rapid cycling, suicidal thoughts
| Wed, 07-04-2007 - 9:46pm |
Need to talk, trying to journal, doesn't seem to help me calm my thoughts. Went to see my doc yesterday, he's concerned d/t me having some suicidal thoughts of driving off bridge, not huge thoughts, just are there at times. I have three children, too many responsibilities, no one to help me with everything going on. My middle dau, who is 10 today, said all I did today is yell at her. Hard to control the rapid cycling, seem irritable one minute and tired and want to just do nothing one minute. have to see my doc again tomorrow do you think I need hospitalization???? Just don't know what I would do with my children. Any suggestions or thoughts, please.

Rapid cycling can be rough and going I/P is the often the quickest way to get it under control, although it's not the only way.
Marci gave you a lot of good info. I am sorry you are having a rough time right now. I remember those cycling days and I know they are no fun and are draining.
I hope you and your pdoc come up with an answer that will work for you. I know for me going i/p was what helped get me back on track the fastest. Also, going i/p helped give me coping skills that were taught during the daily therapy sessions.
I know when

I feel your pain.
I can't give you a answer but hang in there.
Think of your famliy that's what I do.
I force the bad toughts out and think of how my children need me.
Keep journaling even if it seems like it's not helping it's a good idea.
Please don't beat yourself up everything is going to be o.k.
