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 told the casworker I stopped taking my medicine because she had asked me when I took it last. Husband told ner he doesn't think I need my medicine that I have been fine without it. I guess I have been med free for about a couple months....I thought it was one month but I think it might be a little longer than that. I am also begining to doubt my diagnosis since the only real time I got manic was when on lexapro an SSRI for depression. I was suicidal and the pdoc at the time uped my dose and I became paranoid of everyone and everything including the docs diagnosing me. I had a manic episode blacked out and ended up claiming a chicken leg was the key to the universe. I don't really recall going manic on my own. What do you all think. Do you think a medicine induced mania can automatically label someone as bipolar???

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I know I Have been on and off meds the past 6 years. Basicly Once you kinda know your illness then you can manage your meds. The most important tool for me, my P-DOC and my therapist is my journal.
Meds, sleep, activity, ETC
