sorry you feel bad - are you on meds?

time to see a doctor I think

It sounds like you are having some marked ups and downs. Do you have a doctor? Have you been on a mood stabilizer in the past?

For me, I have not had severe manic symptoms in awhile, but I know people who are experiencing severe mania will start staying up for days at a time and not sleeping, engaging in reckless spending, and having an excessive amount of energy. Do you have any of these symptoms? In terms of severe depression, I know that in this state, people will not get out of bed in the morning, stay in bed all day/sleep all day, not shower/eat/leave the house/talk to anyone, etc. Do you experience these severe symptoms? If you do not have a doctor yet, as fish has said, I would consider to get one. You can go to your family doctor first, who can refer you to a mental health specialist. At least, that's how it works in my country.

I do have a doctor yes. But am unfortunately unable to be on medication because of allergy issues. It's a struggle.

hi, allergies tend to be very specific so there would be meds you could be on - what have you tried?

I have tried everything. We had been working on meditations for 5 years. I unfortunately am the 1% it seems when they talk about side affects. And I broke out into such severe hives with the last one me and my doctor decided not to try another one. Or At least not yet. She is concerned about what will happen especially with everything we have gone through with the medications thus far.... It is frustrating.

I understand, Lilbit. I recently had a brief bout of mania after Thanksgiving. I am on a mood stabilizer and still have symptoms sometimes. Don't worry. It gets better with time.
