Doing ok. I'm tired and irritated. Everything is adding to my irritation. Its supposed to get up to 80+ degrees today. I'm not looking forward to it. I overheat to easily. Work this morning which had increased my stress level. Can I take a nap yet?

After experiencing a somewhat elevated mood Monday and yesterday - - in the morning in particular - - I'm back to being pretty down in the dumps. Just am not looking forward to the day and feel bored/useless.

This is the second day in a row my daughter has been with me since she moved in with me. I am more relaxed and confident that this just may work out for me with my mother.

Was really down for the last few weeks...like a zombie, according to my wife, AND, though she never commands me to do anything unless it's really really important, she made me call my pdoc, it was that bad. So I called him and they are sending a script for Zoloft to the pharmacy for me....

So, maybe between the anti-depressant and the gabapentin (which works a little to control my rages) I think might be alright...assuming all goes well with Zoloft.

So today on the internets i have been called fat, insensitive, angry, a dummy and a fascist!

My day is now complete.

Yesterday was horrible. Probably should've let me husband take me to the hospital, but since I've never been, it scares me to death.

I was so sick of my roommates watching tv from morning til night every day 24/7 that I ran the vacuum while they sat on the couch in front of the umpteenth show around 10 pm.

They got the hint, turned off the boob tube and went into their rooms.

Sometimes, being *****y is the only way to get some peace and quiet around here. I'm not usually so rude but I was too exhausted to initiate "effective communication strategies". I just didn't have it in me today.

You can now also say you've been called smart, thoughtful, caring, and insightful! If it makes you feel any better,I could call you an anarchist...that's kind of the opposite of a fascist.

Smart/insightful can be the same thing...oops for saying it twice...

Hope your day gets better!

After yesterday's bad news from the doctor, I could not fall asleep. I'm going on vacation tomorrow morning. I feel paralyzed. Haven't finished packing and I am so tired. We leave for the airport by 6am, so I have to finish everything tonight. I really am so depressed I wish we weren't going on holiday.

[PoorPrincess]

Am better today, yay, a start

Wow! I'm sorry that happened to you.

Today started off real crappy when I got in a "conflict" with my husband over some of my communication methods and behaviors that result from this seemingly never-ending depressive phase. Things picked up soon after when I got a voicemail from a staffing agency about a potential paralegal job. I'm patiently awaiting for them to return my call now!

So, still in depression, but hopeful about this possible job.

Today I wish I never woke up, I just want to go back to sleep again. Feeling awful and alone... man I want to cry so bad but no tears will come to me right now.

[Standup2me]

When I woke up this morning I told myself that I would
clean a bunch of the clutter in my office

So far, doing well

I am new to this site and was given the diagnosis of Bipolar in the early 80's.I was taken off all my old meds a month ago and put on Fetzima and Quetiapine.I am doing good at the moment,no more depression.I am hovering around hypermania,which I love.My Pdoc is watching me closely.I like my new Pdoc,He and I seem to hit it off good together.The only thing bad about Fetzima is the male sexual side effects,not good.I am not seeing anybody right now,so I don't care.

Welcome to the thread. I was on fetzima for a few months and it made me really mean, which is completely against my personality. I loved it at first because I was so manic in a good way for about 6 weeks, then the agitation set in and I felt my skin crawling constantly. So, I decided to cut it in half. (I was on 80mg). On the second day of the half dose I attempted suicide and was taken against my will to the hospital for the first time ever. It's a powerful drug. I miss it sometimes- I'm back on zoloft now and so down. I miss the mania so much. I just wanted to let you know so you are careful- I know everyone reacts differently. Best of luck to you.

Was going way too manic and not sleeping well which then makes me more manic and mixed.. Then I get irritable... Finally broke down and took Zyprexa in addition to the lithium and Prozac ... Chilled me out ... I'm much more stable today. Sheeesh glad I didn't wait any longer... I hate being manic. I'm not a productive manic ... I'm scatter-brained and nervous. Everything bothers me. I'm much better now. Just tired.

Hey everyone elpablo here with plenty of unhealthy bipolar symptoms I am coping I think it helps to say I love you
I love you guys don't do anything crazy or self medicate because that sucks worse than the disorder

I had a huge fight with my dad. I hate him so much. I want to die but I'm stable enough to not do anything. I've had to resist some major urges to SI but so far I've done well. I just want to punish myself and never wake up.

Low energy today. Im not sad but very little energy and motivation. I pushed myself to clean the house so at least I accomplished that. I need to go and do some more stuff at work but it is very physical. I feel lightheaded and weak. I went on a huge food binge the last two days, while I have kept up with vegies I have eaten an awful lot of chocolate.

I was so busy last week and now that has stopped. I still have a lot to do to keep me busy but this week it all seems too hard. I want the energy and motivation back, that was fun! And it wasnt hypomania. It was just a good stable mood. I cant wait until I go back to that.

I am trying a few things to get me out of this depression, but it seems with it being hormone related that I just have to wait it out.

calm down bro the peace you seek is near talk to a doctor and have faith that in america you can make your way

finally out the hospital and posting here again.

still not feeling that good at all, but it is good to be back on here

[Hbomb0903]

Lost my job. Feel okay. My mood seems to have become more stable, but I don't feel great about how things went down losing my job. It's because of my own spaciness and I don't blame them but I liked my coworkers.
