bipolar messed up.
I dont get why my bipolar is acting up agian. I am woorking out, but feel soo alone. No friends to go over to and visit. Having to take care of my parents is getting to me. Then,l having to cook and clean for family. And just having to take care of me is hard inits self.my mind feels like its spinning. And bad dreams coming back. My one med is supposed to hell wiith that. God can you help me? i have all this stuff to do, just hate doing it. Does anybody elses sex drive go down. Its a big problem for me and husband. It effects Me and how much i feel loved. Is it my meds? I am pretty alone in this. My mom says my bipolar is getting messed up because of the full moon coming.. something about the barametric ppresure. I am getting out of hand and dont want to do stupid things.

when do you see counselor? maybe meds need changed ... mine needs adjusted when i get to holidays every fall thru winter. just how i am..just how i flow. and my doctor knows this. and not sure you would call my dreams bad, but i have recurrent dreams of mom passing i was with her. this summer two yrs.. I have friend whose mom is giving up so i do think this has some thing to do with my thoughts... i am not married, and has been yrs since divorce. not in any relationship, so others will have to share how bi-polar effects them in this. I would think for me anyway, this would be something you both have to work on. if he talks and listens that is. for me been glad allot of times i am alone. think some times i other spouse does not understand or show they do, makes things harder for the one suffering or dealing with it. (mental illness of any kind). prayers and hugs my friend. try to take deep breaths.... please do not do any thing with out thinking what you are doing. not sure about the full moon, i know my pets change when full moon..so maybe we do also. i know weather changes me for one. so i guess that goes hand in hand with moon also. again prayers and hugs. wish i could give you a hug,,, there are those of us who have been there,,,will again..and understand.
