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.
I get so agitated over the things that I have no control over. I get so I want to go off the meds and go back to working as a nurse. Ever have those moments where you find yourself looking around wondering how in the hell you got where you are?? All the meds, counseling?? I'm taking my meds but I am in the process once again of thinking that I'd be fine without them. My moods still swing every which a way anyway on a regular basis....so who wouldn't I feel like going off of them?? How do you know if you are "stable"?? My moods swing on a daily basis, with no more than 2 to 4 days of peace. Is this it?? I've been told that I rapid cycle. From cracking up laughing to falling apart within hours. I don't like feeling this way. I've been on a very long list of meds already. I pray, exercise, take my freaking flax seed, take the meds the pdoc prescribes, pray some more. I feel like I am missing the big picture here. Is this as good as it gets??

Yes, I think a lot about how I suddenly landed up like this, but I've come to accept that there is no turning back for me.
I'm probably not going to be able to give any advice on rapid cycling, sorry, because I tend to suffer extremes with a bit of grey area in between (like 4 months of depression at a time and so forth). But I remember reading somewhere that rapid cycling is more a tricky type to control. I'm not sure that I would be recommending to you that you stop your meds (I am sure maybe other members would completely disagree with me on that one, and that is okay by me).
Hang in there, and I'm sorry I'm not much help here other than I just wanted to say that it sounds like you are doing everything your side to tackle this, which is a really good thing :)

No mania..some situational depression...but at least I'm not running through the streets screaming(that was my freshman year DXed)

stable. :)
Like take care of bills,cleaning house,shopping..of course it probably differs with each person.
For me ,going a few days without feeling like I want to give up and die,is stable.I don't RAGE anymore,that's a big one for me.
