Insomnia
Caroline didn't sleep through the night AGAIN last night. How aggravating. Thankfully she has a pdoc appointment tomorrow. She takes two different sleep meds so I am wondering if she has developed a tolerance to one or both of them. No sleep means no school, obviously not a good thing. With hours of daylight increasing every day as the spring approaches, meds often have to be adjusted. I think of bipolar disorder as being very similar to diabetes. Treating diabetes is a constant balancing act. Treating manic depressive illness is also a constant balancing act, tweaking this and that as the seasons change and hormones change.
Of course! Swings and sways and dips and bounces. I wish you were here at this conference with us!! You are an incredible mom and must keep a shred of care for yourself!
