Tired

I'm so tired of my mood swings of being super happy one moment then super sad the next. I just really want this to stop. I know I'm not on the right kind of meds right now because I still need to see my psychiatrist for the first time to get me off my current meds & on the right meds. I have just been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder. At times I hate myself & start thinking what would happen if I just took all these pills & died. But then I snap out of it & get grip of myself. I'm constantly worrying & obsessing about everything. My anxiety never gives me a break except when I'm asleep. I just feel so alone right now even though I'm not. I have a supportive family & boyfriend but I want to just feel better & stop feeling like crap all the time.

Hang in there. It may take a while to get the right combination of meds that will help get you back to normal. While you are waiting I would suggest finding a good therapist to help you get perspective on the illness.

Good luck.

I feel the same way sometimes. Sorry. I hope you feel better soon.

I've been on a similar roller coaster of moods for the past couple of months. I think I'm finally feeling relief. It indeed takes patience to have that cocktail mixed correctly. Hang in there, it will get better.

Hang in there. We can relate and are here to support you. xo

Don't hate yourself. I feel it's useless to go on many times, but it really isn't: once you see some improvement, and that's bound to happen, it is so liberating, it's like being rewarded for your struggles. And the struggle makes us stronger.

Try to focus on small improvements, any improvements in functioning, anything small you accomplished. And try to keep it up while looking for the next small improvement. Doesn't matter if things get worse, as long as you try to improve, one small step after another.

Hope you feel better soon.

I have the same problem. I think it would help us all if we knew what it was called so we can read up on it. Is it a mixed episode, rapid cycling, or something else?

Ultradian cycling, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you very much to everyone for being there for me for support. I am doing better but my psych doc has had to move me up on my mood stabilizers and my OCD medication. I can still tell that I am having Moodswings but it is better.

This is crazy, I just made a post saying the same thing not knowing it was coming for me too
