Found this old post@greenpea

Its quite accurate. 
the lows are horrible. 😔

[greenpea]

@Former-Member  Hey Fadin yes the lows are awful. I spent over a year of just sleeping because my mood was so low. I didnt have the energy to get up and brush my teeth most days. Crazy stuff. peaxxx

@greenpea 

That sounds horrible. How did you pull yourself out? Or did this set of something else. No need to reply if not comfortable. ❤️

[greenpea]

@Former-MemberEven though I hate medication and its side effects it is because of the meds I now have some kind of life outside of sleeping.  They woke me up so to speak. It was awful though during that sleeping period of my life. I was falling asleep all the time. Just exhausted.

I see @greenpea 

I find I'm sleeping a lot more at odd hours. But i think it's linked to AD's. Possibly not quite right yet. But I plan to get better help. I used to suffer terrible sleep at times. I can still hurdle the scale a little. I feel exhausted a lot of late too. I've stopped running. Just can't be bothered anymore. 
That's great you sorted it. I know med side-affects 😏. My P convinced me to stay on them.

@Former-Member  Is tempting to go off the meds isnt it lol. I know what you mean about running too. When I was manic I ran and it gave me such a high. Now I cannot be bothered either.

Very true @greenpea 

I've had a slight dose of gastro. Still feeling a little off balance. I think meds possibly don't work so good then. A little disheartened I went to supermarket and realised I only had $6. Only milk today then! 🤦🏼‍♀️
My kids are at school and I have to do some work. 😏

@Former-Member  Hey Fadin hope you are starting to feel a bit better today. Gastro is an awful thing. I remember those days of only having enough money to buy milk. Those are tough times. Never to be forgotten. It is always a relief to have the kids back at school isnt it 🙂
