A cry for help

last week wasn't good for me. I screamed at some idiot on the road. Then Friday my boss gives me an attitude for breaking a rule that I was never told. She said she told me. She didnt. Now I'm still in limbo not knowing if I'm in trouble or not. I have been having dreams about reuniting with a guy I used to be with. It ended really badly for us. Then I have had these horrible stomach problems for weeks everyday. Then one day I didn't take my lithium. And I was fine. I've been on this dose a while so it's odd to me that it's causing this now. I'm kinda depressed and kinda not. I'm all alone at home and feel I need to reach out.

Ok. I'm not offended. I appreciate the different views. There's a lot that I haven't included in this post too just because I'm paranoid about putting too much out there. I want the meds to work. I've been going back and forth with the pdoc for a while and I'm on 6 different medications. It's been a gradual thing as far as the stomach issues go. I've had the issue of medications building up in my system and making me sick so that's why I wonder if it's the lithium. As far as the depressed/ stressed part, it's been going on for months. Not just a bad week. I can't think of much else to say. I hope I didn't offend you or seem snippy about it. Thanks for the support. Hugs

no offending me! I like playing devils advocate! Also, for me - people had to draw me a picture, I just didn't get shit - well, till I got it! LOL then its like the first time I ever heard it : )

Again, smart on you - not too much details, but there is hope - I'm on 4 right now, doing well - I've been over medicated to delision and inpatient. It's not easy this life, but can be good - I do hold on too, and don't mean to push - yes we are bipolar - but everyone hurts some times! Then again, the boogie man....... Thanks!

I still hope you feel better ASAP! Do keep updating, DS great companionship for me, and thinking about YOU - again, takes me out of ME!!!! : ) Right or wrong! LOL

I had a problem with stress at work and ended up in the hospital with gastritis and dehydration. The doctor put a scope down my throat and saw how bad it was. I had to stop working because the stress was too much and drink a lot more water. I was vomiting 3 or 4 times a week even at work.

You may want to see a doctor.
