Bipolar Type II Support Group

Also, I am not sure whats around you, but there might be some free mental health care available to you. I live in the Philly area, and I have a friend who suffers from GAD and she was able to find at least a therapist for free (she doesn't work), but I know there are discounted places out there too. I am sure if you google it you can find something.

Hope things look up for you!

Always good to see new faces. I am pretty sure I've been rapid-cycling for some time now, but until I joined this group, I had no idea what that meant. It would've been nice if at least one of my docs would've told me what that was and what it meant. You seem to be on a good combo of meds, but that's kind of subjective. Everyone reacts different. Mouse is right, in that you should be able to find a sliding-scale fee service through at least one of your hospitals, where you can get in and get help.

If you're experiencing all of this, and the trauma of your uncle's unexpected death, you may just need an anti-anxiety for a while, or maybe a change in one or more of your meds.

I would definitely find out about getting help asap. I'm pretty sure every state has something like it, it's just a matter of a bit of research.

And we're always here for support, if you need to vent, a shoulder to cry on or whatever, we're always around. Hope you find it pleasant here.

Is there a county clinic or mental health clinic in your area? Calling your doctor's receptionist might get you some ideas, or look in the yellow or government pages in your phone book. Good luck and hang in there, sweetie, we're all here for you!
