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.
You've been really struggling for a while now. Is it time to call in the reinforcements?
I can't remember where you are in your treatment. Sorry ... seems like many are switching things up lately.
Have you called your pdoc to report all the difficulty you're having lately?
I'm not sure about your case though. It could be hormones but it could be chemical imbalance as well. I'd call a doctor to be 100% sure. Unless you think it's your time of the month than you might want to calk it up to PMS.
Sometimes I think we need to let it all out.
Is there anything in particular that's triggering it or do you think it's mainly chemical?
I get lots of 'delayed reactions' where i will suddenly process things that happened ages ago that I never really dealt with. Personally I think sometimes having a mental illness puts some issues on lower priority since we can be in crisis mode a lot where we have to just find basic stability and sanity, so our real feelings get put on the back burner. At least that's how my brain seems to work.
MASSIVE hugs
