Something’s not right

When everything starts crashing.

When everything starts crashing.

Do you ever feel like your standing infront of your self watching your world crash?

Do you feel like you are losing control but know you can't stop it and just have to let it happen?

That's how I'm feeling. I feel like I have no control and I can see everything in slow motion falling apart but I can't do anything about it.

I'm trying to keep busy and going but it's just making me manic and hardcore panic attacks and as soon as I stop I start to cry and think what's the point of life.

I reached out to friends but they don't care. They all have children and jobs now and I understand they are busy but be nice if they came over and just gave me a hug and we watch trash tv and eat cake.

My husband just keeps going ok ok ok ok ok ok ok I understand. But how can he really understand. I just don't feel supported by him. I keep telling him I'm breaking I need to slow down but he's like you will be fine.

I know I'm breaking and it's going to be a mess. And I hate I can't stop it.

I tried a new drug today. I'm scared of medication as I hate being dependent on it. I tried a quarter of what the doctor wanted me to take. I felt like I had 5 shots of Tequila and a relaxent all in one. My hands started to fly in the sky and my panic levels went crazy. So I was like no just think you have had a drink and that calmed me down but I can still feel it playing in my mind.

I feel like I can't live a functional life with out medication. I try so hard and I'm sussceding in so much of it but it's burning me out and I know this fall that's about to happen is going to set me far back. Life on pills just makes me feel dumb and slow and what type of life is that.

I'm just starting to think what type of life am I going to have?

I read an article on people with deppresion and it's like of nothing makes you happy including medication and therapy you should just live for others. That upset me so much. It's like you got no hope so help others you empty person.

This week to 5 of my friends have moved to Europe and 3 announced their pregnancy and I'm just like look at everyone moving forawd and I'm stuck and frozen. I'm trapped.

Re: When everything starts crashing.

I've ended up seeing my doctor as I'm just in general unwell. Hate this time of the year!!!

My doctor asked me how the new medication is going and I said I have 100% noticed massive changes. I don't get angry as bad, I don't get anxiety as bad, my moods don't change as quick but I'm still suffering from bad depression.

He was like hopefully that should settle and I'll see you soon for your bipolar check up but keep thinking positive.

I'm just thinking to myself this ain't going to help. I'm battling self harming thoughts daily. But then again what can the doctor do? There's not quick pill. I'm obviously doing some good on the new medication. But this saddens it's hurting me so hard. I'm literally thinking just thinking of SH just to get through the next through weeks. I just need something to get the pain out of my body. I don't want it in me any more. I need it to leave.

And boom let the self harming/self hating begin.

Hi @Former-Member,

I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time at the moment.

Changing medication can be particularly hard in the day to day as you deal with side effects but like you have been advised - it will hopefully settle soon. Have you worked with your GP on focusing on things that make you feel better?

Maybe you could tell us what kind of things you like? Do you like music? Or...and this is my favourite question - what is your favourite type of flower? Maybe you could post it in the community garden? Do you have a favourite type of tea you could make yourself? I'm sipping on peppermint at the moment

Lauz

Hi @Former-Member

I really hope this ain't a side effect as I know medications can make you more deppresed. It's really helping with most areas of my Bipolar which I can't believe. It's amazing. I'm gaining my life back in certain ways I never new.

I've told my doctor I'm getting sad but he's like look on the bright side. But as we all know when the depression takes over there is zero bright side. Unfortunately there is nothing he nor anyone can do for it. I try keep busy eg Robot mood but that can only last so long until I start only seeing black and the pain hurts to bad.

I'm not much of tea drinker. I would say peach ice tea on a hot summer day. I love music. Been seeing a lot of live shows lately. I love literally every style as long as it has substance. I respect all music really. Flowers that changed all the time lol. I like anything in the flower world that's girly and beautiful.

Re: When everything starts crashing.

Hi @Former-Member - sorry that things feel like they are heading back towards that depression...am here listening. i love peach iced tea so long as its not sweet. I cant stand sweet drinks (except for coke zero?!?)... But im a coffee addict - drink normal coffee until after school time then decaf. And try to swtich to herbal teas by 8pm..
I used to love live music, but don't get out much anymore. In my uni days i would go out all the time for music stuff (i used to play music as well). and there were awesome bands around radelaide. not even sure who that lisajane was that managed all that back then actually..
