I'm relapsing!!

[youthwalk]

I'm relapsing! This is so frustrating!
I stopped meds nearly 2 months ago and I was doing fine...now I'm regressing. I feel alot better now. I restarted meds a couple days ago so I guess it should be ok.

I still feel down and edgy though. Really short fused and just depressed. Relationships are difficult. Working hard at them though. And I'm starting to not trust myself again. that's a feeling I hate.

I just needed to vent.
Anyone else experienced this?

I know how you feel - really. I am in the middle of a manic episode and unfortunately my manic episodes are not happy ones - I get very angry and agitated. Went to my doc yesterday - so things will look up soon - once the new meds kick in.

I will be praying for you to feel better soon. Hang in there! Brighter days are coming!

Dear Youthwalk


One thing we bipolars know is just how to fool with meds so that we stay crazy as a loon.



I've done it and everyone I ever have talked to has done it.



I found once we take the position of being DUMB that things start to get better. Hey you never know, Just maybe that doctor ain't as crazy as I thought.



We love to SUFFER! We really have something in common with the DRUNK that says:

" AHHH MAN I'M FINE TO DRIVE "



YOU RECKON IT MIGHT HELP US TO REMEMBER:




XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O
( click on the X and move to the O ) ( then feel who is around you )

Yes!!! I know exactly what you mean and are experiencing. I really relate to how you describe being short fused and agitateed and it making relationships difficult and having to work hard at keeping things under control. I havenever been able to describe this as well as you have.

I also know that feeling of being afriad to trust my own analysis of life, people and things. But I [pray for wisdom and guideance from God, and I have gotten better at recognizing the pattern of thoughts that come with my depresion or my mania, it helps me know what to trust and what to question.

Blessings and prayers!

Great to get advice from people who have been there. Wonderful. I guess all that's left to do is hang in there and keep praying and believing God for a breakthrough. Thanks all,

Hello youthwalk and all,

So it is a lesson for all ; many of us have experienced that failure. Even if one’s symptoms have gone he still need take medicines for some time (even all his life) to prevent from relapsing. This is the fate of one in bipolar and some of other mental diseases.

Love, Yusuph

I have experienced that also when I went off meds without the Doc saying it was okay to do so. Now that I am a mom I take them and make sure I let the doc know if I am having any problems. I think maybe like most people in this world who have illnesses they are to take medicines for want to deny that is so and feel like a failure that they are on meds. This is not even true. GOd provides us with medicines to take to help us........And we have an AWESOME Father up above us that will always love us and try to guide us..

With lots of love

I try meds, but I got alot worse, but when I got off them I got back to the way I use to be. I need to find the right kind.
