A distressing trigger
from Bipolar Inquiry · host Andrea
Yesterday and last night was a rough night. I was triggered yesterday. And then I was talking to a friend after on FaceTime and got some distressing news that's not completely related to me, per se. But I don't get just stressed only by things that relate to me relates to her being human and sort of distressing unsolved news that relates to some details my life too. So, after talking, I just felt really, really disturbed by that. Really disturbed and I had trouble sleeping, and I felt so much pain in my body and fear for for this news that I heard. So again, life brought me back down to earth. And I still distressed by it, and I'm feeling kind of depressed today. And I didn't have a very good sleep, I think the sleep cycle shows I slept better than I did, because I was still awake at 130. And I had to get up and take one extra zinc and one extra sunflower lecithin, because I took one zinc at bedtime, and three, sunflower lecithin, so or maybe four, so I had to get up and take the fifth sunflower lecithin. And I did fall asleep. But I didn't go to that breathing workshop this morning. Because I would have had to get up at like eight or something. There's one again tomorrow. And I don't know if it's part one and part two. So my email to ask if I can go tomorrow if I sleep better. And I wanted to go and that's the thing like that happens is when I sort of hit the wall, there's some things I want to go to and then I don't get to go. And I feel like I can't go like last night I felt like Oh man, I just can't drive all that way. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bipolar_inquiry.
