Hi...looking for someone that understands.
I'm a whopping 35 yrs old, married 17 years (kids are 17, 14 and 2). I've always suffered from depression and anxiety, and have for the most part suffered through it. I've gone on meds here and there prescried by a GPS.
About 3 months ago, my GP put me on Paxil and welbutrin. It worked (or so my brain made me think it did) for about 2 months. Then I hit my lowest of lows and felt suicidal. I started cutting again and didn't want to leave the house. I finally got the courage to call a psychiatrist.
He diagnosed me with bipolar and put me on Depakote (sp?), cymbalta and welbutrin. I'm weaning off the paxil and feel like crud.
I have no friends at all aside from my husband who is awesome, but just works a lot.
Sorry so long...look forward to talking
