I have had bipolar disorder, anxiety for several years now. Tried I think every med out there. No major relief with any. Normally my doctors, family, friends, get more concerned when I hit the depression side. I get very suicidal & have been hospitalized countless times for that. Never been inpatient for the mania though. Docs are considering it now. This round of mania started about 6 months ago & has gotten WAY worse in the last month or so. I am also disabled with a very painful neurological disease called RSD/CRPS. Have gastroparesis (throw up several times a day for last year or so.....docs wanna put in a feeding tube soon). Many other medical problems, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. Have been on very strong opiate narcotic pain relievers for several years. Anyways.....back to the manic thing. Nobody wants to be around or even talk to me right now. I just have too much energy. My psych doc tested me for OCD last week bc of how much OBSESSIVE organizing I am doing. I dont sleep anymore, so I just organize. If anyone moves anything slightly, I uncontrollably scream & curse at them. That is VERY out of character for me. I have always been a very sweet, quiet, go with the flow kind of person. Not right now I'm not!!! My mind is racing too much to even think what to right. I need to go pace in a second anyways. So, I will end this post. Please feel free to ask me anything. I would love the input. My current psych meds are Lithium, Lamictal, Xanax. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this!
