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 have just made a call to my Dr. about possibly tweaking my meds.
I have felt a low self esteem (a humility about things) that might be
a sign of being depressed. My Dr. said don't be alone with this for too long. So he suggested in an email that I call him in the case that humble feeling was part of a depression and so I did. He may be tweaking my meds soon.
For some reason I can get so caught up in the moment, I may not really perceive that I am depressed - I can get upset and stuff - I just don't put real words into expressing what's going on. I think though this call to him might be a good thing. He knows me now and I think he is a man of good intention.
Peace,
Mark

Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and alone. I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it. It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move. Also having my niece coming around who suffers bipolar and refuses to take medication for it. Its been...
I hope everything works out well for you.
But I've heard that many times, from 'expert' sources!!!
Sometimes it can 'just' be a physical pain!
How weird!!!
I'm glad your doctor is sharp and is on the ball with helping you out!!!!
I hope you're feeling much better soon!!!
(((((Hugs)))))
I kind of feel like I just need to 'figure it out' on my own - but hopefully it will be a good thing. He should be calling me back later tonight.
I feel a low self confidence but maybe the med change will help with that.
I so appreciate all of your input. I really don't like being alone with all this.
Peace,

I get anxious when I face a med change as well....I hope it works out well for you... Big hugz...xo
