So recently i haven't been sleeping, and I haven't really been taking my sleeping pills either, so I guess that's not helping, but I just kind of feel like I should be able to sleep without them and I'm not and I kind of just want to be held, while I cry, and someone strokes my hair and tells me everything will be all right. I think my mind is... broken.
I was diagnosed bipolar over a year ago, but I've known for a really long time. Symptoms of bipolar include
I was diagnosed bipolar over a year ago, but I've known for a really long time. Symptoms of bipolar include
Depression:
- Depressed mood and low self-esteem
- Excessive crying spells
- Low energy levels and an apathetic view of life
- Sadness, loneliness, helplessness, feelings of guilt
- Slow speech, fatigue, and poor coordination and concentration
- Insomnia or oversleeping
- Thoughts of suicide or dying
- Changes in appetite (overeating/not eating)
- Unexplainable body aches and pains
- Lack of interest or pleasure in usual activitie
And Mania:
- Euphoria or irritability
- Excessive talking; racing thoughts
- Inflated self-esteem
- Unusual energy; less need for sleep
- Impulsiveness, a reckless pursuit of gratification -- shopping sprees, impetuous travel, more and sometimes promiscuous sex, high-risk business investments, fast driving
- Hallucinations and or delusions (psychotic features such as these may be involved in about one out of every two of cases of bipolar mania)
I think the only thing I haven't had are delusions, so I guess i have that going for me. I don't know, but you know that Mania that I talked about right now, and that excessive talking and feeling, well I'm feeling it now.
I don't know how to make it stop and that kind of scares me and I don't know anything. And I just want to cry and sleep. and cry some more.
