My sleep is terrible, my mood is irritable, my feelings are constantly hurt (in my brain)…it’s springtime! Hypomania season! And I am feeling edgy.

I’m going into the usual doctor on Monday to discuss my meds (namely, raising the dosage), and I’m having a video chat with my sleep doctor on Friday to discuss how I keep thrashing around in my sleep and tearing off my cpap face mask. I am in several ways very glad that I’m not having a baby right now, or anytime soon. My body is a high-needs little princess right now and I would like her to settle down and be a chill queen. I’m very anxious and I’m getting lots of support but always appreciate a text.

I’m glad my family is around me, virtually and otherwise. Thanks you guys.
