Trouble Again

Long story short, I'm having trouble getting my meds adjusted. I've been very depressed for several weeks, each day getting worse and worse. I finally shared it with the caregiver on duty tonight. Someone else will be coming in tomorrow, I hope I'm not too much for her to handle (she's new). I feel like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders since I opened up to the care nurse. I could lie down in my room and cry and cry and nothing would ever get resolved that way. I would be agreeable with going into the hospital to get my meds adjusted but my sisters will be mad at me if I do and probably stop speaking to me. I don't care.Mornings have gotten so bad sometimes I wish I wouldn't wake up one more day.

Beat your sisters to the punch and stop talking to them first! Do what you need to do for yourself and I hope it all gets sorted out in a positive way.

Big hug for you sweetie... I'm so sorry you're feeling so lousy... I'm glad you spoke up to the staff.. If you need to go to the hospital I hope that you'll go...Your sisters should want for you what is in your best interest....xo

Update: I spent the night in the ER and was interviewed by a crisis worker who told me I didn't meet the criteria for hospitalization. I was (am) depressed but not suicidal. One of the reasons I was there so long was I didn't have a ride home and so I waited until transportation was arranged by the hospital staff. I would never call my sisters at a time like that. They don't understand me and never will. I need something for sleep but the PA is off today so I will wait for her to get in touch with me on Monday.

    I have to say, I've been fairly stable for the past 9 years, except for anxiety issues.  For any who don't know me, before 2017, I was a Mess.  Seriously undermedicated crazy person.And, since I've been stable for so long, I had come to believe I was "cured".  That bipolar just miraculously ended for me....Until last month, when some things started happening that used to happen.  And now I'm...
