Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Thanks for your response, support and guidance @Dimity

Furbabies have an immense power. If it wasn’t for mine I would have been gone already. I guess the positive is that this will end and I will come back up. I just have to hold on but hanging on isn’t easy when your heap tell you otherwise.

Im not eating at the moment which I guess doesn’t help. I might head into town later on when it’s quiet and try and get something.

I did download that app thank you.

I think I might go back to bed for a little while with Pixie The only other thing is to watch a couple of movies. At least it will take my focus away from my really uncomfortable thoughts.

Im on hold to Sane @Former-Member

@Captain24, I understand how you feel however if you could somehow bring yourself to show up at your local community mental health centre or at the ED ( I know how hard this is) things may ease up for you a bit. How long until your Mental health nurse returns? Your "forum mates" are sitting with you. Olga

My nurse is off for another week but when she’s back I work most of that week. I do see the psychiatrist when my nurse is back. Then she is off again for Christmas.

I have a massive fear of turning up. I’m terrified of being locked up. If I don’t feel any better tomorrow I will try and call the MH centre.

The call was really good @Former-Member but now that I’ve hung up I still feel the same. She is sending through some stuff on bipolar and I’ve emailed the guided service again.

@Captain24 so glad you've spoken to SANE. The movies, Pixie's company and getting something to eat sounds like a plan. Maybe Pixie could do with a treat.

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

No it hasn’t improved @Dimity it’s getting worse. I’m just laying on the lounge with Pixie waiting for the day to be over.

Thank you for checking on me. I really do appreciate it.

Hang in there @Captain24 . Have you eaten yet? Maybe reach out and call someone tonight.

Pat Pixie for me.

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Hi @Captain24 @I have a few thoughts.

I think they’ve finally got my cocktail as right as they can. This, combined with exercise, regular rest and medication, means that I’ve been stable for a while now. So there does appear to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Secondly, and as an extension to the above, I’m starting to be advised by my psychiatrist that my various eccentric acids are not residual bipolar. Rather new pieces of me are now coming to the fore. So I may just be facing new dimensions of me (heaven help us!) that have been waiting to pop out.

The mind boggles. Thoughts anyone?

In response to: Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

Re: Let`s talk about Bipolar

It’s good to hear that stability will come @Delicatessen .

I see a dietitian on Monday so I’m hoping that helps with my really bad diet.

Finding new parts of you sounds challenging.
