Alone

[TK68]

Marriage falling apart. No friends. I live with Ptsd and now im starting to think im bipolar as well. My moods change without warning. I go from happy hyper to pissed off. Very little to no help from family.

I’m sorry to hear of your tough time. Have you talked to your doctor about your concerns? X

I know what you mean hun. I live in the middle of nowhere, suffering with depression and anxiety. I suffered years ago. Not this bad that it affects my work. All because my husband was sent to prison last year and I was in a lot of debt and had to go bankrupt all on my own and look after my 7 and 5 year old. It all just got on top of me. I take medication Amitriptyline 30mg and now beta blockers. I just want to feel like my old self. I’ve been in Amitriptyline since February with a couple of increases but I don’t think it’s working as well as it was anymore. I feel so lonely without my husband. My family has been torn apart over the last year. Trying to be positive and pick myself up is very very difficult. I’m very very lucky I have a very supportive and wonderful Mum.

Hello and welcome TK68, firstly you are not alone. This is a very caring and sharing community. Nice to meet you too.

You are entitled to have mood swings, and get angry - that is all part of the grieving process and doesn't necessarily mean you are bipolar. Splitting up from a partner, even if you wanted it to happen is still a bereavement and should be viewed as such. Why don't you have a chat with your Doctor again and let them know how you have felt and see then what they say. Also maybe the family don't know how to deal with all that has happened, there again you know them best.

Keep posting on here for support as you can see, we are here for you.

Let us know how you are getting on.

Best wishes,

MAS Nurse & Moderator.
