It happens like every May.

I feel beautiful and special then I'm SO angry and irritable and wanna cry and wanna cut and stay in bed or just die. I go into an episode every may. Usually mixed.

I usually end up ip too

I'm so irritated

I'm so sorry. Are you safe right now? Do you have any early coping strategies you employ at times like this? It's terrible when you watch yourself fall apart. When you know it's happening but can't seem to stop it. (((Hugs)))
Thanks for this!

I hear you. I'm so sorry. I was sent IP against my will recently and I know how scary the thought is. Do you think you should consider IP or do you feel mostly safe right now?

It's okay to break down in his office. Ip may be best sooner rather than later. Stop it faster so your not toreturned more.

It is ok to break down in his office.Do you have a therapist you could call before the appointment. Could you write out the things that are upsetting to you and read them to him., maybe that would help you maintain composure???
I feel for you

He upped my sleep med and Ativan dose.

I was crying and he asked why and I said idk! He thinks bc I've only been taking one Ativan a day instead of three that it's causing my mood swings but idk. I just know I was doing great now I'm not. He asked if I felt safe going home. I am but my mind is giving me fits

Sorry you have to go through this. I get manic every June and am not looking forward to testing clozaril against that trend. I hope the med adjustments help you.

That makes sense. It sounds like you're experiencing withdrawals.

PAWS (Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome)

It says mood swings from mania to depression is one of the symptoms.

I hope the increase in Ativan and sleep meds works out for you
