So don't answer unless u got it or dealt with someone with it or are experienced with the

matter. I hate that when the lows hit I'm

EXHAUSTED to the point of being bed-

ridden for a few days to a few weeks! I

barely function, I'm irritable like a toddler

who needs a nap, and I can never get

enough sleep. I feel like i havent slept in

Years when I'm in that mode. Then

eventually hypomania hits and I'm like the

damn energizer bunny.

WHAT makes us bipolar 2 people suffer from such fatigue?!! And how do I combat that?!! I can't work out during the "lows" cuz of the exhaustion and depression that accompanies the fatigue eventually. What about diet energy pills? I was thinking of trying that. I'm desperate! Vitamins and sleep do nothing. I'm sick of being grouchy from "lack of sleep" even though that's not true. I sleep too much as all bipolar 2 people do during the "lows". Any helpful things I can do or take to get my butt moving? I am waiting for my insurance to kick in so I have no meds right now. Thanks.
