Something’s not right

Self Pity Party

Self Pity Party

Is it bad we have self pity days? Like yes I got a mental illness but there are kids staving so do I have the rights to go argh life is not fair?

I'm just having one of those teary weeks. I'm feeling not right. I feel my new medication is working but my mania is coming in hard and is testing my medication and I don't think my medication is going to hold out.

Then I started thinking what if it dosent. I'm going to be sick again and not be able to work or life. Then I started thinking what will people think of me. Then I started thinking well what do people think of bipolar. So now I believe they think I'm purely crazy that's tempomental and you need to walk around egg shells on other wise they will set me off and I'll go into the loony bin. I'm just the nut in the family they discus to others when they discus the crazy person in the family to friends.

And I feel at work they know I'm sick and just think of me as weird. The strange one. I can't communicate or get in the flow with people there.

Literally thinking about quitting my job going on the dole and just become my illness. What's the point of trying to fight it I'm just crazy.

@Former-Member yes cats are beautiful like that. I love animals, nothing better than watching animals just being animals.

You are sounding much calmer today CatMeowCatMeow! That's good!

Nope. Even if I can see a doctor there's no miricale tablet I can take.

Re: Self Pity Party

I wonder what will happen if I just stop taking my medication. Will I feel how I am meant to feel?

Re: Self Pity Party

@Former-Member I wouldn't stop taking mine only because I know I would be away with the pixies ... and I promised my family I wouldn't.

Re: Self Pity Party

True I promised my husband I won't stop taking mine but I'm refusing to go stronger. It's started to make my mind foggy and send me into a zombie and I'm like no I'm not being a zombie. I rather be really sick then a zombie!

@Former-Member It's a hard one isn't it. My psychiatrist said they dont like to totally deaden you with antipsychotics and the like but where does that leave us some where in the middle. I liken it to a beach you have zombie which is totally flat water no swell, tides gone out ... and then on the full blown manic side it is like a hurricane blasting with king tides etc.

Then somewhere in the middle is where I am where the waves are gently crashing down and everything seems normal but underneath there is a strong current which is ripping away at the sand etc, I just don't feel normal like I did before.

Re: Self Pity Party

I just hate it!!! It's like these tablets are making me feel zombie. Doctor says stick with them they are working. Yes they are working as I'm a dam zombie!!!!!!! Zombie is not a healthy way to be or treated. I think it's as crap as bipolar highs and lows. But this inbetween is another world of pure crap. Can't stand it. It's like nothing works. So now I'm like why am I even bothering? Why I'm putting these tablets in my body? What's the point?
