SLEEP: what's a Bp to do?

I understand your problem - my sleep is terrible! Either I don't sleep at all or I 'll sleep all day. Usually if I don't sleep for a couple of days then I know that is one of my "triggers" and that m…

Dear Martha, I really, really feel for you! Death of loved ones are one of the biggest stressors in life (stress affects our bp very negatively) and you have suffered two, back to back. I can't add anything else that others haven't already said here…

Martha, I am not sure what to say that could possibly ease your mind after you have been through that. But I will say that you are loved by your fellow BP'ers. There are a great amount of people here who have been to the bottom of the ladder and sur…

Hi Martha, Really sorry about your Mom. Mine died 7 years ago. It's so hard to lose our Moms. For the really most embarrassing thing I've ever done while Manic, with a capital M, is hitchhike down a major artery in State College, PA naked. I was 2…

Thanks - I appreciate you thinking of me. I am still getting used to my Bipolar & recogonizing it's symptoms. In the past I usually only have hypomania episodes where I just feel great and not over the top. I may talk really fast & change subjects f…

I think that has been one of my main problems - is keeping up with my meds. Some days I just forget to take them or I'll only take one or two for some reason.. I guess if there weren't so many I would do better - but for now this cocktail seems to w…

That's a good one, Donna. It was certainly benign enough as far as manic episodes go!

My husband was working nights and I was very manic. I was in my creative stage, so I sponge painted a window in my house so I wouldn't have to put a curtain on it. Looked stupid and took me a long time to get off .

My most embarrassing moment while manic happened before I was diagnosed as bipolar. During my sophomore year in college, I went to my oral communications class to take my semester final, but told them all off for making one of my friends uncomfortab…
