Hey @creative_writer still tired today, sleep has been eluding me! But otherwise okay 😊

Glad today has been better for ya 😊

Howdy @Snowie! Many warm vibes to ya this very frosty evening 😉

Can't really chat much tonight lovely ones, as I finish up at 8pm. Will either of you be about for PGC tomorrow evening? After that I'm off on leave for a week so it'd be good to see you in there! 

[Snowie]

@creative_writer was nice just to do something with D.

I'm glad today was better for you hon. Sometimes we have those days where we just need to get through as safely as we can.

@Jynx won't be on PGC tomorrow night. Heading to the snow tomorrow.

I hope you have a nice time on leave. Lots of Jynx time.

[creative_writer]

@Jynx not sure if I’ll be on the PGC either, placement can be exhausting. I hope you enjoy your break and will see you when I do 💖

@Snowie I feel manic symptoms returning, it’s a bit confusing, time will tell if it’s mixed or not. It most likely is, can’t remember the last time I had a true manic episode. I don’t feel like I need sleep tonight

[Snowie]

I'm sorry if you are headed that way @creative_writer 

Might be all the more reason to try and get some sleep even if you don't feel like it.

[creative_writer]

@Snowie I know it gets more intense when I don’t sleep, I’ve lived off very little sleep like 2hrs, even no sleep before. I took PRN, I think depression is in the mix, probably best that I had the PRN so I don’t end up suicidal. I’ve been advised to take PRN on onset instead of waiting till I’m in a crisis. I can’t go into placement like that either, my supervisor would notice my odd behaviour.

I hope you sleep well tonight 💖🫂

I feel so deflated

[Jynx]

Ahh poops @creative_writer I'm sorry to hear it. Anything you wanna chat about?

[creative_writer]

@Jynx I think I’m having a bad brain chemical day. My brain is acting up, I’ve been trying to keep manic symptoms under control. Not fun when you experience mixed states. I’m going to try simulating darkness to ease the symptoms. Dark therapy is a thing for bipolar disorder. Otherwise I have PRN too, don’t want to take it again, I already took it for two days in a row

[Jynx]

@creative_writer ach so rough, especially the mixed episode, world's worst rollercoaster. It sounds like you're taking some good steps in managing it though! Ooh darkness therapy, that's cool as, you got any info or resources about it? Be curious to have a lil read. 

You still feeling under the weather? 

[creative_writer]

@Jynx there is some evidence for dark therapy and bipolar, you can do a quick google search. I am, and I think I might also have UTI, abdomen pain isn’t great
