36 hours and counting until my wedding. I haven't slept but 6 hours in the last 48 and I am wired. I lay down and my head fills with list of things that need done or have been done. I have bi-polar so Manic Episodes are nothing new. I have been taking my medication regularly and the correct doses. I have called my doctor and it seems she is on vacation for 2 weeks and her replacement want to me to come in and change my medication around. I don't want to increase my meds or try new meds so close ot the wedding due to my body's reaction. BUT I NEED TO SLEEP. Any ideas ... I know that after the wedding this will pass. I have been able to get things done having them I am like the energerizer bunny I keep going and going and going .. I know I am not having doubts or cold feet. I really love him and he loves me. After 4 years ya just know these things .. I know it has something ot due with my family's lack of particapation and lack of support. They like him they just don't like me.. HELP

Seriously what really works for me and I know this sounds silly but, it works like a charm....Watch a movie you have seen like a hundred times and have no desire of watching I always fall asleep after like 30 or 40 mins in I do that when I'm really stressed or just relentless hope it helps good luck

In Latin America, maybe Peru, there's a thing called trouble dolls. The purpose is for you to tell the dolls exactly what's on your mind before you sleep. If you can't find such things around you (sometimes available in gas stations that has a store-front to see knick-knacks), then get a stuffed animal. Just talking will help you ease your mind, and you may just drift to sleep while talking or find your mind more at ease after you've said your peace.
Whatever you do, don't change meds at this time.

This is all understandable but you need to stop, breath and relax. Easier said then done? Make it happen! You need to be calm so you can sleep and be able to enjoy your day. If you can't what was all this for? Take time for yourself if even to soak in the tub or take a walk. Congrats and good luck.
