4 HOURS A NIGHT IS ***NOT*** ACCEPTABLE. Yes I know I just yelled at you, you totally deserve it. Quit screwing around with my chemistry and SLEEP, ALREADY.

Dear Body/Brain, I promise to take better care of you (eat right, exercise, follow docs instructions) I am sure I will be more prepared for sleep and will get the rest I need.

Nuck, yeah, I'm guilty of frequently abandoning healthy eating in favor of chocolate lava cake :drool: However I do exercise and follow doc's instructions with the exception of quitting smoking which I haven't managed to do yet. I take my meds faithfully too. I just haven't slept all the way through a night since my first pregnancy 10 years ago, and never more than 6 hours in a single night since my first mania, 7 years ago. Actually 6 hours in a night is miraculous! I average 5. My brain seems to have gone haywire and then adopted "haywire" as the new "normal."

Guilty of all the same things you are. My point was your words to your body/brain were harsh...easy does it girl!

I forget to eat . You would think I would be a thin little rail.... Oh well, I am trying to remember to eat.... Do not get enough exercise tho.

Use to walk a lot but it is 102F outside and it is almost sundown. I could use a pool right about now.
