I can’t sleep.  Or at least I can’t sleep during normal sleep-time hours.  I’ve gotten seven hours of consecutive sleep today, but it spanned from 7 pm to 2 am, and now I’m wide awake and raring to go.  The problem is that I can’t concentrate well enough to do ANYTHING.  I could sit down and plan homeschool for next year but nope, can’t sit still or think straight enough to do this.  

I feel like my doctor has given up on me.  He said he’s out of options.  I can’t take lithium, Lamictal and Topamax didn’t work for me.  I refuse to take Depakote because of the weight gain side-effects.  I guess I am going to have to stick with my Zoloft only, and then use Seroquel if I have a manic episode and just be an absolute zombie during that time.  Besides not being able to concentrate (I blame the Abilify still roaming around in my system) I feel okay mood-wise.  This is the time of year that I do okay and am the happiest and most normal since we have more daylight and it’s warmer.  Maybe we should move to Florida, I could get off drugs completely.
