@gail2 as other have said, please do not apologise for posting if it helps you.
I think it also helps others gain awareness of mental health: we spend so much time in our own bubble that many of us (I assume "many of us" although I am probably only writing for myself) do not know what it means to struggle with manic episodes and what to do.
Take care, Gail. I hope you feel calmer soon.
Hi @gail2 how are you feeling this morning? It's important that you have outlets to talk about your mental health and posting on here seems to help you. Hope the visit goes well today with the care co-ordinator.
i feel better today i had 4 hours sleep with aid of new meds and Lorazepam its knocked me out Dont know if care co is coming to see me his worlds were "i will look at my schedule and see if i can do it"
im seeing things that cant possibly be there demons i oke at 220am and buzzes staff the person who came to see me when i told her about it just daid close your eyes and go to sleep turned round and left the room im so scared have been awake since

I agree that any health support including mental health does seem to be a lot worse at the weekend, whatever part of the country you live. Hang on in there and keep posting if it helps.
