I have my mother in an assisted living facility. My nightmarish life may be coming to an end. But I am a nervous wreck constantly thinking of what can go wrong now. I have been expecting the facility to call me up any time now, telling me to come get my mother. I really hope this will not be the case.
I have not been managing my symptoms of BP for some time now. I am a wreck. It has felt like an unending, year long episode of deep depression. Now that I should be happy, I feel even more stress and depressed. This does not make sense to me. I am also afraid of going hypomanic one I feel my burden lift from my shoulders. What do you think I should do? Tucson

Do you have a psychiatrist? Definitely a time for discussion with them if you're concerned about currently being in a depression and fearing hypo/mania.

Talking to a pdoc or a T would help. Maybe get involved with something.

Do you think it is all the built-up stress coming out? I know sometimes I feel worse after ending a stressful thing because I make myself suppress so many feelings when things are hard. It does sound like a therapist might help.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
