I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 1. So what’s going on with you?

Hi! I’m just in a depressive episode right now. Have been for a couple of months. Trying so hard to rise back up. Doc increased one of my meds but it hasn’t kicked in yet. Just tired of feeling alone in my own home

I hear ya. That’s a long time to be feeling depressed because even one day of feeling depressed is hard. My heart goes out to you. I really hope your new med kicks in soon and work well for you. What med is it?

I have been having drastic mood swings lately myself. Yesterday I felt so good that I didn’t want to go to sleep for fear I would wake up anxious and depressed but I slept and I felt bad as I woke but trying my best to not worry so much as that would be sending me into a downward spiral if I’m not careful. Trying to be calm and positive and focus on the present one day at a time, sometimes focus on one moment at a time.

What do you think you can try in order to feel less alone? Just know that we are here for you here.

oh yes I used to take abilify. I hear a lot of success stories with it. I actually for some reason got the abilify shot in my hip every month.
