Thank you for this! It is 3:30 am and I know I should go to bed but I don't want to so I'm surfing the net as usual! In the process of getting help for my bipolar and I am so excited to see the doctor tomorrow!!
I also have bipolar. I can relate to staying up all night. When I have those sleepless nights I stay up usually three nights and four day before going to bed. I very seldom get 6-8 hours of sleep a night. That's just not me. I feel that I do better on less sleep.
You have such a kind face that I managed to watch most of your video in spite of being manic. Nice to see older folks who have survivied this. I slept just 3 hours in 3 days this summer, that was a new record.
When I come down to normal I'll have to go back and erase everything I posted while manic.. :)
i just watched this 4:22am and not slept for days.....im on the edge of wot they call an "episode"....and i take meds that are supposedly helping me thats a laugh...know how ya feel peace good luck
I wish you well. It has taken me quite some time and lots of work with psychologists, psychiatrists, friends and family but today when I have "an episode" I generally am able to deal with it constructively. I walk, write, make art rather than take drugs or harm myself in other ways. Peace.
ha i had one of those last night i went to sleep at 1am then woke up at 4 am now its 12.41pm i haven't eaten anything yet just been drinking green tea..ill get through it..
years ago I had a sleep study done at a hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. When all was said and done, I was told I had a sleep problem, haha!! Gotta love doctors.
Bipolar disorder is the increase of the schism between the animal part and the emotionless/logic part. Remember that at one point the ancestors of man were not self aware. We were pure animals. What happens when our animal part completely pulls away? Bipolar disorder is the shifting of the animal part having control and the pure reason side having control. It cycles. Reason gives you depression, animalism gives you mania.
Having one now, and now its morning, whaiting for night again.. if thats not depressing i dont know what is ^^ ah man i need help seriously..

Bipolarism has to do with human evolution.
Bipolar disorder is the increase of the schism between the animal part and the emotionless/logic part. Remember that at one point the ancestors of man were not self aware. We were pure animals.

I hate it when you cant get to sleep. If you stay awake for more then a day or so, it can feel like your intoxicated.
