Sufferer Hey All ....ptsd Bipd Bipolar And Mdd Diagnosis

[Rissa]

Well i thought after 5 years everything was under control i had no episodes no symptoms. Then all the sudden I'm hit with an overwhelming sadness and a need to run away (something i do frequently when im having bipolar moments) however i am not my diagnosis so here i am. A 31 yr old divorcee with no children and i have two amazing jobs and an amazing fiancee who knows all my flaws n got me thru my last flair up but now hes away for another 6 months in prison.... Dui.... So here i am flailing about in life trying to survive this. Recent flair of depression and mania all combined...

Welcome, I too have MDD and bipolar I and PTSD. I have had a seven month psychosis. I think I permanently fried my brain from meth use.. I have been sober from meth since last December and before that I was nine years cleans.


My depression episodes never let up. ADs don't work on me, they either poop out after a month or just don't do jack. I have poly substance abuse problems and I'm an addict. It kinda concerns me that you have all these mental ailments and you fiancé is in prison.


Now I'm 31 too. But I didn't take long after I had been in jail to realize that life is fleeting and I better do as I'm supposed to so I can stay out of jail. Never been to prison.


I hope you find peace and more helpful advice. Only from me I can tell you that we kinda have the same problems going on.
