Close Bipolar Disorder
I voluntarily admitted myself to the hospital in late July because I was having severe suicidal thoughts and depression. I was initially diagnosed with Major Depressive/Anxiety Disorder. Since coming home, though, I am being treated for Bipolar Disorder I. I also have a seizure disorder.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I am going to therapy weekly right now it is helping.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Writing has always been a source of strength for me. I journal write poetry and song lyrics sometimes essays.
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- This is something my therapist is working with me on. I feel it is a very helpful coping skill.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- I have been taking this starter pack for 2.5 weeks now. It starts out as 2 weeks at 25 mg then has 2 weeks of 50 mg then one week of 100 mg. I am starting to feel more happy but I still have consistent episodes of mild mania elation anger anxiety and sadness. My doctor is monitoring me closely on this medication.
