I was really up the other day. It lasted for about 2 days. I was really hyper. ThenI was just out of it. Now, I am getting really down.. I am on no medicine right now.. I missed my last doctors appointment and I called to get another one and they told me that it will be at least a month before anyone can see me.

I pray that you will survive this period and that you will find some good medications to keep your moods under control.

God bless you.

it you can't get to one, see your medical doctor. go to your pychiatrist and either sign paperwork that enables them to fax the info to your medical doctor, or get copies. either one... the medical doctor is alot easier and quicker to get to than the shrinks are....

They can't let you wait a month if you are on meds without enough to last you to the next appnt. If that's the case please call them. The troublr really starts when you stop the meds! Anyone here can tell you that. " I'm feeling better now, I can stop the meds " or " They make me feel weird, so I stoppped them" I did and said it all and was always sorry for it. Noe, I take what I'm supposed to and if not working, I stay on it until I can change into another.
I will pray for you!
GOD BLESS!

yeah see your family doctor. expect a swing to depression when you've had an episode of mania. it's normal. and vice versa.

Hi everybody I'm still down and out, things haven't improved much for me spend yesterday sleeping most of the time but can't sleep much today. Got an appointment with my pdoc on Friday to discuss a medication change as things are slowly on running out of control for me.


Hope all is well with you.

I seem to not be able to function unless my husband is around to tell me what to do. He is a firefighter and sleeps at the fire house sometimes. those are the times I sleep all day and up all night being scared of nothing. I'm trying not to depend on him so much. I'm telling my therapist and we will work on that.

Funny you should say such a thing, Zita...I feel the same way. I often resent his telling me what to do, because he's not reall tactful about it always, and downright critical at times...but here lately, I've been thinking I feel SO lonely...no hubby, no kids around, it's too darn quiet around here, so I run the tv just for noise. (I really should turn it off, mayb I could hear more of what God is trying to tell me!)

I NEED to do housework, and LOADS of it, but I just can't. I too have been spending a lot of extra time sleeping. It feels good, and I feel better when I'm not feeling anything at all.

I do have to add a positive note...I have actually quit drinking anything...well, alcohol, I mean. I had the neatest dream last night, in which God showed me just pouring something down the drain, and assuring me "You don't need this anymore". It's funny, because I've really struggled with that over the last year, especially when the depression would sink in, and of course, beer only makes it worse. and then too, beer will make one's meds ineffective, and the cycle goes on and on. But I awoke today with such a new, positive feeling. It was nice for a change, and in spite of my struggles and pessimism of the last few days, I really honestly don't feel ANY urge to have a beer. What a relief this is! (Thank You, Lord!)

I have been lamenting as little the fact that I've lived here for a year and don't really have any real friends...more like acquaintances...but I know that will change eventually as I find my place in the community. I'm beginning to ever so tentatively reach out a little, and be more like a part of it all, rather than just living like a tourist or a stranger. It's hard though, when one has spent an entire year battling anxiety and depression and instability. But I think I might make it through this winter .

I just had to reply, though, Zitas, because what you said really hit home with me. I feel so useless and directionless much of the time, and it is lonely here at home. But my husband and I both agree, due to my recent mental health issues, and the fact that the house is too overwhelming for me a lot of the time, we agreed that right now isn't the greatest time for me to go to work. I kinda want to, but I don't feel ready yet. I am, however, going to get involved at church, starting this week, and maybe God will give me some direction from there, huh?

Everyone, thank you for your prayers...it has really been appreciated!!

In His love,

Laurie
