10 days ago, I was feeling great. So great, in fact, that sleep became optional. Sure as clockwork, I have crashed. My pdoc upped my abilify and suggested I consider the hospital as I'm struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Just need support I guess. This too shall pass, but right now it all seems like crap. |

sorry to hear... it is inevitable - but it doesn't make it any easier... hope the drugs kick in soon...
you are right to remember that it will pass and that there is hope... wish there was more that I could do or say... I will be praying for you...

I'm glad your pdoc was able to react quickly.
Keep yourself surround with people and do things you enjoy; keep busy and you will find those sui thoughts become less. We all know the inevitable crash, but we come out the other side stronger. With your support system and us, you know you can do this xx

It ain't fair that we have to pay for wonderful hypomania with dull depression. I hope your depressions don't stay this bad for long. As for the suicidal thoughts...as part of your self- care you know that if your making a plan you need to go to the hospital, but when my doc up my abilify it worked really fast. I hope it does the same for you. |

Thanks everyone. I made it through the night. Not sleeping much though so the nights seem endless. I see my therapist again today, so I have someone to touch base with.

Oh farmergirl!
Crashes are just so....ugh! Glad you have an appt. with your T today -- being able to touch base can sure be a relief at such times. Agree with blueoctober, make sure to get yourself to a hospital if the T visit doesn't help enough and you feel in danger. Not sleeping much sure doesn't help -- hope you are able to start getting more soon...
