@FabulousEnding I agree with you that there is a stigma attached to bipolar. I have Bipolar NOS and PTSD. I fee the same way you do. My PTSD made me crazier. It took me longer to accept my Bipolar NOS diagnosis and to understand it better. I know what caused my PTSD directly. I can...

@gizmo I hope that you're hanging in there and I'm sending you hugs. I'm feeling relieved to get my meds sorted out by my pdoc today. I am feeling afraid that I will have another drug reaction to the new med. I'm still feeling pain from the reaction.

I've been up since 1 AM this morning! My pdoc changed my meds today so maybe I'll sleep tonight. @Glitterkitty I'm sorry for your loss. I hope that you get some sleep too.

@Glitterkitty I'm still not sleeping through the night. Last night I had multiple nightmares. I'm going through some medication changes right now and hope it all will be sorted out soon.

I had no problem falling asleep but staying asleep is simply not meant to be since my Zyprexa was stopped last week. I had a reaction to the Zyprexa. I didn't sleep through the night for months before taking it. Now I don't know what will happen without it.

I am feeling afraid. I'm not so sure the swelling in my legs is from having been on a new medication. I'm afraid something more serious is going on. My lab work should be at my doctor's office tomorrow. My PTSD has all the possibilities swirling in my mind. I'm trying to stay calm.

Warm here today but freezing cold temperatures tonight.

I am feeling better but shaky from the medicine.

@CraftyCath-Many hugs are being sent to you. When I tried working 2 years ago in retail a similar thing happened to me. The shifts I signed up for became longer. I worked on Black Friday for 12 hours with a half hour break. Which was illegal. I was continually yelled at by one manager who...

Feeling anxiety and hiding in my house.

I'm feeling exhausted.

@Lionheart777-My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I feel good today. I'm tired but good.

I feel crushed like I'm stuck under a rock. I'm tired of so many months of medication changes and just want to give up on medication completely. My lack of sleep last night isn't helping things. I'm going to practice my therapist's suggestion to break problems down into baby steps.

I feel tired but good.

Feeling really good which is weird since I battled SI last night. I didn't realize that I let my anxiety build and that it contributes to my depression.

I have both Bipolar and PTSD. I had PTSD first then in my early 20's my Bipolar showed up. Then a massive trauma made my PTSD severe. I take Abilify, Depakote, Xanax, and Cymbalta. I was on lithium for years but came off of it last August due to side effects. My pdoc is still switching...

Confused and a bit out of it has turned into outright depressed. This rain isn't helping at all.

I gave away the Christmas tree to my sister. And all the decorations are boxed away. I don't feel much like celebrating Christmas this year. If I could just go on vacation and just forget all about the Christmas frenzy that exists. To sit on a beach somewhere in the sun would make Christmas...

Feeling confused and a little out of it. @TonyG-Good luck with the new medication and hang in there. I'm going through medication changes right now too.

I am feeling okay. I'm having a good day. They have been few and far between so I cherish them.

Thank you all for your responses. Let me clarify what is meant by rehabilitation: a job, a relationship, more of a life. My therapist believes that I could work if I find the right job and break everything into manageable steps. She looks at me and sees potential for my future. As Suzetig...

My therapist believes that I can be rehabilitated whereas my psychiatrist doesn't. I've known my therapist since February of 2014 and my psychiatrist for 13 years. This is the first therapist who has really gotten through to me. I'm afraid to move forward so my therapist is having me break...

My ability to overcome adversity.

I'm looking forward to getting winter boots. In less than a month there will be snow on the ground here.
