I was diagnosed bipolar last May. I have been taking meds and it seems to help. However, when I get under pressure and feel stressed out the meds don't seem to help as much. I feel so manic, full of anxiety, can't sleep and my mind reels all night long. Then I crash into a depression. When I'm depressed my whole body aches and I get terrible migraines. I lose sleep, feel exhausted and I become even more irritable and the littlest things seem to tick me off. My husband doesn't seem to understand that my mood swings are because of my illness. I don't want to be like this! I know living with me is like being on a "rollercoaster" ride. I try so hard and it seems as if the harder I try the worse things get. I feel exhausted. Any suggestions??? <font color="purple"> </font>
