I've been stable on meds for more than two years, and now I'm depressed again. I take my meds like a good girl, and I've built a life that's generally satisfying and important to me. As recently as last month I felt like some kind of bipolar success story. But now I just want to cry all the time and I'm terrified of what's going to happen to my school work, my relationship, my professional development, as I sink into this awful place.
I'm working on it - I'm taking more medication and trying to eat a little better and all that good stuff that's hard enough to do when I'm feeling well, but I'm scared and more than a little frustrated.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for with this post - I guess I don't necessarily have a question. But I needed to get this off my chest to some people who'd understand.
Thanks,
Liz
