My anxiety levels got way worse when i started anti depressants. It helped with the depression but it kicked up the anxiety. As far as the diagnosis itself, that didn't cause me anxiety at all...just relief to know my struggle was real.

Oh i am so praying. I know you have shared quite a lot about your daughter in the past. So I will continue lift her and you up. I agree that the best thing is for her to feel your unconditional love and support...not trying to police the behaviors as hard and as scary as that is.

Nice to see some old friends and some new ones...and also not to feel so alone with the shock and frustration with all the changes. I'm slowly coming back. So i hope to be posting a little bit more. I hate that we don't have our ranks anymore, that i can't see if the poster is male or female...

I decided to try and check in with all my old friends in this forum. To be honest the changes really thru me for a loop. When i come on the internet it's really for support and stablity. I got so frustrated with all the changes and I really had no warning. I didn't think the whole thing was...

Thank you guys so much. That is wonderfully thoughtful. I love you guys deeply! I am truly blessed to have you in my life.

((((Awww.))) Thank you all very much. I am slightly embarrased and at the same time truly honored. I love all you guys so it's great to know that we are mutually blessed to be in each other's lives. As you know. I'm only a PM away.

Getting close to 2 months maybe 7 weeks. I've had lots of opportunity but I haven't given in.

Feeling much better. Not sure if the zyprexa helped or if the cycle just ended. Good news is seems that my 2 antidepressants have stopped the after crash. I'm tired but not depressed.

That's a good rule. I think it was stress and stopping medication (I went down slightly on one w/ the doctors help but i think it might have contributed).

Manic-so says my doctor. Hey H of Darkness sorry to hear you're feeling low...but sounds like you have a handle on the reasons. And optomism about the future always helps. VnG- allergies abound at this time. Hope it doesn't get too bad for you.

Praying. It's hard with judges and lawyers and doctors. I am praying God's hand on the whole situation and am so glad to hear the judge seems compassionate. If you are not able to work then they should be able to see that too! Sending prayers at you!

My anxiety, irritablity, agitation have been off the charts for about a week and half. Went into the doctor today he is making some major adjustments/dosage changes. He says i'm in a manic episode. I've only had one before and it scares me to think of the after depression i went thru. But i...

Anxious...super anxious...well that wasn't a long enough break on level for me and i think something is definately up lately.

Sigh. Yea i'm so torn. I don't want to label him. And meds for a early elementary child seems like a big no no. Everyone is so medication happy and those antidepressants can actually make a child more suicidal. If I was absolutely forced I'd research a very good mood stablizer. I just want...

Sigh, I'm torn. And I know i'll have to fight my husband. But I could take him to my old therapist who has two bipolar sons with the cavot that we do not want him on medication but want him talking to someone and to have an evaluation.
