Hi, and question about triggers

Hi, sorry to hear some of you are having a bad time of it too...I'm not doing so well either. I have a major exam coming up on Friday that I know very little for...and everyone around me is spending many hours a day studying. I've missed class and not kept up at all, and I can't seem to get the motivation or energy even to do a good last-minute cram session (which I used to be able to do). I'm kind of worried about what will happen since I feel no anxiety about the test...that's not normal for me...I just don't seem to care.

I was talking with a friend and saying I was worried about this test...and her question was, "what HAVE you been doing if you haven't been studying or coming to class?". Didn't have much to say to that...she asked it in a friendly, kind of joking way, but still...I realized I'm doing a very half-hearted, poor job of even pretending to be a motivated med student!

But I know class and studying aren't the most important things in the world, so sorry to go on about that. I wanted to ask a question about something that I think may be triggering...some thoughts that have scared me recently...but I'm not sure if it's OK or appropriate. I know that's not much info to go on...I just feel like I could use some advice figuring this out, but don't want to cause anyone more stress.

Sorry to be so vague...

two hours....but i was manic so that made a difference. Last night I took twice my normal amount of sleeping pills I guess i felt I was too scrambled and that meant too manic to sleep but at the same time that also meant I couldn't think straight to do work. So I slept 6 hrs last night but was a zombie today.

Again, there is more news but it will have to wait.
