 I started feeling depressed several days ago. I chalked it up to needing more sleep, my mother in law being extremely ill and in the ICU and money issues we're having. It's gotten significantly worst over the past day or two. At this point I just want to crawl into bed, cry and sleep. I have pretty much no appetite. The only bright spot in my day is my kids and husband. He knows I'm down but doesn't know how bad. I don't want to tell him because of stuff going on with his mom and work. I absolutely cannot go into the hospital. We can't afford it and my husband absolutely does not need the stress. I was supposed to increase my Seroquel and I haven't because I haven't been able to risk being really groggy because of my husband never being here the past week. I'm going to start using a stationary bike to help strengthen my knee--I tore the carlidge in it last year and it's giving me a fit--and I'm hoping the exercise will help. I've started doing Atkins after reading articles on PubMed that indicate it has been proven to help bipolar. I'm hoping those things will resolve all of this but I keep wondering if I should call my psych and see if she wants to increase my Wellbutrin. I'm scared and worried sick about what to do and how to handle this on my own. I guess I'm just asking for prayers and positive thoughts. I really, really, really need to get through this without going into the hospital or ending up pretty much paralyzed by depression.

Praying for you too. I think you should let your pdoc know how you are feeling.

Holding you up in prayer.
Depression is so hard and when you have a lot of stress it seems like you will never get above water again. |

when i used to feel this way i called my pdoc and therapist. with their help and sometimes tweaking my meds helped. in order to take care for others i first needed to take care of myself. if i didn't address the depression i would only get worse and then i couldn't even take care of myself.
hope this helps and you contact your MH team.

Echo madigram's coping plan to the letter. Exactly what I do and it works for me. Please get on the phone, Becca, if you haven't already.
You haven't posted on this thread for awhile. Is this now the "hurt myself" threat link? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
