Cthulhu: One of my best friends is bipolar. I've heard many misconceptions in our long friendship as well, even from people who really should know better. : (
Last night, I almost had a panic attack. I am up much, much earlier (only a few hours later than I usually go to sleep) than usual for work. A good friend of mine smoked me out just a little while previously, so I was tired enough to sleep. The problem was... I couldn't stop thinking about how horrible my day would be if I couldn't get enough sleep. It was maddening because all I really needed was to relax to drift off, but every time I tried, my brain went, "Wouldn't it be just terrible if you couldn't get to sleep?" My whole chest would tighten up. I tried to remind myself I was in the most comfortable place I could be. I cut off the panic, go some sleep and I feel pretty good right now (in terms of sleep).
