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 am doing ok today, but I struggle with this bipolar illness on a regular basis since I was 18 when I was diagnosed. The doctor still can't get my meds straight, the meds work for awhile then they stop working. I try to exercise regularly, listen to affirmation cd's, attend support groups, I have a few friends I talk to, but this can be a really lonely illness. I used to drink alcohol to deal with it( now I have 18 months soberity) and I used to smoke cigerettes tp deal (2 days smoke-free). I journal alot and try to pray but I am not very consistant with it.

Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
