Hello. This is my first time on the board and just reading posts
is helping me realize I am not alone.

I am bipolar and just started seeing a therapist and taking meds in late
November. I was in a manic state for almost 2 months and loving life, having tons of energy, happy thoughts, losing weight and all the symptoms that come with it.

Just in the last few days I am in the low of lows. When I was up I never
thought I would come down and how hard it would be. I am
feeling that everything is a chore, guilt, hoplessness, I can go on and on.
I am on the verge of tears all the time.

Just want to know if anyone can relate and how you get through
the depression. What meds that might have helped. I have called
my therapist but have not got through yet. My next appt. is Weds.

Thanks for reading.
Helene
