I stayed home today, just couldn't face the world. Now I'm feeling guilty and worthless. I feel like I disappoint everyone in my life. I don't clean, I rarely cook and I struggle to keep up at work...now I'm home today and will be behind again. I'm tired of this crap! I wish I could at least have a month of feeling somewhat normal and functional. My coping skills are nonexistent....something to work on for sure. Like I said feeling sorry for myself right now

I was at pdoc in Jan and go back in March....maybe I need to call, of course I was having a "good" day when I saw her last. I know we have room to go up on Lamictal. I tried a couple of months ago to get her to prescribe Wellbutrin and she wouldn't go for it. She was afraid I'd end up ip again.

Did you get manic from Wellbutrin before? It's been wonderful for me. (Minus the insomnia at first.)

I'm right there with you. Today has been a crap day. I've gotten nothing done; unmotivated and guilty. I don't even know what motivated means sometimes!
I would call your Pdoc. March is a long time to wait when you are feeling like this. I hope things get better!

Hi hopeless2015, You mentioned that you need to work on your coping skills. Do you have some ideas about what kind of skills that would help you?

I know what you mean re not going to work because I just don't feel I can face the world and then feeling guilty and worthless for doing that. I try to think of it as a 'mental health day,' that I needed it, so I don't feel guilty. And it's true, sometimes you may just need to stay wrapped up in blankets and not face the world. I get it. But feeling guilty and worthless can be a vicious cycle: feeling that way can make you feel like not going to work, going forward, even less. You deserve the time off, sometimes you just need it.

I hear you about feeling out of sorts. My psychiatrist has been adjusting my meds for a couple months now, and I haven't felt "normal" in a long while. Meds up, meds down, new meds, get rid of old ones. I try to accomplish a few things every day, so I can feel good about what I've done. If you've got a job, you're better off than me. It's refreshing to take a day off now and again, but you can't let your work slip. Being unemployed and homeless won't do you any good!

I am so sorry you are going through such pain. (((hugs))). It's horrible to feel worthless, guilty, and that you're letting people down. I've been down that road before, but remember that although you might feel that way, you are worth it and deserve happiness.
Also, you have us here that care. Please talk to your pdoc. Like I said, I've struggled with these same feelings intensely and still do, but a recent medication change gives me a little bit of relief. Keep in mind, it took about 6 months or longer to find any sense of relief. It definitely sounds like there's some work to do when it comes to getting the meds straight, and then it could become easier to use some of the coping skills. |

Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember that modern life places demands on everyone that are extremely unhealthy and unrealistic. Having BP makes meeting all of those demands even more absurd. You needed time to regroup and that was probably a wise decision. Congratulate yourself for knowing your limits and taking care of yourself first, because it's the most fundamental step to taking care of anything else. *hug*
