does this ever stop

I go thru MHMR because I have no insurance and can't keep a job to pay for this stuff. We get the worst doctors, Once and a while we get a dr. that is a bipolar doctor but for the most part I don't feel that they understand bipolar at all.

It has to stop. I don't know what to do. I hurt all over. Can't keep from crying. My son went away to college a few months ago and I miss him terribly. How do I make it stop. I can't take anymore of this.

SO So sorry to hear of your pain. I hope you get some help soon.

Have you thought of checking yourself into the hospital as an emergency patient? They have to do something for you. I hurt terribly when I was depressed all the time. My body ached and I was so hypersensitive sometimes I just hurt thinking about physical effort or touch.

Being in so much pain is real. It is proven the depressed are in a lot of pain. I'd just go to the ER and ask for help. Your doc sounds like a jerk to me.

Good Wishes.

I'm a graduate student right now and my semester ends next week. Do you think your son might be able to help you out a little inbetween semesters? I have young children and I think it would be really hard to lay my problems on them, but I also know that when my parent need help, like surgery or whatever, I'm always more than happy to help out. Just a thought, something to think about. Good luck, and keep going. We all know about the pain and stuff, it's real and we feel for you!

I feel for you, too. I also know that not alot of bipolars can take anti depressants, and if you can find another pdoc, it might be a good idea.

I went through a terrible depression, that helped me get help just recently.

I hope you can find some help, too.There is some things you can do, in the meantime. Keep a regular schedule, eat chocolate, get a good support network. If you have family or friends you can check in with and call. Get into the sun, take a walk. Don't isolate. Take care of yourself. Know that you are important to your kids, and us. Keep us updated on your situation.

gog bless, Gypsy

I am so glad to hear you were finally able to get a doctor to listen to you and change your medications. All meds are not created equal and sometimes we have to be our own advocate! It takes a lot to stand up for ourselves when it comes to doctors. I think a lot of that has to do with being confused and always questioning ourselves regarding if what we are feeling is real or just an xacerbated state of emotion. Getting eucated by researching bipolar can be empowering provided the medications used are not interfering with our ability to comprehend what we are reading.

Please keep us updated on how you are doing on the new meds.
