The last few days I've felt down. I haven't wanted to talk to anyone and have had to force myself to be social. I've mostly wanted to stay in bed but haven't been sleeping so well so what's the use. For once my mood hasn't been mixed. It's much easier to deal with a depressed mood than it is with a mood that's both manic and depressed. I saw my nurse practitioner Sharon on Monday and told her how I was feeling. However, part of the problem had to do with me not taking my Latuda because it was causing me vision blurriness. She suggested that I stay on the same dose but take half in the morning and half in the evening. Since doing this my vision has been good and no blurriness to report.
Last night I got into bed by 11 and slept pretty well until I had to get up around 6 this morning to use the bathroom. I was looking forward to sleeping in but after using bathroom I was never able to get back to sleep. My mood today has been OK for the most part. I hope tonight I can sleep better than last. If I can get more sleep tonight I know my mood will be better tomorrow.
I’m a 46 year old man who’s been dealing with Bipolar my entire life. It wasn’t until 2013 that I was diagnosed and this blog is my story. As you’ll see there’s been many lapses in my posting but I’m going to try and get back with it. I’ve had a lot of trouble during my lapses but I continue to remain optimistic about my bipolar hence the title Optimistic Bipolar.
