Something’s not right

Not feeling myself

Not feeling myself

I just wanted to create a thread for myself to ask some questions and to have a timeline.

I have been feeling a little off the past week. I'm not sure what is going on but I'm having bad images that pop into my head and the past 2 days I have been hearing music/voices. I am not putting it down to sleep deprivation because I am getting "enough" sleep, well as much as I can with having a 6 month old. I don't know if it is my medication. I have lowered my dose back to normal and that was maybe 2 weeks ago. I guess I should book another appointment with my psychologist and hash things over with her.

Its just really strange. I don't feel bad at all, maybe a little angry but thats it. I just feel like something is not right and I can not put my finger on it. Have you ever felt this way and been right?

Re: Not feeling myself

Sorry it was a bad night, @Blep ...yes, sleep deprivation wouldn't help.

I guess Friday seems a long way away, 3 whole days... Hopefully your nights will be better the next few nights.

Re: Not feeling myself

Hey @Blep, sorry to hear you didn't sleep well ( particularly after your full-on day yesterday). I hope your little man sleeps today so that you can rest for a while.
I remember feeling like a zombie half the time when my daughter was a baby and I was having interrupted sleep every night (and would hear music and see things occasionally). It's amazing how our brains work in a deprived state!
The sleep thing does get better 😴💕

Re: Not feeling myself

Thank you everyone for your support. I can not wait for friday to be here but alas I must wait.

I have experienced some of these symptoms before @Former-Member but not this intense. It is amazing what our brains are capable of. I do hope the sleeping gets better soon. He'll be 7 months soon so 🤞

Re: Not feeling myself

I'm pretty quick to notice when something is not right with my mental health. I guess its because bi polar runs through my family and if I do end up getting it I can catch onto it early. @Former-Member

Re: Not feeling myself

Sounds like you have heaps of insight and are good at practising self-care @Blep. I hope you sleep better tonight 😴

Re: Not feeling myself

Thanks @Blep, I am ok - a little up and down but I guess that is to be expected at the moment. This forum helps 🥰
