hypo help

Postby brakingdown » Thu Dec 21, 2017 5:08 am

For the past two weeks I've been battling some pretty gnarly hypomania. I've been ticking off all the boxes, plus people have been telling me that I look like I'm on drugs. I was hospitalized last week and just got out yesterday morning. I saw my therapist and she seemed very concerned and said I was still worryingly hypomanic. Pdoc floated the idea of starting injectable APs. I can't sleep. I took 100mg of trazodone as prescribed and I can barely feel it. I tried to sleep, I just can't. My mind is racing. I can't talk as fast as I can think. This is agonizing. I just want it to stop. I can't believe I was doubting this diagnosis. I didn't think this could happen to me but it did.

THE MEDS AREN'T WORKING. Insurance wouldn't let me stay at the hospital longer. I think I needed it. I do.

When I can't sleep, I take Klonopin. It works great. I've heard Seroquel works great too.
Be kind to everyone you come across because you never know who’s suffering inside.

Pretty quiet out there. What's up? Hypomania isn't good.
Are you getting any sleep? Are you getting any help?

I know the feeling of knowing things are not right and desperately wanting to find the magic fix.

I hope you are well.
Take care,
It is not always possible to make someone's discomfort go away.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is resist the urge to fix it and instead just say, "You, too?"
