just found out that i might have bp. taking prozac, atarax, and trazodone. today i am very down but over the past few hours i want to seriously explode. if i thought getting drunk would help i would. i am locked in my room where i can't hurt anybody. every now ang then i get the urge to just hit something or throw something. i can't stand this and if this is the way i am going to have to live then i don't want to live.

Opening up is the first sign that you want to get better and have some hope.I feel much like you sometimes during my depressions.I hope you get the right treatment for whatever the cause and hope you know that your not alone in your struggles.

You sound like me a few years ago. Listen- are you safe? Do you need someone to stay up and talk to? If you need to talk write another post and I'll stay tuned.
If you do have bp- you are almost certainly on the wrong meds. Don't do anything dumb OK. Get those meds checked out.
Write back.

If you are feeling rage it is my opinion that drinking will only intensify it.So DON"T!!!
Medications take a while to be experimented with and fine tuned for you.Keep a close relationship with your prescriber and tell them exactly what's going on.Things will get better just be patient and if that means locking yourself up to stay safe do it...LA

I agree your meds are a disaster waiting to happen if you are bp - try not to panic, make an appointment with your pdoc and request a meds tweek - my old pdoc put me on anti depressants and they propelled me into rapid cycling bp - please please try not to do any harm to yourself or to anyone else, i have been where you are, there is nothing worse in feeling you cannot trust yourself, its scary not knowing. Get an appointment and hang in there x maybe a trip to the emergency room may speed thiings up - opening up is not a weekness its a huge strength xhugsx

Beat the hell outta your pillows, in the end it's kinda childish and makes you feel younger. outta control, get someone else to have pillow fight with you.
