I was fine off of my meds for three months.....was fine and doubting my diagnosis of Bipolar and asked for a re-eval since the only time I remember going manic was due to the medication. I do not want to be yelled at by the Bipolar people so I decided not to post this there. They can be so brutal to people who go off of their meds I don't want to face the harsh I told you sos......SO I listened to my pdoc and went back on the wellbutrin for medication maitenece purposes.....I did not get the attention I needed from the PDOC. She didn't want to deal with my doubts.....when I told her I felt fat and ugly and that I lost my libido and questioned medication she immediately ssid if I been off of it for three months it's time to stop saying it's the meds.....She told me she was afraid I would crash not on the wellbutrin....and what did I end up doing.....Crashing....I took one wellbutrin because I felt winky and instead of making me better it made me worse. Suicidal ideations crept in. I began to feel worthless. I took another wellbutrin at midnight thinking even worse thoughts because someone thinks I am putting the blame of my low libido and crappy feelings on someone else instead of trying to make a positive change about my own overweight problem that I began to feel like it would be much better if I wasn't around. I am now having trouble breathing and my chest hurts.....instead of feeling better I am now having a full blown panic attack because of anxieties that were completely gone but now decided to resurface......I can't go to the ER because I have a child asleep....but I have no where else to turn.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I know you are going through hell right now, in a sense I am too in my own way. Talk it out here with us, it may help
I looked at your picture and you are not ugly.
Listen to me please, if he brings up sex as a ploy, tell him that if he keeps bring it up, you will respond. Hun, I think he is trying to push and tug at the strings to get what he wants. You are not feeling good right now. It is understandable that your drive may be lower than normal, with the medications and just generally feeling down. He has to understand that he needs to make you feel LOVED, not just a sex toy. You married for love, and love is what you seek. Love is what you need, and he has to show you that you are loved unconditionally.
You started a workout routine, and what is happening is that you are gaining muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat.
Go by inches off your waist, not by weight. Weight do not always tell the true story.
Measure your waist for results, never by the scales.
He probably really do care. As you said, in the wrong way. You may just have to talk to him and just kinda get everything out in the open and off your chest. That can work wonders if he is receptive.
So, breathe, stay calm, don't take any more if it's not the way it's prescribed...
I will check this post tomorrow ok. Please stay safe and just talk to people here. It helped me tonight in a big way.
