Are you happy with your current situation, BP wise?

Is treatment going okay or not? Have you been having lots of episodes? Things like that.

Just doing a check in

I'm rapid cycling, so I guess I haven't been doing so well lately in that regard... But I have been making progress with my medication. Namely, I'm not as depressed when I get depressed, and I'm not as manic when I'm manic.

I'm doing okay BP wise. I wish some of the anxiety would go away, but that is another issue.

No I'm not happy with it right now. I've not gone far enough with treatment to make any difference yet (between T's right now). I'm not on medication either, and not entirely sure what my worst problem is right now, as I've been dissociating. I'm just trying to sleep every day to keep mania from getting out of hand, having to knock myself out sometimes. And I'm realizing my psychosis is around much more than I thought. That's about all I know right now.

I'm relatively content. No more hallucinations, small bit of depression and lack of motivation but I can handle that much easier than my usual suicidal depressions!

Happy with my t and pdoc.

I'm feeling the best I've felt in at least a few weeks. Not sure if it's meds or not since I'm in the middle of transitioning to a new pdoc. I'm also thinking maybe I'm getting into a hypomanic mood just based on a few symptoms I've been experiencing.

I'm still missing a lot of work with depression....I think I have some situational things aggravating things right now and I need to use my coping skills more. Don't think my bp has gotten worse though

No. The details are tedious to explain, but basically, my provider/care situation has become a cluster****.

I was doing quite well despite this for quite awhile. Now I have tanked. Hopeless depression interspersed with agitated depression. And I don't know what to do. The past 2 days I've known I really should go to the ER, but just keep knocking myself out. Not good, I know.

Lately I've started shifting a bit having some racing thoughts. I'm a little nervous abt daylight savings approaching I'm affected by it. I have started looking into the SAD lights. I have an appointment with my pdoc and case manager soon. I'm just really nervous right now

I was worried about going manic because I was having strange ideas but I made myself sleep a lot over the weekend and I think I am ok. Been moody lately. Not really mania and not severe depression, just moody and thinking about things that upset me.

Don't know what my pdoc is going to do with my meds. There's going to be a lot of changes this month with me going on insulin and possibly going off tegretol. Just have to see how everything goes I guess.

no.

3 big things that i'm struggling with at the moment are:

1. feeling suicidal (again)

2. poor treatment

3. lack of sleep

I'd say stigma, but that comes naturally with it- like the package.

not happy outside MI situation either. just at what's known as a dead end in life

I feel like I'm slipping back into depression after I thought it was clearing up. My anxiety has been off the charts and I don't see my psychiatrist until November 7th. All the DBT skills in the world aren't helping right now...
