These are my thoughts as they are happening. I am coming down from a bad manic episode. Feeling extremely drained now. I needed to do the things and say the things and start the things and finish the things. Nausea, headache, super hot like a fever. Pacing and trying to sleep but couldn’t. I’m emotionally and physically exhausted now. I can’t seem to catch my breath still. I took a bath. I read a book. I used lavender oil in my diffuser. I drank a ridiculous amount of water. I took a xanax, which I don’t normally do, and two trazadone, which normally knocks me out. But it’s 12:30 am now and I’m just finally calming enough to lie back down. Hopefully I can get some sleep. It’s been a rough one tonight.
