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.
Ever been so wrapped up in all the hassles and ups/downs of Bipolar that you forget to pay attention to other parts of your health? Just got back from the hospital where an ambulance took him with chest pains. They treated him like a drug addict because he had just taken his Seroquel and Trileptal and was slurring badly. Then they wouldn't let me in with him at the ER because they thought he was hiding something and wanted to get it out of him.
I WAS SO PISSED!!! Four hours later his fever was down to 101 and he was a little more lucid and less slurry. I got a few apologies but I'm still really aggravated. After all, he has pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital.
We payed so much attention to all the side effects and problems with the BP meds that we totally didn't even notice him getting sick in other ways.... :( BTW, how long do people usually stay in the hospital for pneumonia?

wow..i am not sure how long he will be in the hospital, hopefully they will give him iv antibiotics...i think the way they treated you was NOT right and you might think about contacting the patient representative of the hospital to put in a complaint..i hope he gets bettter soon.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
