Lately I am very confused. I can't keep track of what days are what, I seem to skip days, and think that yesterday was 2 days ago, or visa versa. I even missed an appt with my psych and now I have to pay $50!
I can't seem to form cognitive thoughts sometimes, although I am doing so right now - it feels like I am floating somewhere above myself. All I want to do is sleep, but I can't sleep at night. Nighttime is when my anxiety goes up.
I try to keep busy with projects, but have trouble completeing them. It's like I lose my confidence.
I feel so stupid about missing that appt and having to pay $50.
I'm lonely. I smoke too much.
I'm dizzy and run into walls.
I've been on meds for about 5 weeks, does this all get better? Should I try a different med?

Yes, Cathy it will get better. Meds are always a problem for bipolars at times. We all know that. You have only been on these meds for a short time. Talk to your doctor about whatever is troubling you re: meds.
You and I are on the same page when it comes to having problems this time of year. The time changes in spring and fall and many of us have minor mood swings. I know I do.
Why are you paying $50 for a dr. appt.? It seems absurd. But then, many of us have some of the same problems. I sure do. Maybe Obama will help us with some of these issues.
I am a smoker, many people with disabilities smoke. It's a larger number than in the community at large.
