Hi, I just found this forum today while searching for Bipolar support groups. I have struggled with depression and anxiety issues for over a decade. I was diagnosed as type II Bipolar about two years ago. My son and I moved out on our own about a year ago and life was going great. So I stopped taking all of my medication, feeling good coupled with the high cost of filling the prescriptions for my medications led me to this decision. However, lately I have noticed that I have 2-3 nights a week where I don't sleep at all and when I do sleep, I manage to get about 3 hours of sleep a night. I find myself up scrubbing the walls or making chili at 3 00 AM. I am getting increasingly short tempered with my four-year-old. While I am going to be making an appointment with a doctor to get back on my medications and to start getting some actual sleep, I am looking for a group that offers encouragement, and support or that can answer questions I may have. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Hey there Thelittlethings86,
Glad you are going back to a Doctor to get back on meds. I am persuming your American? If so I can not help you there. But just wanted to let you know this community is great at helping each other out! |

Welcome to the board! I also have a four year old, as well as a seven year old and four month old. If you're not properly medicated dealing with little kids can be really, really, really hard. I know prescriptions can be expensive but the benefits are well worth it. You'll find lots of support here!

Welcome! I also was diagnosed with depression and anxiety before they finally figured out I was rapid cycling Bipolar II and had mixed episodes. This place is awesome and I am sure you will find lots of support here!
