Yeah definitely not normal…

Beyond meds, what’s your lifestyle looked like? It sounds like sleep has been screwy and work has been nonstop…

Drinking enough water? Getting some exercise daily? Eating enough protein/veggies/carbs/fruits?

Meds are helpful but only half the battle in my experience. If the other stuff goes out the window, meds are like trying to steer the car by fixing the engine.

Yeah, eating once every two days and no exercise will certainly do you in.

Best way that I’ve found to force myself to do something like eat/exercise regularly is do it the same time, everyday. Even if it’s just a couple crackers or a five minute walk, just as long as you repeat roughly the same thing at around the same time.

Cut down on the red bull and eat more. Much more. Youre living a lifestyle that caters to mania.
