Possible Triggers################################################################

Since you asked, I will just go ahead and say it. My bp is still stable but I am down about my weight, making me want to stop taking these darn pills that put the weight on to begin with. I am sore as heck and want to cry because of it. I have been taking prescription pain pills the last two days because of how sore I am. The doctor had previously prescribed them for my neck pain and I did not take all of them. They are barely taking the edge off. I am frustrated. I am thinking of throwing away all of my kids halloween candy as I have no will power. I am thinking of my mother telling me all my problems would end if I would just eat gluten free (I have been diagonosed with celiac disease and don't follow the prescribed diet) and wondering if I should, but then I know that sends me into a depression and dh is not real supportive of the diet, as it is hard to eat out or go out socially. Ugh. See why I was not going to post. Sorry to be a downer.

Hi Donna,


I am here. I have been really busy doing things around here. There is a lot that I want to get done before Rick gets home,and my FIL comes Sat. That is the same day Rick is coming back from the field. I am doing ok. Not up, but not down either. I will try to post more tomorrow, but right now I am going to take a long, hot shower,and make this a early night.
Have a good evening.
Love and hugs,

Hi, I was very touched by your message! I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar type 2, 2 months ago, even though I have known it for awhile. I just started Tegretol and wow it is helping, but I am getting alot of headaches. I am working many hours a week which I am afraid this is going to get me in trouble with burnout at work. I have been married for many years and even though my poor husband is great, he is like come on snap out of this.. not so easy. I know he means well. Along with the Bipolar diagnosis, I also suffer from PTSD, lol I am not sure if that is the correct abbreviation, most will know what i mean. Thanks for listening, Patti

Hi Patti!

Welcome to the board! I'm so glad you decided to post! I have BP I and PTSD too, so I know what you are going through, and its not as easy as "just snap out of it!" Though we all wish it were!

Hang in there and keep posting! You'll find lots of support and great friends here!

Hugs,

Keli

Thanks Keli, I am glad to meet you, and nope I wish I could just snap out of it when the depression visits. I do have a great therapist which I feel very grateful for. I will keep posting! Patti
