Please prey for me!

[Alive again]

Hi, I have spent so little time in the manic phase of this illnes, have spent 12 years and more in depression. I have a dr appt in mid July. My manias have usually been limited to rages, which I hate and try to control with a passion of love for Christ and thru HIS strength. Recently I have been experience the more euphoria and even mixed cycles and having nevenr dealt with this side of the illnesss. . . I am lost at sea and have no clues how to cope!!!! Please give me some tips as well as your prayers. Still smiling and praying while I'm crying and dancing in the treetops. . .

This part might not last too long, then, after you will feel like you have to sleep for awhile. But, I just try to clean the house and be busy or I go out of my mind!! So, I guess just keep busy and enjoy the dancing parts and pray and I will pray for you!!
GOD BLESS!!

Would it be possible to go and see the doctor earlier and have him up or change your mood stabilizers? My experience with the manic side is that it always ended in psychosis unless I nipped it in the butt beforehand. Also the higher you go the deeper the depression seems to go afterwards.

But yeah other than that - dance, hike, swim and enjoy the gifts our Father has bestowed on you as an individual.

Wishing you God's wisdom during this time.

Couldn't see doc, but God happen to bring her into the office and I was able to speak with her by phone and I have got an order for risperedal if I need it, although I am beginning to calm down this am. We will see. I did feel an anxiety/psychotic edge to this one for sure. Lived on lorazepam for a couple of days and in the middle of it all. I decided to go to Vienna with my daughter. I leave the 5th of July and will let you all know if it was my first mania induced disaster when I return. It is unwise financially for us, but we will get a equity loc and maybe it will be okay in the end. Only time will tell. It has been an interesting summer to say the least. Some times the temptation to chuck all the meds and just see how it would be is incredibly tempting. Especially when it feels like nothing is working, but the storm does end if you just hang on tight. If I do crash into depression at least I am familiar with how to handle that. It is just this mania side I am clueless on how to handle and not mess up my life. This was my first real episode of it. that was what was most scary---the not knowing how to handle it and judge what to do!!! It was easier when I just got raging and it went away altho I felt terrible afterwards. So much for my rambling. But thank you all for your prayers during this time. I will check in a time or two before I go and then when I return. My thoughts and prayers will never be far from my cf friends!!!
