Off antidepressants

Hi everyone
sorry I havent been around to offer my support. I have been taken off of my antidepressants because they were causing me to have terrible mood swings as I am bipolar and have DID. My life is very hard right now but I am plugging along. For some reason I am terrified all the time and it is very hard to make it through a day without getting really down. No really bad thoughts right now, just struggles and I dont want them to escalate into those bad thoughts. Wish I know when they would strike so I could prepare myself but it hits at unexpected times. Im sure some of you know what I mean. Just needed to hear that someone out there cares about my mental health and stability. It seems like people here in the outside world just dont get it and cant understand the struggles at all. I find solace here with you all. Sorry again I havent been here for you guys lately, I do feel bad about that but I dont care about you all any less.

Hello Jessi, I'm sure noone blames you for not being able to post. I am on antidepressants too. I haven't always had great experiences with them but have been persisting with these ones for a while. I hope you feel better soon.
All the Best.
Hey Jess,
(((Jessi))) @ this time when you're trying to keep yourself in a good place, noone expects you to support others. It's nice that you can stop in & share your thoughts, but we know that in lots of cases, people have to work @ regaining their balance. We care about you & will be here for you, no matter what.
ITA with Lori. Antidepressants can be tricky. I have been on & off of them. I have had the ups & downs of life with & without meds. It's a fine line we have to follow.
I wish you the best of luck in your struggle. Hopefully you can find interests & activities to keep you distracted from the fear. Keep in touch. jan
