Hey guys,

I am major irritable today (it started last night). I have a pdoc appointment today. Since being on the Seroquel (two months now), my everyday depression is gone. However I am cycling. As soon as I tell me pdoc that I am afraid he will want to do something different and I don't want to. Sure, cycling isn't good. But it's soooo much better than being depressed every single day. Maybe it is a matter of increasing something. Sigh. Although I am starting to feel that my bipolar is treatment resistant. I'm either deeply depressed with periods of hypomania that last a week or so or I am cycling around the clock!

Things with bf have been pretty good. It's too bad I'm irritable right now because as we all know, that is one symptom that is really hard to control, at least I find it is. I just want to scream!!! At least I am off work this week. I am glad.

Anyway, just thought I'd vent because a few minutes ago I felt like I was gonna snap! I'm feeling extremely anxious so I think I'll take a clonazepam and try to calm down.

Hi Mogs. I am SOOO glad your depression is lifting. When I'm irritable, it's often because of anxiety. I just started to learn to recognize that in the last week or two. Maybe that Klonopin is something to try?

You are still under a crazy amount of stress, so give yourself a break. (Good for you for taking time off work!)

((hugs))

Hope the pdoc was helpful today.
I think the Klonopin is going to help alot. Let us know how it went, how you are doing. Thinking of you .......

Thanks guys. Tortoise: you know how long I've been depressed...so thanks for being glad for the lift I was feeling. Unfortunately I crashed last night. I am deeply deeply depressed today. I am extremely on edge and will likely end up calling distress or something.

I just ate some yogurt with berries and granola and I am drinking ice water as I've had two panic attacks. The most recent one was an hour ago. I did take the Clonazepam (Klonopin) I may take another soon if the anxiety doesn't stop. I'm dizzy, weak and short of breath. I have major tingles in my hands and feet.

I am on the verge of tears.

Pdoc appt went well yesterday; I was feeling fine at that point (aside from feeling irritable) so we made my next appt for 4 weeks from now.

I had 1.5 glasses of wine yesterday with a girlfriend against my better judgement. So I know that was bad. I feel like I'm going to lose it right now. This is awful. No wine for me.

Anyway, I'll try to post to people later. Right now my energy is nil.

Hugs to all and thanks again,
Mogs
