all standing around not working btw) because he covered for me while I went to my son's Spring concert at school. It's not like he didn't get paid for it - I'm salary, he's not. So since he didn't cut people and save some labor (we were so quiet tonight), my supervisor comes in later and chews me out for the high labor %..........excuse me????????? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I will not accept blame for someone else's mistakes, I have my own to deal with.
