Doctor's say I am bipolar but I'm not sure what that means

I am new in this forum, I usuallly use depression thread

I am 42 years old and I feel terrible, I'm tired all the time, so no engery, loss of concertration,

no self esteem, I need someone to wind me up to just get out of bed.  I also have PTSD

I have tried several different medication and so far no luck.  Right now I am taking Cymbalta and  was taking abilify which I ended up having chest pains and keep me awake.  I will be talking to my doctor tomarrow and I hope she can try somet6hing else like maybe Prestiq

I hear good on that anyone else know if it works well..............

Sorry for going on I wasn'st looking to bore people or not make any sense, so SORRY!!

Hope you all have a goood night.....................

Well today I went to group therapy, it was only 4 of us but I guess it did it's job.  I was surprised at my self for talking.........I went in and told myself I was not going to talk about what is going on with me I was just going to listen.

My therapist suggests that I go to al-anon & alateen groups.  If you don't know what that is it is groups for adult children of alcholic parents. ( sorry I'm not a good speller )  My mom has been a drinker since I was a baby.  about 4 months ago I told my mom I did not want anything to do with her and I did not want her to be a part of my girls life, my husband does not agree on my feelings because his mom is in Colo. and we live in NJ and my mom is the only grandparent they have.  I don't want he to be around my girls because she is not a good roll-model.............she drinks, drives and has chosen alchol over her family...........

Anyway I'm hoping the group will help me.....................

As for my depression and anixety I blame my husband...........................

Why do men always have to be right??????

Hope all is well with everyone and one day I will explain what I am going through....ONE DAY
