It's like dude, just give me some ****in prozac i just need it for a month  . Saffron did work pretty well for depression though. My pdoc has also written a book called "bipolar, not so much." It's pretty good from the parts I've read I still need to finish reading it. If you want to poke around on the site here's the link to all the brochures. Some of it is interesting. He's always giving me brochures at my appts. lol. A thing to think about is modifying your diet, sometimes that helps. There's a brochure for the MIND diet somewhere on that page. I keep getting told it works. Also apparently green tea is supposed to be good. He keeps nagging me about the blue light glasses too but I tried them one night and it made me manic and I couldn't ****in sleep that night haha. It's all a bunch of trial and error, mostly error. lol. |
Yep. I think my doc turned me into a hypocondriac when he didn't explain to me what hypomanic meant. Literally no joke. I started worrying etc for 6 months. Anxiety got worse oficially diagnosed with GAD and Panic disorder. My counselor told me not to worry too much about it. She got ticked off big time at him for not explaining it to me. Sometimes your counselors can be your best friends too. She gave me the full run down and said hypomanic runs differently for people. She pretty much said my bipolar is under control from my meds I'm on. It's the PTSD and anxiety that needs to be controlled. I told her about the loud thoughts as well. She said it's anxiety and a mixture of mania. She said don't worry about it too much. I freak out over pretty much anything lol. Not really. I almost feel like Tweak from South Park now thanks to my doc.
I can live with the Bipolar. I never had issues with it till my anxiety got worse. Gee thanks doc.
