Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Dear Ones...I have been going through a very difficult time 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. I am beyond tired, and pretty weary. Thank God for family, friends, and caring doctors and therapists. I would love your prayers. Tenderly...
