How to Fight Bad Days
| Sun, 01-29-2006 - 2:58pm |
I was recently (Thanksgiving) diagnosed Bipolar Type 2. I am taking Effexor, Lamictal and Seroqual. I am in therapy and have been doing well. But I am starting to feel badly again.
My question is... How to you fight the bad days and fend off worse when you feel like worse might be coming? And how do you do this without burdening your family and friends? I feel like I've put everyone through so much in the last few months and I don't want to bring everyone down after things have been so positive the last month.
I'm not totally sure why I am feeling this 'panic' or anxiety again but I feel like I am slipping / sliding and I want to figure out a way to stop it before I slide too far back.
Thanks for reading.

I dont' know if anyone can understand this, but sometimes when I feel bad, I WANT to feel bad. I know that's crazy. So that makes it hard for me to 'get out of it'.
Oh, and chocolate sometimes helps. But if it's serious bad feelings, I just don't know. I can't get out of that myself.
Hi Christa,
I REALLY wish I knew how to stop them from coming...they hit me so hard, all the time. Just do what you can...positive thinking...plenty of rest...avoid triggers when at all possible...yes, I know that one is hard...stay medication compliant...ride out the bad days and know they won't last.
I'm glad you're here! Not doing well myself, but I'll talk with you more.
Hugs,
Keli
