I was diagnosed with manic depression about two yers ago. Most of my family has it too.
I’ve been a little manic lately:
Eating less
Clenching my jaw and chewing on the inside of my cheek
Biting my lip till it bleeds
Jittery
Racing thoughts

All the usual symptoms.

I know that lack of sleep can bring on a manic episode, but my question is : Does mania cause lack of sleep.

Because I haven’t been able to sleep in two days.
I took the sleeping pills prescribed to me for insomnia.
I took my anti-anxiety medication.
But absolutely nothing seems to work

i even tried hot showers, baths, warm tea… all the supposed cures for insomnia but they haven’t worked either.

Is my mania causing my insomnia?
Oh and I should probably mention that i am on adderal too.
[I'm one messed up chick]
I stopped taking it for a month and fell into a trance like state where I was asleep all the time.
So I started taking it again and now i can’t sleep at all.
I am on mood stabilizers
And anti depressants
And anti anxiety medication
And Adderal

Wow. That’s kind of embaressing to admit

I go to a neurologist. He’s supposed to be really good.
But even he is starting to get perplexed.

Can you have bipolar I with manic tendencies if you never experience the other pole (depression)? Is that possible and if it is then why is it called bipolar if all you have is mania?
