To begin, I did go to inpatient care voluntarily a few weeks ago. But I slept for three days straight, and did not attend any of the counseling sessions. I begged the Dr. to let me go after three days and he agreed. BIG MISTAKE! Went home, didn't take care of myself, no sleep, psychosis begain, and back to the hospital I go, except this time I was committed involuntarily. Spent 15 long days in acute inpatient (Dr. said I wasn't leaving this time until he felt I was ready). Lost 7 lbs. while there, didnt eat or sleep much. I had already lost 35 in less than two months. I did attend groups but not really sure if they helped or were counterproductve. Well I'm home now and all I want to do is cry. I thought meds were workng a little, but now I'm not so sure. Just don't know how to act, or what to do. So irratable, these are the times I runaway, but I promised someone I would stay and tough it out. I can't keep running but being here with the stress is awful. I don't know what to do? Started cleaning as soon as I put my bags down. Can't sleep, and I'm worried about slipping back into psychosis. What do you do when you just get home from a hospital stay? Also has anyone tried Zyprexa? Tried Geodon but since I don't eat it wasn't working. Tries Saphris max dose and didnt do a thing. Now I'm tryng Zyprexa. Heard you gain weight?? I cannot gain wait or I really will be depressed?View Thread

I did it! I'm where I need to be. I'm in waiting room, listining to a suggested song~ Fast Car ~ My all time fav. Thanks for the reminder.
It took me 4 hours to get here, and it was only 10 min. away. But I'm here with my crazy anxiety, shaky hands, and pounding heart~BP 163/99~
But with all that I feel a little calm, glad i'm here, atleast for now. I'll take one min. at a time, just have to remind myself to Breathe.
Thanks All~View Thread

Although It took 4 hrs., to go 10 min. down the street., Stopped at store, Dr.'s office, etc. deciding what to do. But, I made a smart choice. i'm now sitting in waiting room, waiting to be admitted, listening to a suggested song~ Fast Car~ So ME, Love it! Thx
I'm shaky, heart pounding, foot tapping, can't sit still, BP 163/99,
But I actually feel a little calm, because someone said "Just Breathe," and I will continue to relax. I'm a little scared, just cause I have no idea what to expect. I hope they don't force me to eat. I don't eat much right now, and I just hope they won't mind. I'll deal with that later. Right now, this min. ill just breathe.
Thanks AllView Thread

I was supposed to be at ER to check into inpatient voluntarily. But I woke up with anxiety one min, numbness and just don't care attitude another, now swaying back and fourth to music, not happy but heart beating so fast and feel like leaving and telling noone where I'll be, running with wind to be free. I know I will never be free, dont need to hear that, know my kids need me, but just a little numb and not sure if they really need this. Yes i now there is hope, and yes I've heard all success stories, but like i said mind and body just don't care. Not suicidal, But right now just don't know what to do. Please if possible any advice?View Thread

Where to begin,
Long Story but all I can say is I feel the need to runaway from family. I'm Bipolar, explosive, irritable, agitated, restless, depressed etc. and all in all TOXIC to those around me. Meds take to long to work and I just dont have the patience, or they are too strong and make me sick, so I tend to refuse therapy. Husband wants me to check into hospital. I feel its useless. So I ranaway while kids are at grandparents. I feel they are better off but husband says they need their mom. Really??? Better seeing me in hell? or better when mom is out of sight out of mind. I want ro run so far and create a new life. I know in my head that's not possible but I still run. Not sure what to do. So with not knowing what to do I felt the need to stock pile all sleeping pills (Just in Case). Not saying I'm suicidal but I'm scared and just dont know what to do, I'm a planner so I also felt need to hide pills in a bag, where they will not be detected just in case my husband follows through with having me involuntarily commited. So far I've been really good at manipulating system and hes unable to legally have this happen. But just in case I've got the plan. Dont want to use the pills, so I left ran away hoping when I get the energy to create new life. And as for the kids. Their dad is Amazing and I know they are well taken care of. Better if I'm not there.lView Thread

