I am so sick of nothing ever being right. My husband and my mother told me they are tired of hearing it. Happy thoughts.

My shrink asks me what meds I want but there are no others here in town that any MD OR THERAPIST would send anyone to. I can't go to therapy b/c I am a stay at home and have a two year old.

WTF is a person supposed to do?

Can't you get someone to look after your little one so you can go the therapy? It really is helpful.

SHIT..is sometimes the defineing moment of a BP persons life........you just do it...one day at a shitty day at a time.

Hang on......Hang on....Hang on...

Something always changes....that's the nature of BP.

As far as Husb & Mom..have them go with you to a Pdoc session,let the expert explain what BP is all about.
It's hard for us to put into words ,what we feel,a Pro,will be able to expain better.

Good luck

Ask your pdoc the next time, what medicines he/she thinks that you should be on. Otherwise, the over the top druggie in me would say "I need valium, xanax, klonopin, and lorazepam". I'd get so many that it definitely wouldn't be healthy. I guess thank God my doctor knows better than to ask me. She just gives me.

As far as group therapy goes, is there not a person or day care who would watch your son for an hour or two one or two days a week?

i live far away from family and my mom works weird times and they are different days each week. And she even works on days off.

I don't know where to go from there.

And mom and dh think there is nothing wrong and WILL NOT go to therapy. They think I just get sad sometimes. I am very resentful of them for that.

    Hello friendsSo school started for me half way through august (I'm a junior in high school) and I had a long phase- well long for me- of manic from then to now. Keep in mind I have bipolar 2 so it's never too bad, but depression is always way worse than mania.Starting last week, depression hit hard. I had a realization that I actually may not be able to function like a normal human. I can't get...
