A question for bipolar sufferers?

Asked by Shippy (10015points) February 3rd, 2013

I just want to know if any one can relate to any of these symptoms.

Sleep

When I lack sleep I feel really bad. More emotional than ever, I feel weak and sick. I mean tired from literal lack of sleep. I have gone now maybe 7 days with little sleep. (Or not as much as I need I should say).

Once I am on this no sleep cycle I get more and more resistant to sleep. I become almost scared of it. It’s almost if I lie down I will die feeling. (Do you fight sleep?).

Anxiety increases, phobias (If you have phobias).

Aches and Pains

I get unexplained aches in my legs mostly, but overall I get strange aches which disappear once I am rested.

PMS

If you are female are your symptoms worse during the PMS phase of your menstrual cycle?

I’m really battling today, I feel like I am going to have a break down. But if I do sleep that feeling will go. Any feedback or any help or suggestion appreciated. Can’t see my Psychiatrist yet. Thanks.
