I did my radio show this afternoon. It was on parents of children with a mental illness. I had an amazing interview with Don Moore, a man whose daughter has schizophrenia. I have learned so much from doing the show. I have also known stress unlike any stress I have felt before!
I am simply worn out- It’s about 8PM my time and all I can think of doing is going to sleep. I am SO not used to this that I’m not sure if it’s even normal. Bipolar ‘worn out’ is so different- when you’re depressed or have just come out of a mood swing, the tiredness is weariness and unhappiness.
This is just feeling tired I think. There is a difference between stress from reality and stress from an illness.
If this even makes any sense! Now that I am able to work more in the real world- I am experiencing things that are unfamiliar.
