Bipolar Life

I decided to start this blog to keep track of my daughter’s behaviors.  I should be doing this on a daily basis so I know how all her meds (three!) are affecting her.  I’ve tried keeping a word diary, but….it’s boring.  I thought this might be a little more interesting, & as long as it’s anonymous it might be a little fun.

Right now the big issue is sleepiness.  Everyday she gets tired around 11 am, unfortunately the time of her math class.  So, I tried moving around one of her meds.  It seemed like it made her less sleepy (shown by the fact that I did not get a call from my daughter telling me that she fell asleep in class). But, it made her cranky & it seemed like all she did was make mean comments to me.

I switched the meds back for a couple days & then tried again.  She hasn’t fallen asleep in class but she says she is always tired.  She has been pretty well behaved but she says that at school she gets so mad that her head explodes.
