I lived with anxiety and/depression most of my life. Hit a horrible depression about a year ago. SSRIs always helped in the past, but stopped helping. Finally, after 6 months of hell, I was diagnosed and given Lamictal. DIC says I've always been BP..NO WAY!! The BP ups and downs and this ****** roller coaster is all new to me

Ive been having my first mezed episode the last couple days. If that's not a huge punch in the face, I don't know what is!!

This is real. It's a struggle every single day.

This is an awful thing.!

Yeah, mixed episodes are tough. I agree it's a struggle everyday.

I hope this episode passes soon for you! Hang in there.

I feel ya on the mixed episodes because I had been dealing with them alot last year. Now I seem to have gone into rapid cycle mode. This roller coaster is full of twists and turns and I just wanna get off.

Weeeee rapid cycling. I hate it. Funny thing about BP is that it doesn't stay the same. Just when you think you have it figured out it changes.

It is a never ending cycle, that's for sure.
