I have had pretty severe mood swings highs and lows a good few years now that i can say ive really noticed days where i feel i could conquer the world and then other days where i am suicidal and it varies.Does it run in families does anyone know?I will talk to my doctor about it but she is on 8 weeks holidays so i have to wait till she comes back.Can anyone tell me what the difference in medications are between depression(im currently on zoloft)and bipolar meds?Thanks.Gabbi.
Sharon im glad to hear the therapy is getting easier its good to have someone that can listen and guide you when you are down i saw my psychologist yesterday which always makes me feel better for a while anyway.I know what you mean about seeing someone else i would hate to have to start again with someone else i think i depend too much on my psychologist which its hard not when hes the only one in my life i can actually sit down and really tell him everything not just what i think he wants to hear.Im sure you understand :)Anyhow today has been ok so hopefully tomorrow will be even better.I hope you are feeling better.Gabbi.
Hey thats great that you feeling so much better i take zoloft and i believe it has improved the way i look at the world to a degree i am still trialing different doses because i do still have really bad days so its just a matter of finding the right meds at the right dose that suits each person then i believe life can be good again.Gabbi.
Hi there i can relate with what youve said i take everything that everybody says to heart if someone disagrees with me or has a different opinion i think they dont like me and im not worthy i want to be able to NOT care what other people think of me as long as i am being the best person i can be.Try writing down your negative thoughts on a piece of paper then coming up with a positive to counteract it i have been doing that for a couple of months and i have found that its starting to help though it does take time because my brain is so used to just thinking negatively.Hope that helps.Gabbi.
Thats ok Amy i agree that its better to have some good days rather then none but i would still rather no bad days ;)I have had a great day today so hopefully i can continue this trend.Im glad your having great days again too.Its a good feeling isnt it!Heres to better days!Gabbi.
Thanks Batty i will keep you posted on how i go with my doctor when i see her.Thanks for the support.I read your other post about your son going to the doc thats great he was in good spirits.Gabbi.
Kat you need to open up to your husband and/or sister theres no point hiding it because its not going to go away by itself you need to talk get your feelings out in the open then you can start the recovery process.There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about have you seen a doctor or therapist cause they are there to help you also.I see my doctor and psychologist on a weekly basis.You deserve to be happy within.Gabbi.
Please tell your treatment team about the thoughts you are having they cannot help you properly if they only know half the story.I dont think there is a time frame for how long you have depression because everyone is different and responds to different treatments in different ways.Life will be good again for you.Gabbi.
