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 can't even put into words how I've been feeling the last 8 months or so. I was put through a lot by my ex-fiance. The breakup happened 8 months ago but we tried to work it out for a couple of months on/off,my anxiety was so bad that I was paralized. I finally had to tell him that the roller coaster ride he was putting me on was literally killing me.
As much as I loved him,in spite of all he had done, I broke it off.
It's been very painful, but the anxiety has gotten a lot better.
Now I'm dealing with cycling I guess...I've changed medications, changed times of the day I take them to find something that works for me...
I'm getting a little better,but I suddenly fall in the depths of depression and a few hours later,I'm happy!!!
Right now I feel down, I can't walk outside to check the mail!
I just want to be sedated!!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
break-ups are a trigger for "episodes."
Some of my worst depressions have been after a breakup! I know well the roller
coaster you are riding! Sounds like you
must be a rapid cycler. Maybe right now the best thing would be to get together with your Psychiatrist to really get the
right meds to help you feel balanced.
I once had a Psych that told me if I felt depressed to take my anti-depressant, & if I didn't don't take it.
I was doing just what my doctor was telling me, and the whole decade of my
20's was a roller coaster!!! SO, if you
are really following Dr's orders, and
still having trouble; you need to ask
for a different treatment regime, or
perhaps even get a second opinion.
Hang in there!!
