I have felt so great for the past 1-2 weeks. Got a lot of things done..Ive been pretty productive. I feel like im winding down real fast..Im back to being sluggish, feel like im drowning, not wanting to get out of bed, no motivation, no desire..What do I do?Is there a way to prevent this??I promise my kids fun things to do when im feeling great, an hour later im feeling like the world is just crushing me, to get up and fulfill a commitment I made to them is like picking up a 100 lb brick, i can't do it?? Then they sit in disappointment..Im back to wishing I wouldnt wake up in the morning...

My eating habits are getting worse, i am craving candy or sweet stuff like crazy. It makes me feel sooo great just to get that sugar..I have been thinking about this a lil bit..My mother/father was alcoholics...Umm, well, they still are UGH...I seen what it done to them and for some reason turned me SO off..I no it can be so easy for me to become..But i have no desire to put my children thru what I went thru as a child..So, i am struggling with an eating issue..I am just 13 lbs away from what a woman my height and age should weigh..But if i dont watch it carefully i can stray WAY WAY away from that.. I dont no what to do here..I try to start every day a new day, its just not happening for me..

Im feeling like I need a higher dose of meds.. I go to my pdoc on Friday so we will see?

My name is Amber, Im 30 years old..Married for almost 12 years to my wonderful husband (together for 14). We have 2 children boy/girl. I have recently been diagnosed having Bipolar II.
Im glad to have found this website..I have lots of supportive people in my family. There is nothing else like having people to come to that truely understand, exactly what you are going thru or feeling!

Do you think it could be your body adjusting to your new meds?

Dear Momof2rugrats,

It sounds as though you have been in a manic episode and are on the way down to a bit of depression with regrets. You probably need a medication adjustment. It's good you're going to see your doctor on Friday. I'll keep you in prayer. Let me know how it goes?

Feeling guilty about not keeping promises to your children? Yes, I've done that, too. That again sounds like mania and then the fatigue which comes with it when the rubberband that keeps you running on high is winding down. What about setting up some king of checklist for yourself to use when you feel like this is beginning to happen again. When you are feeling high, use the checklist of what to watch for and guard against doing which you have felt remorse for in the past, i.e. making promises you don't or can't keep. When you are feeling like doing something big or grandiose, stop and write it down first. Leave it for a time and come back to see if you still feel like following through with it. If so, THEN you tell your children what you'd like to plan with them.

Oh, I've spoken more than enough here. Sorry for the run-on.

Hugs and Hopes!

MsBImbo

Welp, its 4 a.m. and I'm on one of my highs, I'm already dreadign the crash that is gonna take place tomorrow! I beginning to realise the signs when a high is coming, yesterday I cleaned house all day and today I ran errands, cleaned house... it's like I'm bouncing off the walls! To me, the best way to describe it is "like being on drugs wihtout actually being on drugs!" The coming down is the worst tho, I know that after I take my little girl to school in the morning, I will have to take my meds and I will most likely crash out for most of the day... it's rough stuff. If u read this tonite, please say a prayer for me!- I know I'm going to need them!

Magicone - You shouldnt feel guilty about having this site!!I wouldnt post anything if my husband was standing behind my back LOL..I would be a nervous wreck..I post when he is not around..So I can say what I want and not have to worry about it?

Speaking of husbands..I need to eat breakfast and get ready so I can help him at the shop!!I get to smell like a machine shop today YAY...
