My therapist thinks I’m bipolar. Before I saw her my pcp had me on Lexapro. I changed overtime in a similar way. I started drinking regularly and heavily. Spent the night in jail… Ended up tapering off Lexapro without talking to the doc about it. And I am much calmer. My therapist told me that with bipolar ssris have a tendency to make it worse. I had thought the Lexapro was working in the begining but idk… It just put me in the fucked up state of willing to fight over anything. And it all falls apart because then people start hating you.

Nope I’m pissed about the downvote too. I get the rage, I have been dealing that and we’ve been tweaking my meds for a few months now. I’ve gotten snippy at work with my boss the last month, especially Friday. Like fireable rage I said NO to her. Oops. I’m sorry you are having such a problem with the VA. The one here is phenomenal which my dad goes to, but I have read horror stories about others especially with mental health. That’s not right. I don’t get the fun mania either, it’s all rage. Lost my last marriage because of it (undiagnosed therefore self medicated)

Geodon changed my life in less than 48 hours. It’s amazing what can be done with the correct diagnosis. Be aware that lots of mental health meds cause weight gain… I’ve been struggling the last six months especially trying to lose and it refuses to come off. My therapist says isn’t my stability worth more than my weight? And she’s right. Ugh.

I’m diagnosed and medicated, but struggling a lot with discerning what is a valid, real paranoia vs something entirely constructed in my head. I’m dealing with issues related to getting good sleep and taking steps to get answers on whether or not I also have sleep apnea. I’m tired of unpredictable mood swings and constantly second guessing if I can trust those around me. It’s just beginning to wear me down, that no matter what I seem to try or how much effort I put in, I end up hurting the people that are supporting me.
I hear you on the sleep. I can manage thru work sick but if I don’t get enough sleep I can’t function the next day. It’s SO important. Glad you are working on improving that aspect.
I feel you.
Not official diagnosed bipolar but I am sad and depressed without hope… Just a constant feeling of doom.
Sending you hugs internet stranger. 🥰 Don’t be afraid to ask for medicine, mine was life changing and I was in a two year funk. Sunlight, vitamin D and exercise (yuck!) can help too.
How are you feeling today?
A little better. I have a lot on my plate that doesn’t have to do with bipolar.
Thanks for checking in though.
No worries! You are still free to rant away here. :)
