starting to crash again (triggers)

after a week of being hypomanic and agitated, over the weekend i started to crash again. at first i thought it was just circumstantial stuff, but i have NO coping skills and have been crying all day over a stupid misunderstanding with my sponsor. earlier i was actually thinking of calling my pdoc (i HATE to call him on weekends) to see if he would up my lamictal because i can't bear the thought of being depressed again and not sure i can wait until tuesday, but because i was agitated too, i took a risperdal, which he gave me some sample of to use on an as needed basis when i was agitated, and so i'm calmer, but more out of it this afternoon.

peace and love,

Sue:

You are not whining. You DO need to call your pdoc though. That's what they are there for. Any pdoc worth having understands when you call them on the weekend. Crashing can be a serious thing, especially after you have been up for a few days.

Call your pdoc, let him know what is going on, and hang in there. Keep posting, even if it is just to say you still feel crummy!

Sue,


I agree with Tracey on this one all the way, go ahead and call your pdoc.
