Bipolar Support Group

I don't remember the last time I had a manic depressive crash this major. I'm utterly miserable. I went out with a friend today and I had to leave because I was too depressed to function. I have thoughts of hurting myself and I'm considering going to the hospital because they are unbareable. I don't want to start an anti-depressant because they make me grandios and manic that leads to psychoticness. It's 4 am in LA and I can't sleep. I just don't know what to do. I just want to be happy but it feels impossible. any suggesstions?

Hello Bipolarbutterful

the hospital sounds like a good idea because of your thoughts

they may be able to help you feel stable

I can relate to the feeling and inability to function

but I don't know a lot

thank you. I thought about the hospital but I hate 51/50. I'm trying to hang on till my Tuesday psychiatrist appt. I'm taking it one day at a time. The hospital depresses me more because I'm locked up but then again when I'm released I'm just so appreciative of being out of being behind locked doors. I have mixed feelings. If it gets worse I'll go to the hospital. thank you so much. I appreciate your comment...

I cant sleep either sweetie!

Going to the hospital sounds like a wonderful idea. If you are having thoughts and feelings of hurting youself it is best to seek professional attention. We are always here for you if you need support and we will do our best to make you feel better, but it would make me feel so much better if you would seek professional help.

Why the downfall? Just out of the blue?

I crashed when my daughters left and crashed hard. I couldn't function at all. My hubby had to do everything for me. I'm getting better everyday. We're also having financial problems which I know will be resolved. I'm just very overwhelmed and stressed.
