You could be rapid cycling , or in a mixed episode...either way I know it suxs !

I don't know how long ago you were DXed as BP, but it does take a while sometimes to settle into a good med combo, and finally get some stability going .

In the mean time , maybe call your Pdoc , let him know what's going on, and remember you are not alone ..we are here for you

I'm sorry to hear your going through this. I agree with DD, sounds as if you are rapid cycling.

Can you try some meditation, listening to music, or mindfulness exercises (if you know any) that can help get you more centered and grounded.

Hope things slow down for you soon.

I agree, a mixed cycle or a ultraian rapid cycler. It is hell I know. Sleep is holy at this point.

Also, too, life gets to be just too much.

In which case, relaxing, mindfulness excersises and a good movie are a must.

I am going to do some research on rapid cycling dont know much about it but if it is what i am going through it is pure HELL.......

I ultra rapid cycle, I dont know who I'm gonna be when I wake up and when I go to bed. Will I be ok, a freaked out ball of anxiety or a non moveable depressed chick.? I feel for you hun :(

I know what you mean by rapid cycling now One min I am ok the next I am bALLING MY EYES out the next i want to kill somebody I get very irritated over little things. I am high I am low no in between. I just dont get it i really dont. I hate this crap I do I do I do.... Make it stop please.....................

Hope you find some peace, Kitty.

I am in a constant rapid cycle. I dont know literally minute to minute what I am going to b like. When its not rapid cycling occasionally it will stop for a few hours and b mixed.
It sure does suk! Especially if ur not used to it I guess. Good luck Kitty!

(((Kitty)))

ugg this cycling crap is for the birds it sucks go away please.........

((((kitty))))

blah blah blah........

I called my pdoc and she told me to wait it out basically until my medicaid coverage kicks in I hope by nov I dont know if I can wait that long. I am going crazy here literally. This cycling up and down back and forth is driving me nuts. My doc does not want to change my meds just yet until I get coverage grrrr How am I going to get through this??

sounds like rapid cycling to me. At least that is how I feel when I rapid cycle. I know how hard and frustrating it is but just remember we are all here for you and we understand. and don't forget, it will get better. Sometimes a med tweek and sometimes just time. Hugs!!!

thanks Autumn (((hugs)))) to you i will try to hang in there as hard as it is:)
