Intense depression

I was starting to feel better but a few days woke me up all panicky about something.  It turned out to be not that big a deal but he still got me all stressed out.  Of coarse this caused me to backslide into severe depression.


I think I'm reverting back to childhood fears of abandonment.  A terrible and lonely feeling.  


I would like to move forward but my body lacks the strenght.  My mind is so filled with fear, it does't know what to do.


I've had my medication adjusted and have had a session with my therapist.


I don't know how long I can  go on feeling like this.

My only advice is to see if you can schedule therapy more than once a week. That’s helped me in the past

Big hug for you Jennifer..... It can take time unfortunately to get the med tweaks to work out the way we need need them to

I've struggled with panic before and it's miserable.... There is stability to be had though.... Please don't lose sight of that..... xo

I'm bipolar 1 and I get bouts of crippling paranoia, guilt and anxiety. I even have panic/anxiety attacks sometimes. Maybe its a side effect of the meds or maybe it's just the bipolar, I'm not sure. But for me it's often short lived and the next day or sometimes even a few hours later I'm feeling better. Maybe your feelings will be short lived as well. Hang in there.
