It has been almost four weeks now since my husband died and after going around in a fog for three of those weeks, the thought that I am never going to see him or talk to him or hug him ever again is like this weight on my chest that no amount of crying or screaming or punching pillows will relieve. I feel like I can barely move, I can't focus, I cry A LOT and I just don't know how I can be strong enough to handle this burden.

First, Id like to thank everyone for being so welcoming, kind and helpful. I start Lamotrigine tomorrow and after reading some side effects in a post I'm (more) nervous. I was wondering other experiences people have had with this medication, the good and the bad.Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 on Friday and I'm really nervous about how a new medication will effect me. Any support regarding med effects (pros and cons) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Then one day it will be that you survive and something more.
And over time the something more grows.
I'm beginning to learn that there is no magic hanbook on how to survive. Everybody's different. Hang in there.
I am 7 months down the track though and can only tell you that the best advice given to me was 'Just be, this is no race' So don't hurry yourself. Your body is in shock. You will draw on survival skills you didn't even know you had. Take it slowly. I am still numb. Still shocked when I wake up. But I can see that I am getting stronger each day.
Thinking of you from this side of the world.
