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.
My life has always been a series of ups and downs. Periods in my life where i find myself, lose myself, f up, fix things. Long periods where i fall apart, get into a deep depression destroy myself and life so bad that I have no choice but to try to get it together. This has been going on since I was 11. I am now 33. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 at the age of 26. Right now I am going through a serious depression. I was doing so good I think for about 2 months or 6 weeks. I had my little moments but I was doing so good. Then here comes this depression this heavyness. Not wanting to leave the bed not wanting to feel just be numb. This has been going on for about 2 months now. It seems I will never have a normal life. I feel as if I will never be or accomplish anything because things always seem to fall apart. I always seem to fall apart. It is just really hard to live life.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
Life became more normal for me when I went on meds, are you on meds? If so it's probably worth talking to your psychiatrist as they don't seem to be working fully.
Once you're stable on meds things will see much brighter... It's great that you're seeing a psych and meds have started
It can take a while for things to come together so try and be patient.... Big hug....xo
Lots of us here have been dealing with it for a very long time, myself 32 years.
I hope you and your Psychiatrist come up with a good medication plan and then perhaps he can refer you to a good Therapist to start the 2nd half of the equation that work to stabilize BiPolar symptoms.
Take care and welcome!!
