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.
ok going to tory to write this again without facebook freezing up on me.
I got back from my pdoc a little while ago. Here is the scoop. She is taking me off of the prestiq because of high blood pressure issues and sexual difficulties. I am staying on my lithium as I was before. I was taking Remron also but 7.5mg at bedtime, she is upping that to 30mg at bedtime. She told me that the Remrom will take the place of the prestiq as it is an antidepressant also. I hope this isnt to much though it seems like and afwul lot at once though. So will give it a try and see what happens. I told her about the anxiety issues to. She said that the Remrom should help with that also so we will see. She doenst want to give me anything for the anxiety alone as it is habit forming and I had an issue with that in th past. So I will see what happens with the meds issue. It might take some time to adjust she said though. As for my work program well she filled out the paper work for me now all is I have to do it drop it off. She put down for me as Bipolar 1 and PTSD and also checked the boxes for anxiety,bipolar,and depression to. She put down as I was hospitalized in 2000,2007 for this. and markedly anxious in socail settings when around strangers, and victim of sexual abuse. she put to be at least 1-2 more years. So we see what happnes with that to. Well thats all for now. I have to go tend to my sick dog now. bye for now

Hey all, i know its been quite awhile since i posted on here. Its been a summer all right. Its been something else........... You know how they say not to open the can of worms? Well a few months ago i decided to find out what my due date would have been for my first baby, the one conceived by r***. My baby would have been due on March 4th of 2006. They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...
I also hope the med change will do the trick
Big hug and a blessing for you..x
As for me well I am very anxious tonight, I have to go turn in my paper work tomorrow for that job search thing. I only have 10 jobs listed and supposed to have 30 hours. Iam going to explain to this lady that I cant do it and I got the medical deferral form from my doctor now. I hope they accept it and I dont have to continue the rest of the program. I am hoping they will understand. If they dont I am going to have them call my pdoc then and she can explain. I am so nervous though they wont give me the medicaid back and I will be screwed then. I am so tired of this crap why does everything have to be such a chore for me all the time. I feel useless,and dumb.
Don't beat yourself up. Sometimes things are just more challenging for us than others. You've completed the paperwork and now you just have to turn it in. If you're worried that you won't be able to explain your lack of 30 hours, jot down some notes to help you remember what you want to say. I'll bet your pdoc will be a good advocate for you should they need to confer with her because she sounds like a gem. Hang in there! Glad your pooch is ok too!
I hope they accept your medical deferral. At least your pdoc sounds supportive of what you are able to do and what you aren't.
Try not to worry to much about stuff you can't resolve tonight anyway. I try to focus on sensation based relaxation techniques like baths and scented candles and stuff where you can shift focus from whats going around in your head.
Big hugs to you.
