Crying out for help, and my Family wont listen
I am a 57 yr oold male aho recently got engaged to a wonderful woman who has bi polar disorder. I still do not completely understand this disorder but know I must learn all i can so i may deal with problems as they arise. I know it will be me who must have the understanding as she is not always responsible for her thoughts or actions. I am hoping I will be able to find answers as wll as support here.

i have alot of depression and anxiety.
I had severe post partum with my last 3 childrem pregant now 10 years alter and really want to get a handle on it
I am a 33 yr old firefighter/paramedic, divorced father of two wonderful children. Ever since I was a child I can remember having moments of feeling worried. Fearing that my parents would die or wondering if I would accomplish my goals. I hadn’t felt these type of feelings since elementary school until I went through a divorce. I am now involved in a relationship with a wonderful mother of three and we have progressed through a year of life together. We have tackled some typical relationship situations as of late and I noticed that those uncomfortable feelings have tried to come back. I am looking for information on where these feelings are coming from and how to control them.
My mother has alzheimers and my step-dad just passed away. He was her buffer and also kept her aware of things. Since I am the only one of the siblings that lives around here it falls on me to do whatever needs to be done. I need someone to talk to. Besides that I am a single parent with a disabled daughter still at home. My sons are on their own so I carry the “load” myself. Mom is getting to the point where she is very impatient with me. Usually I go to see her every day but don’t have much emotional/physical strength to continue to do so. She lives in assisted care so I hope she is getting good care. She probably can’t understand that I need time to take care of my daughter and myself too.
I am also living with chronic pain,ptsd, BPD, SAD, Fibro, anxiety,and now my pych thinks I have soft bipolarII. I am trying to find meds that will help all this stuff and other options. All I want is to have my joy back and feel normal again. I am taking celexa and effexor.
I have general aniexty disorder and get very down on occasion. My wife has bipolar and needs me to be strong for the both of us and our children.
I would like to better understand her disorder with the hope of helping her.
I have 2 beautiful children. My daughter is 13. My son is 10. They are quite a handful.
I AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC THAT ALWAYS ROOTS FOR THE UNDERDOG. I LOVE WATCHING FOOTBALL AND READING TRUE CRIME BOOKS. I ALWAYS TRY TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN OTHERS.
This illness (bipolar depression) makes me feel very isolated and the more alone I feel the more anxious I become. I’ve been battling depression all my life but didn’t really suffer with continual anxiety until I became pregnant with my daughter. After she was born I was diagnosed as bipolar and was started on meds. Almost 18 years later, I am still trying to find the right combo.
Now that I’m 50, I’m experiencing even more things to make me anxious. Not feeling needed by daughter who is a senior in high school with a car, job, and friends. My husband is busier than ever with his career and left yesterday on travel for 12 days.
I’ve given up on church people - they just want to involve me in community service and attribute my problems to hormones - funny but my gyn is not concerned with hormone issues at this time. I’m still pretty young and vital for my age. I need to interact with people who undestand what I’m going through not want to brush it under the rug. As I said before, I’m on meds and in therapy but I need some real friends who I can care about and will care about me. Friends to share fun activities with or maybe take a class with. E-mail buddies too! I tried to create AIM for myself but my daughter has an account already. Mine did not seem to take. Can you only have one free account per household?
I could also use a job. I was a proofreader up until November, until I started getting anxiety attacks at work. I never had to take anti-anxiety meds at work before and decided it must be the dictator-like boss that was causing me distress.
Being home alone is almost impossible without my Klonopin. Other meds include: Lithium, Neurontin, Serequel, Levoxyl and an occasional muscle relaxer - Zanaflex. Finding a job is so scary for me because I worry about disclosure and/or urine tests. Is there a job out there that will pay me what I’m worth (I’ve have been working on and off but mainly on since I was 19). I think I would make a great writing coach.
To add to the anxiety is acute nerve damage in my left arm that affects my left hand (from falling asleep in a chair for a little over an hour). I have to type using my left thumb - how dumb! I loved doing cross stitch and playing the violin before. I can still paint figurines (fairies and angels are my favorite using acrylic paints and spray or brush-on gloss). I am teaching myself to draw using graphite pencils and colored pencils. I’m great at writing poetry. I love to laugh at other people’s jokes and come up with some funny stuff myself from time to time. Who out there wants to have some fun!
I am currently living with severe depression. I am getting ready to see a doctor, I just dont have insurance right now. I am not sure what triggered this but its only been getting worse.
I believe my husband has emotional problems and I am trying to figure out if he might be bi-polar. Something he would probably never want to recognize…
His moods are all over the place and I feel like he is constantly dragging me on this ‘rollercoaster’ of emotions with him…
i have tried to put in my story amd use my user name- & password 4 (four) times now and it is almost 2am and I’m not typing this again. I keep trying and do nothing but fail–story of my life. Where do you want this user name–I am lost.
my mother - well, ex-stepmother has depression, maybe bipolar, And I just have questions.
