i really never realized how hard it was to get help with this disease. even online and local support groups. i found a dr. and spent money for him to tell me im not getting enough sleep. when i clearly know it is not. so not only being frustrated that he gave me nothin useful im out money and back to where i started. there has to be govermenet funded programs for ppl like me that dont have insurance or the insurance which doesnt cover mental health issues.i have looked into a few and i know i cant expect istant results but i definatly cant go on like this . i know i have a few good weeks comin up soon where ill be happy and enegetic and be able to get up without crying all day but that also means that after that couple of weeks im gonna fall and thats what i dread.but i feel semi-ok today which is better then yearterday. so everyone have a survivable day and take care

Hello and welcome to HealingWell.  I know you will find this to be a awesome site if you stick with us. Can you explain your comment in more depth as I am wondering how you know when you are going to feel up or down with depression ? 

Have you ever talked with a psychiatrist about bipolar disorder ?

Again welcome aboard. IMHO joining a support group is joining a family ~ you have found family here.

 

Kindly,

Kitt

Oh, I understand that comment very well evolkitten,

That is when you use all your energy to maintain some sort of 'normallcy', and when that isn't required anymore, you are able to return to the 'old you'. The energy required to appear normal, is huge, and when you let go of that, you return to the fimiliar.

Is that how you experience it evolv?

i can feel the onset of my depression by my thoughts  there not normal,full of dread and worries of things that will happen 10 yrs from now.i feel my energy slip alil more and then its that one morning i wake up crying, unable to function,and want to die.then when i feel my mania start i can tell because i can actually smile and i feel like am alive back in the world where everyone else exists. and i LOVE that time.i get everything done i dont need to sleep .the house is clean ,bills on time i want to paint and have fun and thats when i try to get everything done becauuse it could be weeks , months and what happens after that is the pit that swallows you back .  smoetimes though my mind and thoughts get a lil to much cause theres to much going on up there.  so i dont know thats how i feel.and today sucked.                                                                                                                                            

but yes my dr says i have bipolar 1 with depression and hypomania tendencies

Thanks for the clarification.  I am unipolar major depressive disorder.  I understand how bipolar works and I am wondering if you are on any medicaiton to prevent the mood swings?

I do not experience any highs as you do so I have to really force myself to be motivated which is a huge problem when your mood runs to the low side and the medications make you feel sluggish.

Thank you for sharing how you feel.  I wish I had the magic answer.

Kindly,

Kitt
