Yes @creative_writer hanging tough to speak to psychiatrist again about meds. This is the worst manic episode I’ve had since my very first breakdown in 1998. Not sleeping at all well. I have bipolar type 1 so mania is a real problem. I had depression a few weeks ago. Unusual not to have mania first then depression. I swear bipolar gets worse as you age. Had a flat tyre yesterday and pretty sure the spare is also flat as it made a terrible noise when went to shop this morning. Asked neighbour to take me back to go to post office and chemist as was raining. Not driving car again until problem with tyres fixed on Monday I hope. Got to have cataracts removed or they will take away my license. Seeing eye surgeon Tuesday morning and speaking to psych in the afternoon - busy day for me. I’ll be tired especially if I’m still not sleeping. Overtired and can’t switch brain off. Exhausted. Internet flakey today too. Helper says he’ll come Monday and deal with the tyres. Hoping he doesn’t let me down. If he does I’ll call mechanic to deal with tyres. He can get cheaper tyres than I could buy. Might be a fixable puncture. Excuse rant. Hope you don’t swing into depression. Do you have bipolar type 2?

@Shaz51 your morning sounds lovely 😍

I didn't sleep well, blocked nose and ears, sore throat and headache. I think my body heard me say I was getting the flu vax next week and decided to rebel!

I enjoyed my mocha this morning though. That I could taste it makes me sure I don't have 'rona.

I hope the rest of your Saturday has been good for you and your family 🤗 xo

It's called "The Kindling Effect" (Think of starting a fire with kindling) Mania and Psychosis both melt your brain
