Nicky's fundraiser for Bipolar UK Help Nicky Simpson raise money to support Bipolar UK

There’s still time to donate if you wish to; www.justgiving.com/page/nicky-s...

Yay I’m at 100% of my £300 target raising a total of £300.98 (+ £51.29 Gift Aid).

I’m so happy with my fundraiser and THANK YOU so much to everyone who has donated.

My 10k is in the morning, so I’m in bed and having an early night as I’m up at 6:45 to be able to get to Hull in time for the run.

In other news I’ve only got about 2 weeks until my 10k, I’m still really nervous for it but I’m sure I will complete it.

You can still donate to my fundraiser at justgiving.com/page/nicky-sim…

Also words of encouragement are always welcome and appreciated.

This my hands after pushing about 8k with gloves on that have been rubbing, I’ve ended up with blisters on both hands.

Luckily I’ve managed to get hold of some new gloves that shouldn’t rush.

19 DAYS TO GO! Until I do the Hull 10k on the 8th June in my wheelchair for Bipolar UK. I'm really nervous but I feel ready for it, I've done as much training as I possibly can.

It's not too late to make a donation to my just giving page; www.justgiving.com/page/nicky-s...

OMG I LOVE YOUTUBE TODAY 🤣🤣🤣

Anyone wanna come flying with the birds with me??

I’m in love with this photo I took this morning while out for my training “run”.

Thanks, I’m feeling a lot better now both mentally and physically.

So, I’ve decided that I’m gonna train to do a 10k run in my wheelchair in June for Bipolar UK.

I’ve already started my training for it and I think that it’s something that I definitely can accomplish.

I’ve set up a Just Giving for anyone who wishes to sponsor me.

I swear to god I’m gonna turn off my Dexcom notifications soon because I’ve had enough of the alerts tonight, it keeps telling me I’m high when I know that already with how much I’m drinking.

I like that idea, I regularly post on other platforms and talk to people who can tell when I’m unwell.

Thanks for this, I really needed to read this tonight.

I’ve done quite a bit of research on bipolar 1 since being diagnosed.

I’m sorry that happened and I’m sure she will be well loved.

I love all of them and luckily I’ve managed to bond with them all.

I think everyone should go to BAB at some point in their lives and I think they do a panda and tiger stuffie.

I love all of my Build a Bears and I may or may not have gotten another to add to the family, my new one is gonna be called Rosie.

We already have Flopsy, Hopps, Hope, Lottie, Bun Bun, Bunnie and Aurora.

I’m hoping that now I have a bipolar diagnosis that more will be done to prevent future depressive and manic episodes and if I start showing signs of going into on they should adjust my meds now.

… that the charges will get dropped because I was in a crisis and not in a sound mind and I should have been taken for help instead of arrested and charged.

Here’s to hoping things get better this year.

Sadly I did get into some trouble with the law while I was manic that I’m having to sort out because I was was caught with a knife on the street after going after my hallucinations and then turning it on myself. I’ve had a psych assessment today to see if I’m fit to plea in court but we’re hoping…

God what a rollercoaster this year has been already for me, I’m just so glad I’m out of the manic episode I was in and things are starting to look better for me. My CMHT are trying to get me stable now and have medicated me.

I’m no longer hallucinating and delusional which is a positive.

The only thing that could stop me is the poison in the tap water but I won’t drink that and I’ll warn everyone I can about it.
There’s then the man that’s following me and keeps trying to attack me and wants me dead but I’ll stay in my safe space to avoid him.

Everyone thinks I’ve gone crazy but I feel absolutely fine. I don’t need sleep, I’m super duper happy and euphoric and I’ve got all the energy in the world; nothing can stop me now.

So over Christmas I treated myself to a Drone and I thought I’d post some of the footage.
People who follow me on other platforms have already seen this.

Thanks, we've got plans in place to help keep me safe now.

And I agree being depressed is the worst but as I've been telling everyone I'm not depressed right now.

They're coming out to see me today after I was on a Section 136 Monday night and Yesterday and they're gonna be reviewing my medications and doing some safety planning with me to create a safety plan for when I'm like this because I've only got one for when I'm depressed.

Thanks but they have already said that I'm having a manic an psycotic epidsode with how I am, with the happiness and how much energy I've got along with quite a few other little things like being impuslive, irritable and not being bothered about my safety and taking risks.

My team are coming out today to review my meds and potentially try adding another one to get me stable.

Thanks, ☺️ everyone thinks that I’m manic and tbh I could get used to feeling like I do coz I’m quite liking the energy and happiness but I’m not liking what I’m seeing and the irritability and anxiety and the lack of sleep that’s comes with it.

So, everyone is basically saying that I’m in a manic episode and that I’m psychotic. I got about 5-5 hrs sleep last night compared to the 2-3 hrs I had been getting. I’m just really really happy with lots of energy.

Last night I hung some blankets above my bed from the curtains to block out my view of where I’m seeing this man and that helped me last night, so I’m trying it again tonight with the hope it helps again.
I’ve also got Bunnie with me and she’s helping to protect me.

I’m still gonna be contacting my CMHT on Monday to speak to them to update them on the change like they said.

I’ve spoken to the crisis team tonight and they’ve reassured me and helped me find ways of coping for now.
