Re: struggling - for Tess

[Guest guest]

Tess,

I am so sorry you are going through such a bad time. Of course, I

will keep you in my prayers. Hopefully, things will get better for

you soon as the meds get in your system and start working. With all

of our health issues, it is no wonder we get depressed. I too am on

an antidepressant and it seems to have finally kicked in. It helps

keep my mood stabilized and I am less depressed now so I pray the

same happens for you.

Love, prayers and hugs from Maine,

Tracie

emotionally. Many of you know about my struggle with depression.

For the past few weeks I have been seriously depressed, then unable

to sleep because of such a wound-up mind refusing to slow down. I

have tried all the relaxation techniques, tea, warm milk, sticking

to bedtime routine, etc. Anyway, the dr's feel now I have Bipolar

2, which is like the more well known Bipolar 1 (Manic Depressive

Illness) except the manic phases are more contained (such as the

horrible, sleep deprived nights) and the severe depression being the

most common part of the disease. I have been rx'd lamictal (a mood

stabilizer) that they believe, in conjunction with the Cymbalta

(antidepressant) might be of some help to me. I have had to make

several visits to the hospital in the past week as these meds have

been not working well yet.
