3. you are right about the fear level being high

I guess all our nightmares are triggered about fears that's why I don't understand how people love to get scared watching horror/slasher/end of the world films then jump into bed thinking they won't be affected because they have become jaded by fear media .

Sleep is kind of our battery charger and we can't recharge if our batteries are abused by stress .I would talk to the person that prescribes you the meds and tell them about your sleep patterns and ask questions that may sound dopey to you but the docs need to know so they can help. My friends who have been diagnosed as bipolar have the most acute sleep problems ,they self medicate usually with ill effects so don't feel you are burdening people with your concerns there are answers in communication that's why us people with so called mental disorders need to communicate with people and feel alone in a world mired in fear of others .

So knock it off with the scary shit okay ?????
