Hat Trick?

That would be so cool.

Three good days in a row. But this one is very new at the moment. I'm not counting any chickens yet.

New day already, and sleep highly unlikely for some time to come. I'm on some pretty hefty medication (mood stabilizers, anti-depressants, tranquilizers) and the pharmacist assures me I should be sleeping like a baby (a sleepy baby), but it just doesn't happen.

From what I've read I share quite a lot in common with sufferers of bipolar disorder, with a few notable differences. Bipolar moods don't tend to change as quickly as mine do, although I am aware that ultra rapid cycling exists, when mood changes can be very sudden. Also, I don't get the mania associated with bipolar disorder, although there are some features of borderline which are similar. And self-harm is really only a problem with borderline.

Tomorrow is going to be tricky because I'm gearing up to a visit to the psychiatric nurse on Thursday. This is a problem as it is my belief that she dislikes me. As do my psychiatrist and my doctor. And most of the rest of the general population. Did I mention that this is also a problem?

I don't know why you are still reading - you probably dislike me too.
