Well I totally freaked out today, destroyed half my fathers kitchen in a rage so he called me a loony and kicked me out into the pouring rain. I had a lovely 3 mile walk in the rain to my own house.. I don't know what stimulus has kicked this off.. I think I may be coming down off the high but today was just ridiculous. I'm still on Lamortrogine and Quetiapine.

Yeah I was still on 600mg Quetiapine, 30mg aripiprazole and 100mg topiramate and I blew 2 grand in a week. At least I didn't do anything embarrassing (that I remember). Hey, at least you had your own place to walk to. I am stuck at home unable to get on the property ladder. If you think things are turning that is good. Do you normally return to normal after an episode or do you go crashing into depression? Might be a useful time to prepare if the latter is the case. KSx I am an administrator on this site.

I'm trying to keep myself afloat and not go crashing down. I really can't afford to. The GP has asked to see me so I'll see what she has to say. I think my mum has already started to make preperations just incase - she's removed my credit card and brought a tonne of foods into my flat..and done a fair amount of cleaning aswell.

Mum and Cath here do not want to phone. but crashing bad. Had confirmation that I am worthless. Why could none have you told me the truth? You all said nice things - the truth would have made this night easier? I think my multiple personalities have multiple personalities - makes for quite a party.

Yanno, I'm not one for pain, it's more like a test rather than a desire to hurt, it's the only way I can describe stabbing myself with a fork... repeatedly. If this doesn't make sense then its due t the self medication (Carlsberg Export if you were wondering) Am I depressed or manic? I really don't know, used to be clear cut but now... who knows, but anyway, nice to have this to vent before I do something REALLY dumb. Hopefully I sleep soon (alcohol affects me that way) n I wont have to think I can't think of anything clever to say so I'll be quiet |

Take care GTR, I don't want to lecture and I am not going to as I have used your method of self medication all too often but it will not work long term and is not the answer. I am not a doctor of any kind either and certainly do not have all the answers - would not reccomend going cold turkey either, stress is the last thing any of us need.

Uh oh, I just had a manic episode and already did many stupid things. May I have a prize if I tell you what they are? But I am trying to avoid more stupid now, since my depression is coming in. I have mixed episodes usually, at least after I do my mad scenes, and, thanks to a new med that really goes after the depression, I've almost decided that depression is the bigger creep in bipolar disorder. Actually it creeps, creeps in, especially after the mania, when humiliation and regret will loom so large for me that it's very difficult to go try to repair my mind and my messy life...and my messy living space. That's it. I hate depression. It is like a secondary invader that comes in to capitalize on the fragile, recovering mania sufferer. I no longer believe that we can keep silent. We never really do, mind you. In one way or another, we articulate what has happened to us through the kind of people we become. |
