My hair is so much better with a bonnet, but mine is really uncomfortable. I’m looking for something without elastic that ties up I think. Any recommendations please?

I’m generally pretty stable after coming off Effexor because of a months long manic/hypomanic episode. I’m currently taking Latuda, lithium and Lamotrigine.

The problem is I have crippling anxiety. I wake up at 5am worrying about things and have to get up because there’s no way to stop my mind. I’m constantly anxious. It feels like every stimulus triggers a negative thought. Like I watch an Instagram reel and I feel bad that I’m not famous (wouldn’t want to be), or I see any person and feel bad about the weight I’m carrying.

My psychiatrist increased my lithium, but only really slightly. My last level was 0.5. Do you think I should increase my lithium more (has that helped for anyone?) or ask for something else (if so, what?)
