Scared, alone and stuck

Lance,
 
Sorry to hear you are experiencing some difficulties. Have you spoken to your family doctor or pharmacist about the side effects of Lithium? Perhaps he or she may be able to offer you further suggestions on how to combat these symptoms.
 
You mentioned in your post that you are unsure how to fix your life. Although it may seem overwhelming to make certain changes in your life, it may be helpful to break in down into goals for yourself. Smaller realistic goals would make the process less overwhelming for you and also make it easier to complete changes that you would like to see.
 
Stay close to the boards and let us know how you are doing. Be well.

They think im bipolar, started lithium a week ago. Emotions are all over the place. Im scared alone, lost and dont know what to do. Im starting my life all over again and dont know how. ive never been alone and not handling it very well. I am scared!
The lithium is making me tired, try to rest and wake up in a panic. I ruined my life and dont know how to fix it. I dont enjoy doing anything, so dont know what to do with my self! im really lost and lonely!
