Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Some of what I write here,I've told you before,so please excuse me if I repeat myself. This is the second night I've been tired but can't sleep. My pdoc just started me on Latuda as an antipsychotic.I started taking Vistaril as a sleep aid but it doesn't work. I'm thirsty all the time. I plan to start a regimen of walking,as I weigh almost 300 pounds and this is the biggest I've ever been in my life. I don't over-eat,but I don't get any exercise.These people are beginning to make me angry (I live in a assisted-living facility).They insult me all the time,and I'm sick of all the gossiping and back-biting that goes on here.Other people are always coming up with ways to spend my money. There's no one here whom I have any rapport with.The new lady kept glaring at me over the dining-room table tonight. She doesn't talk.There are several people here like that.But it's always the same old thing,my sisters put me here because I had a major manic-psychotic episode,and I feel like I'm being punished having to stay here. It's like jail. I still don't think I can afford to move. I blew most of my money when I was at my sickest. It seems I can't be forgiven for a mistake I made 5 years ago (the manic episode).
Thanks for listening to me whine lol. But I've become so depressed living here that it isn't even funny anymore. Glad I got that off my chest.And yes,I know I've become very paranoid.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...
That would make it difficult to go to sleep. You might want to talk to your doc about it. The rest is dealing with human nature and that can be impossible to change.
Would it be possible for you to get your personal and financial responsibility shifted back to you? Once I was ordered by the court to live in a group home and of course I hated it. Watch me Mr. Nice Guy until finally the judge withdrew the order and I was free.
I hope you can find some solutions.
Do you think you're feeling a little paranoid??...xo
Sounds like you are in a frustrating place on all counts. Sorry to hear about the medication change seems like your pdoc should hear about your difficulty.
Do you have a relationship with your sisters anymore? Can you tell them how you feel about assisted living?
Although it's tough to do try to stay positive and exercise sounds like something to help...... So does coming here maybe more often?
Sending hope your way......
