[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 148278, member: 1514"] Christie...I also get mired down into the depression side of the bipolar. Because I also have a chronic pain condition this always makes my pain worse which just makes my depression worse. Its a horrible cycle. I cant tell you how many times I have heard the stuff about just think positively, do something fun, its all in my head and I just have to not think these things...you know the drill. I dont care how badly I feel I still have to function at some level because no one really gets it. I honestly think my family thinks I am just putting it on and giving in and that it really cant be that bad. Harumph. They get the flu and act like the world has stopped. They dont get it when I am less than sympathetic to their illness because that is what I feel like every day! I dont know about your body system but I cant take any of the anti-depressants. They make me worse. I have to have a mood stabilizer or two on board to feel even functional. But...at least 3 days or more out of a week I am in the bed except for giving rides. I simply dont have the gumption to do anything...even as simple as showering and getting dressed. Keep calling the doctor until they get you on something that works. Sadly most medications take a few weeks to feel the effect. [/QUOTE]
