I am sorry mepb? that you are in this fog if that could be a good word to describe your thoughts....
The not sleeping at night is the biggest issue I think.

Unfortunately I'm in a dilemma. I know I need to sleep desperately but I can't, I can't stop my mind. I tried Klonopin and didn't seem right. I started to shake and cry and I got nervous and never took it again. I have this fear of becoming a drug addict. I even hate to take Nyquil when I'm sick. I've seen some people that were addicts when I was in the hospital and it broke my heart. I don't want to end up like that, in a hospital where no one cares.

I can't take any anti-ds because they make me manic. So my pdoc said no more.

I think I'm coming down a bit but I'm terrified of how "down" I'll come. The last time I had a bad episode I came waaaay down and tried "it" and I don't want to end up there again.

This is just my ignorance I think. I don't know a lot about BP, I'm afraid to ask questions and clam up.

I know I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight. I have these big blowers blowing and 3 humidifiers from the carpet place to help to dry out my carpets from the flood. The insurance adjuster won't be out until sometime next week so I hope they dry soon.

i know my not sleeping is different than your mebp. the best thing is to not even think about it. make plans around it. if you know you aren't going to sleep, then find somethig to do. watch a movie...cook...heck i end up doing the stuff that is hard for me to do during the day with a 5 yr old.

but if i lay down, knowing i'm not going to sleep, i get agravated and figity. i don't sit still much anyways.

i hope your carpets dry our fast. what a pain huh? we did get some hail damage to one of our cars. doing the waiting game too.

I'm so sorry about your car Curious. This is some crazy weather for spring. Do you know we haven't seen the sun since last Thursday. But hopefully this weekend they got it right and we get sunshine and 70.

I've already decided I'm not going to just lie in bed and stare at the ceiling fan, watching it go round and round. I try so hard to sleep and I end up seeing every hour go by and keep thinking how am I going to work tomorrow. Food doesn't taste good so cooking is out. I do have some DVDs I got for Christmas and haven't watched yet. Usually when I watch a movie I fall asleep soooooooo maybe it will work.

how about counting sheep?

i hope you enjoy the movies enough to relax and fall asleep.

Or maybe I'll need to starting hooting at the night owls.
