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?
