So, I am coming out of a mania phase that I have been stuck in for weeks. I was so sure that I was on top of the world an everything was great and I could fix everything. I was so sure I could fix my girlfriends bipolar. I was a genius and could do anything. I even got a book tht I was gonna use to het her out of her funk. I however realized I have been pushing her away. I really hate myself. I hate who I am. I hate the way I feel.

MommaClouseof2,

I am so sorry to learn that you are just coming out of a manic phase of your disorder.  I am not an expert re this topic as I have major depressive disorder so I can only imagine how difficult your dx is to live with.

If I may ask do you have a good Dr. handling your care and are your taking medication ? 

Please do not feel you are losing loved ones because you have Bipolar because I have trouble sometimes with my family not understanding my anxiety and depression.  I have been told by several relatives that they cannot be around a sad person and it hurts to hear those comments.

Talk with your Dr. and ask him/her to please try to get you to a point where you do not cycle so frequently or as intensely.

May I say a little pray for you ?

Kindly,

Kitt

Kitt,
Thank you! I would really appreciate the prays. I am in the middle of moving from Indiana to Kentucky and getting my Medicaid transferred over. I had a therapist over there that I seem for the last time Thursday. When I get my Medicaid over here I already contacted someone to get with for therapy and a dr. The only thing that sucks is ill have to see my therapist a few times before I can get with the doc. I hope I won't run out of meds before I get to see him or her. My neurologist has been filling them for a little while while I haven't had a dr. Ill need to get a new neurologist, too. I think this move and change is a huge trigger for me. I am so happy about my move and finally living with my girlfriend, but goin through all this and having to get all new docs is a bit scarey. Being in my mania phase has helped me get a lot of stuff down quickly.
