Bf saw me really bad for the first time. Battled to leave home, but decided I HAD to get out and about to shake it. To not be left home alone.
Better today. But it scared me. Now, wondering if my meds are no longer working as efficient? Last time I was this low was about a year ago. T wanted me in hospital then.

I'm anxious as I don't know what to exepct around any corner. It could suddenly creep up on me.
I needed someone to talk to on Friday, but I was alone...
I am so sorry you got so low Sugarhorse. The "low" or "mixed" state are the worst part of this disorder. I am glad that you feel more leveled out today. I think it is important to tell your pdoc about this "low" period that you experienced to see if he/she can tweak your meds so you won't go through this again.

Also, try to remember that the lows of this disorder ALWAYS pass with time. I hope you don't experience your low point anymore. I will be thinking of you.

Good Luck.
