This is getting worse. I've been on the Seroquel for a month and a half. I've been on antidepresants of some form or another for a month (I'm on my third since 02/27). The temper is flaring out of the blue... I've been feeling anxious like I wanted to just run and hide at various times throughout the day. What am I supposed to do? I hate this... Ihate feeling this way... Ihate the fact that its getting worse. I hate the fact that I have no one to talk to... noone has called me back. No one will talk to me... why reach out? Why do anything?

of course you hate feeling this way. sounds like you were self medicating to try to cope up until you saw the doc.........and now you're in that limbo of hurry up and wait while the doc and you try to find a workable balance for you and your situation. sometimes it is a bit of worse before better when starting out on bipolar meds....that's what our bp friends have told us about how it is for them.

when disease is flared up it can feel so isolating as most folks don't want to hear the tired refrains from family and friends who don't really get it....even though they might have best of intentions often their lack of information or understanding can make things worse...we know it can be like that for us when depression is ruling our lives.

which is why lots of folks end up here online.....seeking anything that might help make the horribleness better.

can very much relate to wanting to run and hide throughout the day from anxiety. we wish there was more we could say to help make things easier, smoother and softer for you.

why reach out? why do anything? erm, because that's survival and it is hardwired into us. the feelings of hopelessness and despair are often tag along companions w/ bp and depression. reaching out to those who understand, those who LIVE W/ THE DISEASES, those who have walked the walk and talked the talk helps..........it helps to know others have been almost exactly where you're at and they've managed to get through.........how?

by reaching out. by doing something. even if posting to say how much they hate everything.

we hate that you're feeling so rotten right now and we hate that life has put so much on your plate........may some relief start rolling into your life toot sweet.

kindly,
