It's so sudden. I feel like I'm trapped inside my own skin!! I feel like I have to do something but I can't even focus on what i should be or want to be doing. I am obsessing on my relationship and taxing it. I can't stand to just be!!!! I don't know what to do and I truly feel nuts right now. Just threw all my dirty clothes at the wall in anger and looking for release and was screaming from frustration.

I am scared!!!! This is unbearable!!! I don't know where else to go but here???! No one can help me anyway because I have to help myself???? Oh my gosh this is unbearable.

How can I function in my life like this???? I have **** to do tomorrow!!!!! It's not fair and this sucks sucks sucks..... can't stop having tearful moments.

Mixed!!!! Mixed episode! They are the worst. If you are unwilling to go to the ER, I would take two Benadryl as needed. It will help you slow down. Just two though. You need to contact your pdoc immediately. I know it's the weekend which is why I recommend ER.

Stay talking on here too. It will help. Just keep posting to the same thread.

thinking of you!!

Sounds like you are very agitated and depressed. How long has this been going on? I went through only a few days like this before I really felt I would lose it. The only thing that kept me out of the hospital is there would be no one to take care of my demented mother. Then the episode passed. It was quite hairy driving during this time,

Hang in there for a few days. If you still feel like you are going to go over a cliff, go to to the nearest hospital I wish you well!

I've been feeling the slide for 3 days. I literally watched myself go over the cliff this afternoon. Its insane. I was raging, then crying, then raging.... now just tearful. My best support came over since she happened to be in town and her presence helped. I'm just so frustrated. I so want to be stable. This is the worst I've felt in a while and it just came on like a train.

It has to be from the lamictal. Nothing else has changed. Im calmer now, but that scared stuck panicky feeling remains. I hate this so much. I want to be stable. Stable stable stable... stability stability stability. Anyone know how long it takes to get the lamictal out of your system after being on in 3 weeks??

I've been taking little bits on my benzo about every 6 hours. Usually only take at night to sleep.

My first psychiatrist used to prescribe me a higher dose benzo PRN to knock me on my butt when this kind of thing happened. Are you seeing your pdoc soon?

It will take 125 hours to get totally out of your system (5 half lives, 25 hours each), But just washing out the drug may not fix this. When can you see your pdoc?

When I get similar feelings to what you are describing, it is a free-floating anxiety. Call your Pdoc and ask for something that will calm anxiety. I felt that way just a few weeks ago. I was in a mixed state, and had severe anxiety. Listen to your self-talk. Often that will trigger anxiety. If you have a T, it would be wise to discuss all of this in session.

I went off Lamictal recently because it sent me over the edge into a terrible state of angst (anxiety/fear/dread). Fortunately, the stuff seemed to leave my system pretty quickly.

I just don't know what to do with myself. I feel completely off the wall and alienated from normalcy. My boyfriend tells me I'm dwelling on it and making it worse but it seems like I'm driven by these thoughts and just this underlying unease and fear.

I don't know how to cope with this productively!!!

I got most of my people in my life worried about me because at 3:00 am I "had" to go to my boyfriend's house because I was just so agitated and afraid to just be alone. I spent till now there, but he's having a hard time coping with me coping with myself. I feel like I have to to turn this around but feel stuck and mixed up.

I can relate to this I have been mulling about my predicament. I woke up very depressed. I do not know what to do with myself. But my daughter is here cleaning my house. So I am not alone.

Hang in there!

I came up an hour north to spend some time with my mom. Went and visited family last night as well. I'm just so frustrated. I feel like maybe my 3-4 weeks of "normalcy" may have been slightly hypo. My boyfriend said he thought I was all over the place and needed to slow down and focus on less things, so that sounds hypo.

Got another doc appt May 7. I just still feel the underlying panicky feeling and like I'm scared of the world and afraid I won't be able to cope. Frustration is the keyword right now. I'm just so tired of this roller coaster.

Feel like I'm watching the normal world go by, trapped inside my messed up head.

I have an appointment on the 7th and called them this weekend. They left a message with my pdoc and I'm waiting on a call back.

I feel if I had a way that I'd have the balls, I would rather just be done with this all. I haven't felt like this in a long time. It's scary.

does sound like a mixed state. It is rough. Try a hot bath, going for a walk--some sort of calming thing that you enjoy. It will pass even tho' you can't imagine it will

we care about you! let us know how it is going

But we have to stick together so we can be the people that understand each other. I have the same thoughts. But we can't go anywhere. I'm hanging in and you are too as are so many of us on here.

I too have my pdoc app on the 7th.

You are not alone. When I know I have appts or what not, makes me so anxious and really feel like death is best for me most days. And then there is maybe one day where I feel semi-normal. Not too many of those days yet, so I have that feeling to feel good about, knowing it's not EVERY stinking day of misery for me. I feel like I am the only person who feels this way. No one else gets it. They all get up at 6 am to start their awesome fun day ugh. Hate them all sometimes! I blame Facebook lol

I'm just so frustrated because I was functioning. Well. For almost a month. And now I just feel like less than everyone else again and that I can't cope with life.

Although I got a bunch of stuff done today, I feel empty and flat and just over it. Pdoc appt tomorrow. Trying to be positive despite the lack of emotion.
