Dual Diagnosis Support Group

Hi, Steve, it is quiet around here lately, isn't it? I hope that means everyone is doing good. It seems like it never fails, we go through weeks of depression, finally get into see the docs, and on that day we feel 100% better. I'm glad you're feeling better, though. That's good. Have a Happy New Year.

ya ..thanks alot..its weird that i couldnt feel better the day i went in..but it wAs true..so i supose its a good thing for sure. happy new year to u an yours .

I was asleep by 11:00 last night but kept getting woke up by people who were celebrating the New Year. I should have just stayed up, I guess. I took my Seroquel so there was no way I could stay awake, though. But so far 2010 is a good year. This 1/2 of a day has been good. I hope you're having a good one. And everyone else, too.

its back an worse than before ..gettin really hard to hold my job down..gettin really bad..already on shaky ground anyways..started seenin thyings that wernt there at work..not good..all crazy shit goin threw my head..i aM slowly comming down off opiates right now for the last time for this time i was honest with em all about it..but dunno cause last time i started feelin like this i got hospitalized . tryin hang but its gettin bad..

I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, Steve. Why do you think you're seeing things? Because of the bipolar or because of withdrawal from the opiates? In either case a stay in the hospital might not be so bad, they could monitor your situation, tweak meds, maybe even get you off the opiates once and for all. I know how hard it is to hold down a job and go through all of this, I had to give up work and go on disability a couple of years ago. That was a tough decision. I hope you start feeling better one way or another soon.

I am sorry I haven't been around. I am unable to get my computer hooked up at my new place so I am relying on others. Sorry I haven't been around much but I am pulling for you. I have had to in patient stays since Thanksgiving......kinda away to get away from it all I guess. My meds haven't been changed. My unemployment is getting screwed up but I am trying to live in today. This disability crap is keeping me busy filling out paper after paper and then remembering who to send them to. Hang in there Steve and Rhonda thanks for taking care of the group.
