just found out that i might have bp. taking prozac, atarax, and trazodone. today i am very down but over the past few hours i want to seriously explode. if i thought getting drunk would help i would. i am locked in my room where i can't hurt anybody. every now ang then i get the urge to just hit something or throw something. i can't stand this and if this is the way i am going to have to live then i don't want to live.

Darling, it's alot to take in all at once but you've come to the right place. Read a few journals, get information about the illness. We all have felt that desparate at times but with good support, good Drs and good friends, you can still have a good and productive life. Message me if you want to. I have been where you are and survived.

When you first find out it hits hard...try to do something that will make you feel good that isn't related to getting drunk, and find someone to talk to. It's a hard diagnose to swallow hon and I wish you peace with it. Love and Hugs!!!

If you are indeed bipolar,one thing you will learn,is moods change..it's tough at first,but give yourself time to adjust to your DX.

Believe it or not, anger is a pretty good recation to depression. Rage on the other hand is not. I get angry when i get depressed to, and it helps me not fall down into that endless void. It sucks too, but hang on. Give time for the meds to kick in, and they can help. Dealing with BP is not easy, and I currently am down myself, and angry, very much so, I am also tired, alone and jobless, with the proverbial sword of damascus hanging over me.

It makes me angrey that i want to quit, just give up, and that probably keeps me alive. So instead of being angry for being angry, I consider it a gift
