Well I'm new here I'm bipolar And just came off my high and right now hitting the rock bottom of the lows. Only on antidepressants which I need to change. I have a great job been there for 12 years but because of my mental illness and migraines, I have used all my sick days for migraines and many anger outbursts when I'm depressed. My meds aren't working at all and I'm so frustrated!! I'm very sensitive and my emotions overtake my actions. I'm a big cryer. Yesterday I was told at my job that if… read more
I take 200 mg. Of Lamictal.plus 40 mgs of Prozac. I took syprexa. Gained 30lbs. Caused me to become borderline diabetic.
For the first time in my lifetime, I'm seeing a psychiatrist instead of a psychologist this week for a formal diagnosis of depression and anxiety (I'm already on 20mg of Paroxetine, which isn't entirely helpful), as well as possible (probable) bipolar. To help jump-start the process, what do I need to ask and/or tell the psychiatrist? Thank you, friends!!
Thank you for excellent answers, friends!! My appointment on Tuesday was part one of two, and it was incredibly successful, as I did indeed had all my list of questions prepared—either written down in… read more
This might not be a question for this site but it really has my anxiety through the roof.
I had blood work done and nurse called and doctor wanted me to come if for repeat and told me to drink lots of water which I did and Lab Corp, the company that does draws the blood, sent me an. e-mail that it was ready to be seen, as usual, so I clicked and signed in and WBC and RBC both had blue flags but also this time it had been sent to pathologist and had a blue flag.

Major depression disorder
I have pets that require that I get out of bed to care for them. Otherwise, I would just stay in bed.
How do you do it? I just don't care about myself. I know how to care for myself. I'm asking how to care ABOUT myself.
Everything I do is for someone else or because I'm "supposed" to do it but nothing that has to do with my own wants and needs seems important enough to me to prioritize.
I know logically that I'm supposed to care about myself. Care what I eat or how healthy I am but I just...don't.
How do I change this?
Make a list of your good traits and how to maintain them. Do simple things for yourself inbetween doing stuff for others. Make a list of your needs and wants. Try to do something related to these each… read more
Thank you Adriana. You are so right! We are not a mental illness.
There may be a physiological reason for the discharge of tears, but crying doesn't bother me, especially since I have stopped my antidepressants. I am happy I am no longer numb. I try to think that… read more
