Feeling Wired
I'm just looking for some advice really on how to cope with how I'm currently feeling. The best way I can describe it is wired and awake. Today I think my psych was relating it to a bipolar-like high? For the last couple of weeks I have felt really energised, but an unproductive energy. It's like I'm stuck where I am and I can just feel it pulsating through. My sleep has been pretty poor because I go to bed and despite being physically tired will still have that 'awake' feeling. I also have been waking early without going back to sleep which is rough. That said, I have also had some real lows where I've been suicidal... It's all a bit complicated really with exercise and being (weight restored) anorexic and things..
Tonight I went a little OTT and after deciding to put my shoe rack in my wardrobe, I pulled out everything from about 75% of my room before reorganising and cleaning it all back up. I now feel really tired and am in a shitty mood and yet my mind is still on hyper-alert and not ready to sleep.
Things can't go on like this. I have exams coming up in November, ones I didn't finish last year, so I'd really like to be able to reach my potential this year.
I'm starting to titrate down my antidepressent as we think that's the cause but it's unlikely to make a difference right away. Any advice for the meantime would be hugely appreciated!
