I'm still miserable. Depressed & falling asleep on the couch. I don't think I can be on seroquel anymore, it's just too sedating. I see my pdoc Monday so I'm hoping I can find a good alternative to seroquel.

I haven't slept since thurs night and I'm having stomach issues. I am so damn anxious.

Haven't sleep this well in months.

I'm still a bit on the hypo side. Must be the imminent arrival of Spring and the lengthening days, which never fail to boost my mood even when I don't need the help, LOL.

What gets me is the amount of literary effort I've been producing lately.....I don't think I've EVER had this many ideas all at once. I wrote three long essays in the past two days and six in the past month for my nursing website, which actually pays me to write for them. I've never done that before! And I'm not even manic---maybe it's just that my Muse has taken a major dump on my head and the creativity is surging along with the signs of the coming warm months. At any rate, I'll take it......a year ago I couldn't even make out a decent grocery list, let alone write.

Hi I'm new here. I have bipolar2 and I'm feeling really sad. Hopefully it won't last too long. I tend to cycle rather quickly. I know it is the illness that is making me feel this way and that knowledge helps me not to do anything silly.

Hi Sarahfriend,
Welcome to PC! Hope you find what you need here. It's helpful seeing/reading that we are not alone.
Wishing you all the best,
Spirit

Overall I suppose I am not too terribly down, but down nonetheless.
I prefer my exaggerated sense of well being even though I am quite forgetful that way...I just keep living in fast forward and then wham-o something hits me I forgot to do (like I was all excited to get my new place and totally forgot to call the power company to switch power and ended up in the dark for a while..bug duh on my part!) and then I tumble, stop, brush off, and I'm off again.
I suppose it has its advantages...beats the heck out of sleeping all the time...doesn't it? LOL

I'm here !!!!!

Hey hope everyone is doing good!! I am doing good this month in relation to bipolar mood swings and I am staying relatively happy!! I unfortunately have been suffering from severe anxiety this month following severe anxiety the last year and a half. . the anxiety is a diagnosis along with bipolar, or so I read!! I think that it can be dealt with though! I do run into walls with my bipolar anxiety despite using all of my resources, I wondered if any of you have any suggestions toward helping with the anxiety?

Hanging in......Pain and concerns are making my depression worse. For some reason the end to March tends to be a rough time for me.

Not doing too bad...the ex decided to dump on me again and I was surprised how well I handled it. Usually I would spiral out of control but now it seems as if I almost give it a cold shoulder. I mean I care about all the trouble and hurt I caused her, but she can beat that dead horse all she wants now...I seem to be ok with it.
Took my daughter to the park with her dog and we had a blast...so BPD2 is most definitely in check...but I must be a little hypo cause I didn't sleep at all this evening before work and I was not even close to tired.

not doing too bad here.

still no closer to figuring out what i want out of life, but their's been no major explotions in the last week..

[Melmo]

I'm so wired today! Just buzzing with energy with very little sleep last night. What's up with that?!

[Ryuguu_Rena]

Been pretty agitated since yesterday. I've had so many urges to scream and punch things. But- I guess it's good to know that I've held back.

[Victoria'smom]

Starting to worry pdoc is going to try to tear me down back to baseline.

[rossiv46]

thinking or comtemplating med change. My AD doesn't seem to be helping. Im so depressed it is hard just to get out of bed.

[Moreta]

OK day today. I did my therapy homework and felt a bit silly though. Instead of worrying about things all day, I'm supposed to schedule 2 times a day to worry for 10 mins....we'll see how it goes.

[~Christina]

Moreta, Let me know how that goes .. interesting idea

i've had the day from hell,

everything today i've said, or done, seemed to have been the wrong thing- ugg

then to top it all off, remember ages ago i posted about that site that i was worried about getting banned from?

well.. 1 of the moderators anounced to everyone online i had multiple personalities, which is not true- and caused me to write an angry email to the administration team

in fact: i can't think of a single thing that went right today

[hentaywee]

Thought the day started out okay, but it spiraled downhill this afternoon. The ex showing up in a new car, to pick up our son, was the trigger. We're both "supposedly" in the same financial crisis as the other. And I hear the complaints about hours, income etc. Yet he says his fiancee isn't helping him out. I lost it and spoke my mind this time.

I hate how people can use others, ruin their lives, and turn around and keep repeating the same thing. Yet they deny the whole thing. And my son is a victim in the middle of all this until we get the damn custody paperwork updated over the next few months

[Cocosurviving]

Weather: flip flopping
Went to Support group and had a ok meeting. Later in the day I was blessed with something free from my Doctor. The timing was perfect. Overall +C
Mood: anxious

I want to be helpful to other people, but I'm too entangled in my own **** and anxiety today. I'll hand out hugs instead. I have given up fixing my addiction, I'm losing my place in the therapy program anyway. I skipped therapy this week because I'm paranoid at T and the group. I've decided not to start meds again, I'm fine like this. I've also decided to stay alive, but on my own terms. I'm not going to talk to mom and dad for months and if T sends me somewhere I don't want to be I won't give a ****. That's going to be my motto - I don't give a ****.

today is starting out good so far

little warmer outside too... it even thundered yesterday- that's very rare for where i live

BPD2 seems to be back in check after some ups and mainly downs.
I feel pretty good, somewhat confident in myself again..have not felt that way in
I am not going to get much sleep today, gotta pick up my daughter from school and then take her to her kids event/party at Church tonight...no rest inbetween. Ugh.
