My Son

7/23/2009 10:52:59 PM

My son told me! Stay out of my life! you have never been in it. i worked 60-70-80 hr weeks in the catering business so my wife could be a stay at home mom for 15 years. it was a stressfull job. I used to be able to do any and everything for everyone. Then one day out of the blue I had my first panic attack while driving to work, This eventually ran my life and eventually ruined it. I tried Doctors, shrinks, meds, and eventually alcohol. I lost every thing! House family and the job I had 30 years went out of business. I fell apart! now after becoming severly depressed, doctors say om bipolar. Which makes sense. Started on lithium a week ago. Been having terrible mood swings! Im a 47 year old "man" that goes from hopelessness to crying ti being upset to feeling sorry for myself. Im sad, lonely and miss my family. Family and work were all ive had for the last 25 years! now im alone!

Scared, alone and stuck

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!

dont know who to believe or what to think

I have had panic attacks for a long time. now they say im bipolar. I do have all the symptoms. I ask around for advice. all i get is ask god. Do AA steps. Wife who im seperated from says its all in your head and I made it up. I hate what im going thru im scared all the time, anxious, bad mood swings, just plain dont feel rite, cant sleep, not taking good care of myself etc. I ve never been so alone scared, lost and hopeless before in my life. I dont know who to believe, listen to or what to do! im a wreck!

Panic Disorder and Bipolar??

Now the big question. Are my panic attacks a bipolar symptom or a seperate condition.

Thats the tough part. First accepting the diagnosis of being bipolar. Now wait to find out if correcting that will help the panic attacks. Its all such a big guess and an experiment. Can be a bit frustrating, but what can you do?

Depression better, anxiety seems worse

Things are not a lot better since I was here last. Have been on the lithium for a while now and was just increased. Mirtazapine was just increased to 60 mg as well. My sleep is too good and apetite great, but anxiety not so good. Just standing in the shower is hard as riding lite rail as it is elevated some of the trip. This is all so discouraging when I think about driving again. My life has been so limited by walking and taking the bus. I only see my therapist every three weeks as I go to a clinic for low income now. I had a life, a job for 30 years and a family, now i need to get back on my feet to get that back. Anxiety is not helping. I take my meds as instructed and take care of myself and am out doing things daily, so thats a plus. I just wish I knew why its like this and if I'll ever have a life again.

Depression better, anxiety seems worse

It seems that way, but I'm scared all the time. I used to be so capable, had the same job for years, took care of a family and its all gone. Ive never been without a job and its hard to find one. I really wish this could go faster. I want a life again. I miss my kids, cant go back to them until im better. This has gone on for a long time and they have been through a lot with me.

Depression better, anxiety seems worse

Am I just not being patient? I want a life again. Things are so limited right now and I miss my family. Cant go back until i "have a life" I'm lost being alone.

More on worrying

So, if you just begin to worry and you dont know how to control it, what do you do. I have been a worrier for as long as I can remember. I dont try to worry, I just do. I dont want to and I dont like it at all. My life has become worry and fear. I dont really enjoy much and havn't for a long time.
