I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Don't do yourself any harm; use us here as sounding boards... you'll find familiar stories honey.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. xx
If you think you are suicidal then PLEASE go to the hospital, call a help line, call 911 if you have to. But PLEASE GET HELP!!
You are needed in this world!
I have felt that way before too, and please remember, as BAD as it feels, it is how you feel - and it is your sickness, and it WILL pass eventually.
If you do have bipolar disorder, and it sounds like a good chance you do, and you've only been taking antid's so far, that can actually make you feel worse, not better.
So please, hang in in this nasty time, and give yourself a chance to get through this.
If you want, there are a couple of questionnaires in my photos you can copy and print, and fill out, and take them to your Dr. to help diagnose you. These are both questionnaires my Dr. gave me and used to help Dx. me.
You can copy and print them by enlarging the photos, and then pointing your mouse in the upper left corner of the photo, and go from there.
I also have some BP websites I can give you if you want to take some online tests.
They are not meant to diagnose you, but to give you some idea. You can also copy and print those and give them to your Dr. too.
