We could do that, Fyrepixie! Do you have AIM or Yahoo!? Wendy

Ayesha, I have known my psychiatrist since I was 19 years old... I am 43 now. He is excellent, and I wouldn't trade him for anything. However, I see your point. I'm wondering if he understands the severity of this episode. I actually don't think I told him of the suicidal thoughts or the rage...

I did call the psych. That's how I got my new THIRD mood stabilizer. It seems to be working a little bit. I have been sleeping, just a lot less than normal, and having insomnia at night. Honestly, if this keeps up, I am going to see if I need hospitalization because it is so severe that my mind...

Do any of you have bipolar disorder, too? I experience this with manic and mixed episodes, and I am in a mixed episode right now. Wendy

My psychiatrist increased my seroquel and added a mood stabilizer. I STILL can't sleep! This is getting ridiculous! Has anyone else ever gone through this? Wendy

Well, I am still suffering from a mixed episode of bipolar. It's been about ten days. A lot of anger, racing thoughts, flashbacks, depression, anxiety, etc. I laid in bed for 4 hours trying to sleep. No Luck. So I am just watching TV. Argh. Wendy

Hi, I have binge-eating disorder, and it is very difficult. I started at age 12 because I decided to gain weight to be ugly so people would stop hurting me sexually. My plan did not work; I was still being severely abused. But now I have an eating disorder to boot. Lovely. Wendy

Thank you both! Actually, now that I think of it, I slept 4 hours tonight. As a nap! I am going to see the on-call psychiatrist on Friday. Hopefully, the symptoms will be manageable until then. Thanks again. Wendy

Hey Keifer, Just so you realize, you don't know you'll never find the woman of your dreams. I know you feel alone right now; so do I. I am 43 years old. I feel as lonely and hopeless as you. But if I look down the "road," as Willycat so articulately drew for us, I see possibilities. Maybe if...

I am suffering a dysphoric mania (basically being depressed and manic at the same time). My symptoms are: insomnia, racing thoughts, agitation, anxiety, and depression. It's the most miserable state one can be in, outside of suicidality. It's truly awful, and hard to cope with. Nothing works. My...

Thanks Everyone, Such nice, warm welcomes! I appreciate it! Wendy

Keifer, Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I understand how you feel, I really do! But it's not worth it. You are worthy to stay alive, and I am glad your gun does not work. Please, please, please don't do it. Wendy

I live in Haverhill. How about you? Wendy

I live in Northeast MA. Do you want to be friends? Wendy
