i have been diagnosed bp2 for over 30 years and have been very stable taking lithium and klonopin for years. i know my triggers and know how to stablize. however, we just sold our 3000 sq. ft. and are downsizing to a bank-owned 1800 sq. ft. condo, which means no actual move-in date into condo but must move out of sold house next tues. i've done the majority of the purging and packing and the stress of this move, the uncertainty of move-in, obsessing and feeling i need to pack every single minute i'm in the house while hubby works 12 hr. days, has left me anxious, obsessive, and losing sleep. shrink had to increase the sleep meds. as well as the anti-anx. meds which made me a zombie and i just can't seem to enjoy anything out of this move while i'm in the house, in spite of having sold it in less than 2 days and making good $$ off the sale. i see and feel no joy and i'm leaning on hubby so much i can tell he's fed up. he's in charge of the garage and his home office and he's helpful but i can't get myself out of what i feel is a deep hole.
