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.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

  Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
