Bipolar in the family Support Group

Right now i am very confused i do not know if what i am feeling physically is from depression or from something else. i am have pains all over, dull pains, i feel weak, i cant seem to keep my thoughts together, my memory does not seem as sharp as normal. i feel on edge, real grouchy. i have had some of these feelings before due to caffine so i have started cutting it out or at least trying but i love my dr peppers. but i am not sure what these feelings are from i almost feel crazy.

I think you need to see a doctor. It could be anything. It's a good idea to cut down on the caffeine since that can complicate things.

i agree that i need to see a dr but due to finacial problems i will not be able to pay for one right now. i believe that alot of our problems are stemming from these problems. it seems like everytime we are about to get where we need to be something else happens. my truck has broke down 2xs in the last month 1st time it cost us over $700 this time it is right at $400. then i locked the motor up in the lawn mower because i assumed he checked the oil and did not. we have a huge yard no way we can cut it in this heat with a push mower. we were told it might be fixable but would cost a couple hundred. it is always something. i think if we can get past this it would help. hard to work on other things when you have all that going on.

Where are you from? Are there any low costs clinics around? I'm sorry you are having a hard time.

there is one clinic but from what i understand alot of the counselors are not certified or at least did not have to go through as much schooling. i have only been able to find one counselor that i was comfortable with and then she moved to another clinic. you can only go to the clinic in the county you live in therefore i could not continue to see her. i do not want to make progress and have another person move and it happens frequently there.

notsosure , Depression can manifest itself with physical changes as well as emtional changes.
