Bad night for me @DownMoreThanUp . 4 hours better than the previous night (2 hours). Psychiatrist changed med for last night and today if persists. Well it persists so extra med for me again tonight. Not sleeping really su.. doesn’t it? I’m hypomanic. Done 3 loads of washing this morning already. Back won’t enjoy me going on tippy toes to hang it out. Well best get on with it. Hope you are not too tired.

@GezzaP Sounds very much like we struggle with the same issues. i got 5 hours yesterday and about 3 hours today.

@Bunniekins good morning beautiful bunnie, thank you for wonderful pictures. Have a great day.

@DownMoreThanUp good morning. Just starting at work. Hope the day pans out well for us all. Take care

Do you have bipolar disorder @DownMoreThanUp ? Don’t answer if you don’t want to. I do - type 1. Lots of chores today getting done. I’m hypomanic. Well such is life and MI. Have to do physio exercises for f.., back. Then do a Spanish lesson, water pots and plants not on irrigation system. 27 degrees here today and sunny. Beautiful. Love autumn and spring. You have an ok day.

@MeowmyThanks. i've been struggling a bit with anger today, been some bad days, although good has also been.

@GezzaP i have been diagnosed with schizo effective disorder and P.T.S.D. However if would be allowed name my condition i would say multi-polarised - bi-polar do not cut my conditions very well. Personal i think my condition is more schizophrenic in nature, for i remember psychotic episodes from as young as 4-5 years of age, and my childhood trauma memories suppress all these years reveal the same insight. In my opinion the bi-polar characteristics are mainly trauma/trigger/psychotically driven, rather than some other psychical illness.

@StuF @MissGremlin @Bunniekins
i used that have major hypo-mania. Today the racing thoughts and insomnia have remained, but the mania has long since gone. Never missed it much for all the fun i could also have. Such a state can be so unreal, especially when the depression hits hard afterwards.

Meds keep it under control, but it is always the first thing that comes back going off, in a bad way too. My wife and me both agree that manic has been my most visible state before from we realised i was mentally ill. (i used to work on all kind of crazy projects, spending a lot of money doing so. Many young people i worked with used to call me geriatric just for fun of the contradiction, for i was so purpose driven talking 100 miles a hour.😁)

I had poor genes mother and father both had MI. Think I inherited a bit of both parents. It was a less than ideal childhood. In teens would stay out all hours unsupervised. No rules parents had too much of own problems. Eventually separated and divorced. Trauma in youth. But usually I’m fine. Has got worse with aging and menopause was terrible. Meds mainly keep me in check though. @DownMoreThanUp
