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 keep checking my temperature, but no fever.
A week ago I went to the ER for trouble breathing and they gave me an Ativan because they said it's "anxiety". Later in the week I got an inhaler refill. I'm having to use that son bitch like three times a day, and it doesn't seem to be improving my breathing by a whole lot.
A couple days after I started getting deathly ill, and I still am. Tramadol with 2,000mg Acetominophen, and Ventolin and Flovent for asthma aren't seeming to help my overall condition.
I have another doctor's appointment set up Friday. I can pay for them now, but money doesn't last forever....
I'm terrified I'll have to drop out of school! Proving my work ethic and furthering my education is my only reason to live right now. The loans will help with my bills, since I can't work. Without school, I have nothing, I am nothing, but homework is impossible, and I'm missing so many classes from being so sick.
Maybe back to trying for Medicaid? But what good will "I'm too sick for school and daily function" do without a diagnosis?
Also the vivid nightmares that leave me woken up in a dissociative, painful state.... gah. And my monthly is delayed from all the stress. I might not have one at all this month, but I still have all the fatigue and cramps, my body just can't "get it over with".

Here is my new brother, copper :) He's so tiny! Moo and Tuck were ok with him on first meeting. Rocket due to his severe aggression will never meet Cooper.

I know what it's like to feel left out of education. When I graduated from Uni I didn't get the grade I was hoping for and three years ago I dropped out of an Accountancy Course because I simply couldn't hack it. I was pretty good at School and have taught myself so much as well, but I simply couldn't get a job out of it.
It really is a c**t, this anxiety.
Hoping you feel better soon, either way!!
