Hello and struggling

Hi, I haven't been on this page in a long time. I am struggling at this time.

I was diagnosed with bipolar in July of 2013. Since then I have had a lot of ups and downs.

I am on my third pdoc. The first two stopped taking my insurance. I am also without a therapist. I have no friends and the only person I can talk to is my husband and I think he is tired of being the only one I talk to.

My mess were just changed again so my emotions are going thru the ringer. My meds never seem to last very long.

Everything is bothering me.

I'm sorry ur struggling so much right now. Adjusting to new meds can be draining especially if they don't start working right away. Ur stronger than you think you are...I hope things get easier for you soon.

(((big hugs)))

I'm so sorry you're going through so many med changes - sometimes it takes time and patience to find the right combo. I hope this one is THE one! Feel better soon. ((((Hugs))))

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
