What is sleep?


What is sleep? I used to know, I am the girl that needs 8-9 hours of

sleep and can't function without it. It doesn’t help that I take Trazadone, Seroquel,

Remeron and Lunesta for my depression/bipolar and sleep!


So tell me why I am only getting 2-4 hours of sleep a night? I have now been

doing this for days and I don’t know how much longer I can deal?

To those of you reading this post going this is a norm for me, I wish I

could say that but I have nothing left in me!


Getting horrible headaches, eyes are blurry and burning, brain fog is no joke!

What happens during the day instead of cleaning, doing things I like etc; I take a few

naps and OH those naps only last me an hour.

So I wake up in the morning work on something simple to do (like blogging)

lay down for an hour. Wake up, hang out with some of the family

for a couple hours, lay back down for an hour and just repeat.


I think this is the most frustrating thing I have ever felt being bipolar.

Cory and I thought maybe one of my newer pills (which I have taken in the past at night)

was doing it. So yesterday I woke up in the morning

and took that pill and yep I still didn’t sleep!


The picture for the blog is the Fukitol pill, that is something

I wish they actually made 😆🤣 I mean my pills are pretty good

at keeping my depression and anxiety in check but because of

this lack of sleep I am constantly jumping down people's throats,

crying behind closed doors and just all around miserable.


I just tried to call my psychiatrist at 8, apparently they aren’t open at 8.

I will be trying again at 9 and see if there is anything else we can try

because if I continue down this road I will definitely not be able to

function anymore, not to mention I am wasting my days away by taking naps.


Stay tuned for an update.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
