Weather: cold
Sleep: maybe 4 hoursView Thread

Hope you feel better Ms Cookie. ((hugs))View Thread

Weather: upper 40's
Sleep: about 6 hours but I woke up at least 5 times
Mood: anxious and irritated and still down
Plans: following my new schedule again today. It has already helped me to better wrestle the chaos in my house but it hasn't helped my mind so far. I keep thinking I'm better, I'm over this depression, and then I find myself even more unstable than before. I find myself afraid of my impulses and overwhelmed by everything. This is why we're trying this, something has to give. Hopefully it works.View Thread

See the post on the topic. I explained what it is there. Thanks!View Thread

This came from psych central:
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy is a specific type of psychotherapy developed to help people with bipolar disorder . Its focus is on helping people identify and maintain the regular routines of everyday life — including sleep patterns — and solving interpersonal issues and problems that may arise that directly impact a person's routines.
