I don't really understand Bipolar, by I'm really trying.. My brother is Bipolar and is in the hospital right now since I am have POA he is now blaming me for being there. I am so scared that this episode is permanent, he hasn't had any bad episodes since being on meds 4 years ago and this is the 1st time I have had to make him stay in the hospital and now I am the bad guy, so scared this will last forever, he has a job, a house and a good life waiting for him and not sure how long this will last scared for him and me.. Please help me understand.
Thanks Missy

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but it's not his fault or yours. It is painful to support someone through something like this(speaking only through expierience of putting everyone through so much pain for loving me) ...so unpredictable and so unexplainable and so hard to understand..even if you are the one going through it. Unfortunately it is not always easy, but if you keep believing in him, if he's anything like me, it will make all the difference in the world. You care a lot or you wouldn't be asking questions... He's very very lucky to have you.

Have any of you tried or are on Protonix (pantoprazole )? It's used for GERD (acid reflux). I've just gone on it and my mood has completely dived - depressed and anxious.It could be the weather - we've gone from summer to autumn here in the UK - temps dropped 20F or more.Just trying to work out what's caused the current blip.

I've experienced this several times in the recent past and I can remember experiencing it for as long as I can remember, off and on. It seems to have gotten more frequent and/or more disturbing. But does anyone else experience yelling or screaming when they're in the shower? Its accompanied by this urgent feeling, like fear, but also a numbness, like I know it isnt real so theres no need to react...
