I'm new. So, hello and thank you for having me. I've been actually pretty good for a few weeks considering the fact that I'm facing multiple severe stressors. Got a new job, hit a snag with it, and my mood has crashed.

Welcome!! Sorry to hear you're having a rough time right now but it is great that you are still pretty good. Hope things work out with your new job. Post a thread anytime you feel the need.

Saw my pdoc yesterday at the county clinic, they've changed things and its much harder to get appointments. She thinking of leaving and going back to private practice...she misses doing therapy and doesn't like the 10 minuet med consults. She said she'd accept my insurance if she did that and see me. That would be great.

Freaked out this morning unable to work because of depression. Now I'm ok. Why can't my moods be more even so that I don't contact my pdoc in a panic all the time?!
But then again, maybe this will happen another time, it has before. So maybe something really does need to changed.

Been doing pretty well lately. Lot of room for improvement but definitely doing better now. Trying to improve my outlook on things and get back to living my life. Haven't been the same since my bad episode 4 years ago and being diagnosed. Feel very ready to put it all behind me now.

I'm more tired than usual, I'm in my room more, my house is a mess. I would like to say because I started my cycle this week it might be because of that. But I feel as if this has been going on a while. I'm just so tired of these mood swings. I would (obviously) just like some stability. So I just got the email from my pdoc that she sent in a prescription to the pharmacy for an increase in Lamictal to 150mgs. I hope this works. I'm just over this.

I'm tired and depressed, but still here.

barely anything to report.

got through valentines (really lonely and depressing time) especially since most people i know, or speak too, have a valentine- and i don't.. and it kind of defeats the object of the day

had some pancakes during pancake day (which were actually not bad), seeing as for the first time in years i actually got them right (success!)

weather's been cold, but summer depression has all ready started (despite summer not being for another few months)

started a new book, " be carefull what you wish for", still not sleeping, you know.. all the usual stuff. barely anything ever happens in my life

[bipolar angel]

Hanging in there..having weird few weeks..work stress, paying bills/clean house/care of kids life stress..feels some pedpreesion but manageablw-more like what do I do with my life/no energy to get up deep clean/reorganize house-but need to do it. Anxiety over work,but what I call normal worry...weird possible hypomania,just want watch tv try to relax,no energy to try my exercise dvds...wake up 2-3x%night,catch myself craving carbs,eating cookies but not really hungry more like overeating!not something I really did in past...just want start life again but can't seem motivated. Still doing all I need to do,work,pay bills,care for kids,go to therapy,take meds,etc..just feel stuck,I guess. Thanks for reading my rant

[TryingToMoveForward]

Feeling tired...like there isn't enough caffeine in the world that makes me feel awake. LOL. I have no idea why. A couple of nights ago I was bouncing off the wall. Then did EMDR therapy yesterday and I struggled keeping up at work even though I had a Monster energy drink. I work 8pm-1am tonight. I might take a nap, but sleeping during the day is so difficult for me.

Hope everyone is doing well.

[scatterbrained04]

Still doing pretty well. Trying to get my life back in order. I think I'm moving baby steps in the right direction. It's been a long 4 years, and I feel I've missed out on a lot of fun I could have been having with my son...

Today I've gotten some cleaning done. For goodness sake, I've GOT to get my Christmas stuff down later. We went to McDonald's for lunch. Then we went to the thrift store. Found my son 3 pairs of much needed bigger pants. Hope they all fit ok. Stopped by the grocery store and used a $25 gift card. Got stuff to cook nice breakfast in the morning. Weather is beautiful. It's 66F out. Last Saturday it was 13 lol. Trying to get my kiddo to go for a walk, but I seem to be losing.

Hi everyone, I'm not really new to psych central, I just haven't posted since 2012, as I was dealing with untreated bipolar 1 and PTSD. So I'm back, still may not post too much idk yet, but just looking for support as I'm starting treatment up again for the first time in 4yrs.

[Nammu]

been *****y the last few days

[gina_re]

I have not had any energy to do anything lately. I do the bare minimum. I'd rather be in bed most of the time. I asked my sister earlier in the week if she wanted to come shopping with me, and she agreed to go Saturday. So Saturday comes and I am just not trying to get up but she called asking when I was coming. But I actually really like hanging out with her lately. My relationship with my sister has grown, especially since she's been pregnant. So I force myself to get up, shower and drive up to her place. I did so much shopping (thanks tax refund!). But I figured I deserve it since I rarely shop for myself, I'm kind of a tomboy and don't really like to shop that much anyhow. At any rate, we got a lot of shopping get done and I have everything I need so I shouldn't look like a bum anymore. I'm so exhausted, but I had a good time, so I guess it was worth it. I should sleep so good tonight!

I'm very depressed still. And for stupid things. But I'm on the right side of the grass.

[OctobersBlackRose]

I feel really irritable today, was and still am kind of energetic, but some meds I took and chemicals got to me after cleaning my tub out and I slept for about an hour or so. But still, trying not to start or instigate fights or arguments with my grandparents (whom I live with, I can't live on my own), so far only one argument over drain cleaner. Also I'm having paranoid thoughts I can't shake at all...

[Nammu]

Lots of things are making me irritable lately.

[Open_Book]

Feeling a little better since back on Cymbalta. Still not in the mood to do much but trying. Talked myself out of everything this weekend. Did go to church but only because I had to.

I'm not feeling well. Got serious stomach problems and cold hands and feet.
It may be the Lithium. I'm cutting it to 600 mg once a day from 900.
I'm also stopping all supplements until I feel better.
It's a shame, because today is the NAMI meeting and I wanted to go.

[OctobersBlackRose]

Still having paranoid/delusional thoughts, very agitated, and irritable, trying not to have an outburst, not sleeping well at all, I want to lay down, but have energy idk if I'm depressed or going hypomanic/manic or a mixed state. Been seeing shadow people, and hearing faint voices, nothing I can make out, more like whispers. I also kind of want to hurt myself, but really trying hard to control those thoughts, Inhave a psych appointment Wednesday, so hoping the thoughts subside by then. I don't know, I just don't know...

[gina_re]

I had two days where I felt wonderful and thought to myself, maybe this increase in my Lamictal is doing something. But then again, this weekend I was out and about spending a chunk of my tax refund. And I know changes in a dosage shouldn't really be that quick (I upped it from 100 to 150mgs on Friday). I felt fine this morning as I started to work. I was a little tired, so I drank half a soda (I learned the hard way that I can no longer tolerate a lot of caffeine) to stay alert. But as the day goes on, my anxiety is starting to go up. I feel overwhelmed with what I have to get done. I really need to do my laundry. It's to the point where I don't have many clothes left to wear. I'm tired and want the workday to end so I can go back to bed. My house is a mess and has been that way for at least a month. I'm feeling sad again. I'm so frustrated with this nonsense and want to feel "normal" again...

[gina_re]

I'm experiencing bad anxiety on top of my depressed state. I'm so glad I don't have to go into the office tomorrow. Hopefully I can calm down.

Falling a bit into depression and having on going problems
