[QUOTE=Dragonfly][QUOTE=Lacy's Mom]I am sorry you are feeling the way you do, but bi-polar or no bi-polar I think we have all felt like this before. Please continue your meds and, if they aren't working, try new ones until they get it right. I know I take Prozac and will start thinking I don't need them anymore and they don't do anything for me. It's a very short time before I realize I'm not leaving the house, sleeping too much, depressed, etc. so I start taking them again and feel better.
I also am a homebody, but by choice. I enjoy reading, painting ceramics, and sewing outfits for the dogs. I also raise parrots so that keeps me busy feeding baby birds. I am glad you found YT as an outlet at least to communicate with others and I'm sure there are agoraphobia discussion boards you could also benefit by participating in.
Don't ever give up hope that you will find the meds or counseling that makes you feel normal. I, personally, have found that trust in God helps me deal with the issues we face in life - turning everything over to him sure takes a lot of weight off your shoulders.
Thanks for sharing your story.[/QUote
Do you stuffer from depression? That is one thing Prozac is for plus many more. When I said I was house bound that means I don't go anywhere where there is alot of ppl, see I don't like ppl looking at me because I shake BAD my arms and hands, I have alot to do here around the house I have 6 yorkies to keep me buzy, I take my meds I have had biploar for 7 years I know where my faith lays in the hands of my lord JESUS CHRIST. I know alot about what Kathryn is going thru. God bless![/QUOTEBless your heart. I understand. I have slight tremors now but when I was on another medication I had them real bad. Are yours the side effect of your medication. I have a tremor with my mouth that my doctor is keeping an eye on it and if it gets any worse then She will give me a new medication for it. Bipolar is a difficult disease and not alot of people really understand it. I have been through ups and downs but with the meds am on now I havent had a manic episode in over a year so I am counting my blessings. My faith helps me alot also |
