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'm back, but still a tad bit depressed, and to the guy begging for emails and addresses, I am married and you'll never get mine, so don't ask. Ahhahahahahahahahahaha! Can't everyone tell I am depressed!? Not, I am depressed but manic. Ever been in a mixed episode? I haven't before, and haven't been in it for this long either. I hate company, and it hurts me to say this, I hate being here. No offense to you all. This is a cry for help. Anyone ever been in a mixed episode where they love everything yet hate it all at the same time? I haven't been helping, and it's not that I don't want to. I don't really enjoy life anymore. Please send all the hugs you want, but I am swamped with messages, please wait till I respond to them all. I love you all I really do. I just need some help climbing out of this mess. They got me on 80 mg of geodon. Anything that works with geodon? This will help, because tomorrow I can go to my pdoc and I can suggest to her some meds. Thanks everyone for listening, and I hope you don't take my rant personally. I am just sick and hating the world right now, that's all.

Awww, so sorry to hear mary. I am so energetic yet so depressed. My house is a pit, and I get up at 7 am only to be not motivated to get anything done, yet have all the energy in the world to do it in. Stinks stinks and more of the same! I hope we can get better together.

Oh I have so been where you're at. It will go away I promise but it's a very uncomfortable state of mind. Not neccessarily dangerous.
BipolarPrincess
Very. I been in one for almost three months now and it stinks and sucks monkey's balls!

I'm on 120mg Geodon, 400mg Lamictal and 60mg Cymbalta. It kept me very stable for 2 yrs. Since I started working full time again it's slipping a little, but that's probably just the stress of working 10 hr days.

Thank you, Princess!!! I'm sure we will get better, together we are stronger! I completely sympithise with what you are going through... it almost sounds like I am talking to myself... wait, am I?

For some of us it is dangerous. When I am in a mixed episode thoughts of suicide creep in...
BipolarPrincess
I'm going out to spend some time with the kids, but I will be back later to catch all my responses.
BipolarPrincess
Thoughts of suicide creep in a lot for me, and no you are not talking to yourself =)

So anyone else got some Ideas that might work with Geodon that I can suggest to my pdoc tomorrow?
deleted_user
So sorry you're not well, hun. Yeah, those mixed episodes are a bit#h! I hope you begin to feel better really soon...and NO...no offense taken. I know what it's like to love and hate the world at the same time. You hang in there, and stay safe!
BipolarPrincess
Thanks that made me smile. I csn't wait to see my pdoc tomorrow and tell her how much I love and how much the geodon's working just need some more help calming my nerves, is all....I'm schizophrenic and bipolar proud and it's kinda hard, I know others here who are out there who live life rough like me too, and it's a bitch to live life as a schizoaffective....

I get mixed sometimes. It is then that I usually do something stupid like cut myself and make myself bleed. So when I am in that mixed state, I have to be very aware of myself and I will talk to someone, like my therapist or a telephone hotline, or a friend that is sympathetic.

ve a husband, but he doesn't always understand. He can't understand how someone could be so happy and smile a lot, yet be very depressed on the inside.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