So impressed. I always wanted to finish my DPT, but impossible. Twins, pre teen, bipolar not on right meds, OCD, and can not process stimulus/stress and traveling military husband. I did however grad. with Suma Cum Laude, but that took all I had and even consumed me to the point of not playing with daughter or being there for her. So as of right now, I'll say maybe. Maybe when I'm stable, and twins are in school. Hopeful atleast. But very impressive, thanks for sharing.View Thread

and followed him again, this time to Asia. Well to end this I broke down hard. My heart still aches at the thought of him choosng the school and not me. All because he was too blind to see the seriousness of this. Even told counselor he didnt know it was serious. Maybe he's the one with Bipolar disorder, because where the hell has he been? By the way his dx is not bipolar, it ADD. Great combo the two of us. And I'm a clean OCD freak as well. We actually work well together. He's calm, I'm not. He's forgetful, I have to be so organized. I always said my world is chaos so keeping my home in order is necessary for my sanity. Well, he stayed, he's home on a medical leave from work, children are having a blast at the beach, And I'm going to inpatient in am. Just need to know what meds dr. is referring to when he said we need to pull out "the Big Guns" any clue which ones he talking about? like to be knowledgable helps with anxiety. Thx for advice/response. I'll be back soon, I hope.View Thread

OK, since I last posted, I have realized my condition is much worse than I thought. I'm so scared because I'm constantly feeling as if I'm being followed. I'm jumpy because I feel so called demons (which I see in the form of shadows/lights) are out to ruin me. I have now become so paranoid that the one person (my husband) I somewhat trusted is out to get me, and take the kids. Example, try to follow, thoughts are so fast and I'm a slow typer and terrible speller (would never guess, I graduated Suma Cum Laude) Any way, I have screamed, cried, and even ran away with a gun, and my husband didnt realize there was a problem. I end up in bed 3 x or more a year, I don't sleep at times. We both are to blame for saying "oh its just depression and she will eventually come out of it". In my college days I have history of suicide, and been on off meds while with husband. But now, this episode, in a month some I lost 30 lbs. someone asked him if I was ok cause the weight loss was drastic in short time and he replied" Oh I didnt notice." Now we do have an 11 yr old going through preteen hormonal hell, and screaming, tormenting, testing, TWIN three yr. olds. He is such an awesome dad and helps out more than any man I've seen. Yes, I know I'm lucky, and have cherished him for all his help, but I also feel neglected, and not heard, not seen as with the weight loss. And at my worst he begged, drug me out of bed, called the cops, just to get me help. Then when we do get help, he was told this is serious with psychosis involved (Felt like government was stalking). Very unstable. Get on meds, vomiting, very ill, had to stop them immediatly which instantly put me in a manic state, out of town and no dr. visit for 5 days. So for 5 days I isolated, and slept maybe 7 hrs. tops. Then on diff. med. I was able to come out of room, so now I guess that's a sign to husband. Here you go, here are the screaming twins, and the preteen who is going to question and not do anything you ask, so you will need to remind her 10x, and you have to cook, clean, etc. and in his words "cause that's what moms do." I so needed to be in bed. But I tried to function. Then melt down to therapist. She advised it would be best to stay in my room where I felt the most calm and safe over the weekend, with very little stimulation (Which I did mention to him and he said he understood) Did it happen? Kids screams and preteens complaints and whining pushed me over. I started yelling at husband for irrational things with no basis. And he's tired from the previous weeks taking care of me plus kids, so he got on defensive and stood way too close to me making me feel so threatened. So I pushed him. Weekend over, stuck in room for the next week, with mixed mania, and its now time for husband to go on (Voluntary trip) for 25 days. I CANT do this alone. the night before he is supposed to leave he says well you got your mom. But the night before I cried to him he was what I needed, My husband, the only one I trusted. He broke my heart, said he's always wanted this trip and when twins were born he had to cancel, why again? DUH?? I told him that I postponed my schooling to follow his career (Military) many yrs., even had to quit in the middle of school because, as he was already gone 1 yr., and decided to vol. to do an additional yr. I was not gong to let marriage fail so I quit andView Thread
