As some of you will know I've just had two days where I've just not been able to cope.
If I was awake I was crying, so slept literally for two days - constant bar about 2 hours the first day after stupidly taking more of my sleeping tablets that I ought to.
The second day I slept on and off for most of it but felt a bit better. Got up, had something to eat and went for a bath.
Went to bed early at 9 but couldn't sleep...I'm straight back into insomnia but didn't want to take my sleeping tablets last night as I was still suffering from the previous night. I was also concerned this was just a brief moment of clarity.
So I've been up all night. Strangely enough I'm in a good mood. I have been baking and feel like nothing has happened, that the past few days were someone else's life.
It's actually concerning slightly as the last time I suffered the same constant sleeping it took me a few days to get back to 'normal'. Am I being irrational worrying about bipolar?
I'm going to make an appointment with my GP, I've been on Venlafaxine for a few months now at the highest dose so in my book I shouldn't have such debilitating lows as I am.
I have no intention of mentioning messing about with my sleeping tablets for a few reasons...one being they take them away from me and two I'm terrified if I admitted that I'd be dragged away by men in white coats lol. It's also one of the reasons I won't phone the crisis team if I dip so low.
