I was in a complete manic state all day long, it was so bad I could hardly function at work and one of my coworkers asked if I needed some kind of meds (little did she know how true it was). I felt this way all the way till 5 when all of a sudden I was so down the only thing I could think about was hurting myself.... during this episode my mom was frustrated and said find go kill your self then I wont have to deal with you anymore.
This is probably the worst thing anyone has ever said to me and my response was never test someone who thinks about it all the time. She later said she does not believe that I would ever do it and that she was just frustrated with my behavior. I don't know how to control myself during these episodes they switched my meds yesterday to Abilify and I have heard good things but it was too soon to stop me from performing SH so I could regain control. I feel so lost and so hopeless right now and I I know my son deserves someone more stable but I don't think I will ever be that. |

wow, now that is a crash. Hang in there and get help, but this is likely temporary. Has this ever happened before? The dramatic swing in one day?

I have had crashes like this before but never this bad. But I had an allergic reaction to the meds they had me on and then went 6 days with nothing.

This has happened to me many times. It is a truly awful experience. I am sorry to hear you have to go through this. Does your pdoc know about these swift swings in mood? Is the Abilify supposed to help with it? My pdoc is having trouble controlling mine I just had a med change because my rapid cycling has been getting worse. Hang in there. There is hope.

I'm so sorry, crashes are horrible. I hope the abilify helps you. It's been the best med for me, haven't had a crash since, even though I've had some mania.

Do you feel like it makes the mania worse? I've only been on it a few days and I want to jump out of my skin

It didn't make the mania worse, but I think it made the anxiety worse for a short time. That effect wore off.
