Well they increased my Depakote 500 mg in the Am, and 1500 at night, Have to see how it will help for the weekend, if no results are in, a hospital visit might be in order, I am not very stable tonight.
Ken, I hope it works out for you. But remember that it will most likely take longer than just the weekend to see the true effects of the meds. I am sorry to hear you are having a hard time right now. Just remember it will pass.
It will or it won't, If I need to go inpatient I can always do it....Truthfully I am looking to get some adivan,, I need to settle down...But self medication is not an answer.
I am glad you are looking at this realistically, as you know, most people who suffer with Bipolar in the manic phase are NOT realistic thinkers.
You most likely will get Ativan in-patient. I am surprised you don't have a script for it already so that you can use it when you are feeling as you are right now.
I know it's tough Ken, but you will get through this.
Another night of little( but at least some) sleep, getting a cold and feel yucky!!!
Head is SWIMMING with thoughts, eyes are heavy too, but the sleep is a fleeting thing, OH WELL, thats life.
If i can just stay on board with this fit I might bypass the hospital visit, ( fingers crossed, just like my eyes...lol)
God knows I hope this online journal helps someone else, If anyone else goes through this, look for the help, there are good people out there,like J-9, with sound advice and a clear mind to ask questions to, don't do this alone.
Yes, to talk about things is like an online journal.
But to release pent-up energy, I can't think of any constructive ways to do that.It is what it is, uncontrolled energy,I shake, rattle and roll,its just a passing phase,although I wish it was over before I make a fool of myself.
I did spend some time in the shop today,no intricate cuts,wanna keep my fingers on.It wasn't bad to get artistic,and productive,but when a distraction shows its face I just want to go with it,focus isn't there,ended up playing poker with old friends for 6 hours,till I got cranky and had to leave,1/2 hour drive plus dusk and deer on the road are a bad mixture.
Anyway, Thanks to excon for the comment, I need those every once in a while.
Ken, I hope you got some rest last night. Glad you made it through the weekend. I am off to school today, but I will check in later this afternoon to see how you are doing.
I am losing reality,,,,Giddy now,,,but its all good, I have family here,visiting from out of town, they have offered to take me to the unit if necessary.
