The past week or so I have been dealing with EXTREME ups and downs. My emotions and thoughts are like being on a roller coaster and not strapped in. Bouncing from one end to the other. I get "thoughts", I won't say what because I don't want to trigger anyone. Then I feel like I can run a marathon and can't sit still. Then I want to do nothing at all. I'm tired of living every day like this. My doctor is a joke. I'm currently working on finding someone else. I guess I just want to know that I'm not alone.

well i dont know how many people have bipolar on this thread, but i would guess that most of them can identify with what you have expressed here......i am currently in a mixed cycle, thank god not to this extreme, but i have been stable for years now. it takes a good doctor (so keep looking) and really being able to advocate for yourself. it took me years to find the right med mix. i wouldnt tolerate side effects i didnt like and i wanted excellent results. i wouldnt accept close enough. but we finally found the right mix. my doctors hated me but i didnt care. hang in there. it is possible to get better.

I'm right there with you. Over the weekend I was up over 50 hours, then I slept like 19 hours. Tried to have a normal day yesterday, but was in the dumps and on the verge of tears most of the day. Slept 9 hours last night and woke in a murderous rage this morning. I've always been a rapid cycler, the older I get, the harder it is on my body and mind.
 Hang in there, you are most definitely not alone

Before noticing your post I just started a thread on sudden mood switching so you certainly are not alone(sorry to double up on threads!). It is torture some times to swing that quickly. My pdoc is excellent but even he is struggling to keep me stable but the treatment has certainly helped me little by little. I hope you soon find a psychiatrist who can help your cycles slow down and become less extreme.Hang in there. There is hope.

In the past I've dealt with going up and down but right now I'm just dealing with down and irritable, you are not alone.

I think we all have felt like that. It's tough but hopefully you will find a doctor that will help you find some stability and happiness.

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