bipolar

1

When I’m at work, I dread being at home. I do everything I can to not have to go home. When I’m at home, I just want to go to sleep so the next day comes. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and depression and am currently undergoing treatment for both. Any ideas?

I have anxiety attacks and sometimes have to go to the hospital for stroke like symptoms.. numbness, tunnel vision, black outs, cold/hot sweat, weakness etc. I finally figured out that it was my anxiety. but the last time it happened I was on bipolar meds and my hubby rushed me to the er because he said my lips were blue. it’s pretty scary. can I die from this if I didn’t have meds for it?

Someone close to me has been battling depression for 17 years now. She is doing a good job, has held on to a demanding job for 4 years now. Though her performance at work are highly erratic. Periods of poor apathetic performance interspersed with periods of high performance.

She shows sympotm of chronic depression, withdraws from social life, has low energy, can spend days in bed, is messy etc.She’s on medication too.

I fear that the next phase will be schizoprenia. She’s 32 now and has been suffering from depression since she was 15.
Though I said her performance at work is erratic, i dont think it is suggestive of bipolar. She has been fired once before for apathy at work. Since then she is scared to lose her job. When her poor performance at work gets noticable and she thinks her job is in danger,she bucks up and works harder.

And she cannot unfortunately retire from work. She lives in a country that dosen’t give benefits. And her aged parents cannot take care of her. She has to earn her living. She would very much like to reyire or atlease work part time, but is unable to do so.

    I have been suffering from Bipolar depression for several years now…somewhere around 10 years. The doctor has put me on several different medications that caused me more issues (weight gain, fatigue and other stuff like that) that I could not handle. I have not been on medicine since I had my son 2 years ago. Things seem to be getting worse lately with all the stress that has been added since my wedding in May. I have an appointment with my doctor today to try to get something to help me. It has gotten to the boilling point where I can see my condition hurting my family. Anyone have any suggestions on what medications worked good for you or someone you know? Or any other comments for me…please don’t be negative..that is not going to help me at all..it will only make it worse.
    I agree with all of you. I appreciate soo much your suggestions or words of support for me. It helps.

    Bill – you are right, I am lacking self-confidence but I have had that problem all of my life. It’s not something I can just snap out of by myself. I almost wonder if at times I need people around me that feel like I do so that we can support each other…I am too embarrased most the time to tell anyone about my problems.
