Hi, I'm new on this site, I discovered it just looking for information on Bipolar Disorder, basically looking for answers as I'm not sure how to deal with it anymore. I was diagnosed almost two years ago, after a long battle and what then became evident to those around me something was not right, I couldn't see it as I thought it was normal. I don't think I'll ever have a full hold on it, but all I am looking for is a way to handle it in a way that will not hurt me anymore. The biggest issue is protecting my son from my mood swings, he thinks I'm a happy go lucky type person and I'd be lying if I didn't once in a while get really quiet and he notices it. I have to be able to control it so it won't control me so much. Any help out there? any way on how I can do this? At first I was given Prozac, then Prozac and Lamictal, then for some reason it didn't work anymore and the doctor that I went to was older and because I was so not in tune with it all and I would not go to appointments and miss them, he stopped seeing me anymore, personally I understand, emotionally I think him letting was out right cruel. Now I see another doctor and again I stopped going, I don't know why I do it, but he put me on Seroquil, it helps with the anxiety and feeling of climbing walls have subsided. What I can't get used to is the constant up and down, the surge of energy then a complete fall, it happens everday for some reason. Anyone out here, has anyone experienced the happy part of the day early then for like 4 hours I want to cry then some how I snap out of it, it's the weirdes thing ever, I noticed it a few months ago that around 10 am til like almost 1 I'm totally down then I come up and down most of the day, then at night after like an hour of being home I'm what I call normal.
