Hi to everyone

I cannot sleep and have to stop myself from walking out my front door into the night. I just want to go for a long walk but I know 2.30am is not a safe time for me to do that.

Is there anyone out there now that I can talk to? Bipolar mania keeping me awake and buzzy.

I @Zoe7 @greenpea I'm still awake😒

[greenpea]

Yay! @Zoe7 it does suck doesn't it! I am so glad I am not alone. I have this huge complusion to go down the road and buy some donuts from the service station!

I wish you were here and we could go together. Where I live is not very safe to walk alone at night.

Hi @Former-Member 

I could quite easily eat one (or three) donuts right now @greenpea 

What is keeping both of you up tonight?

[greenpea]

Double Yay! @Former-Member you could come with me and @Zoe7 to get the donuts. Us three together no one would touch us! Tough girls!!!

[Former-Member]

I'd be up for donuts, no one would know  I am gone🍩🍩🍩🍩

[Zoe7]

No-one would touch us if we had donuts @greenpea @Former-Member - no-one gets in between me and a good donut lol

@Former-Member  @Zoe7Its my mania! Good old Bipolar is sending me nuts even with medication.... I just want to drive in my car really fast up the motorway playing my music really loud eating pink donuts! (my favorite). 

What about you both?
