It started about a month ago. I saw a new doctor who ordered some lab tests. Long story short, my thyroid is producing too much of certain hormones. The doctor said having a thyroid problem could mimic bipolar symptoms. I got it checked out, and it's nothing serious, or anything to worry about. However, until it goes away and the hormone levels come down to normal; I believe this "crash" will continue to happen. A thyroid problem can be caused I read, by certain medications. The point being, it can be hard to know what causes problems, in this case an energy problem. Especially when health issues and symptoms overlap one another.
I woke up this morning and started my day like I always do, with coffee and my electronic cigarette. I had a few cups, and I started brainstorming and working on my outline for my new story. The creativity and ideas started to flow again. The imagination and ideas come naturally; I believe my disorder helps a lot with that. After working on it for a couple hours, I started to get a mental block. So I decided to eat a little and take a break. I left and went to my mother's house to check emails, before starting to brainstorm again. I got past the mental barrier that I was stuck at earlier. A hour later, I felt like I needed to go to sleep again. Althought I had a good nights sleep, my energy level started to plummet. I'm struggling now to keep my eyes open, and I'm having trouble concentrating.

AuthorI was diagnosed bipolar 1 in March of 2005. It's been a challenge to say the least to live with this disorder everyday. There has been some major ups as well as downs. It's just something I have to deal with. Everyone has their own problems and struggles to sort out and this is just one of mine. I'm not asking for anybody to feel sorry for me. I just want to educate those who don't know much about it, and if it helps out somebody along the way even better. Archives
