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've been up and down and all over the place emotionally and energywise. I feel as if I am rapid cycling, a good friend mentioned rapid cycling to me at one time. What should I do? Self medicate?? I take klonopin but they barely touch me anymore. I am uncomfortable in my own skin, having thoughts of doing crazy things that I know will just cause more problems. I can't grasp what is happening to me. I'm hesitant to call my pdoc...I know I'll start crying and babbling and get agitated. Should I self medicate til Monday? Just not sure what to do.
Alsso,OTC Benadryl will take the edge off..it's used in Phyc hospitals regularly to calm and used as a sleep aide also.
If things get worse for you,you may be approachung a ohycotic episode...don't wait too long to call your Pdoc...believe me ,it won't be the first time a patient has called him blabbering and bawling!
I do it all the time,just hearing his voice can calm me down
