Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Heya @Birdofparadise8 ,

 

 I’ll reply to your email shortly.

 

As for meds, I’ve been on anti-depressants, mood stabilisers, anti-psychotics… the lot.

 

All I know is what worked and what didn’t work lol.

 

Glad you could get out today. Enjoy your cookie! I love anything choc choc and choc but I can’t have too much.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, is the tremor from the meds?

I’ve been exhausted, had a couple of rough days so I am laying low

Re: Not Coping

Hi @tyme 

I'm lucky to get out my motivation was very low this morning it was a real struggle. I'm glad I pushed myself I didn't want to sit in my room all day and cry and feel sorry for myself. I can do that when I get back. 

Choclate who doesn't love chocolate. I know I probably should eat less as well. 

Did the mood stabiliser help at all?

Re: Not Coping

Yes, I think so. Apparently, it's a common side effect, so just my luck @creative_writer 

Okay I feel you there. I'm sorry. 

Re: Not Coping

I was on the mood stabilizer for AGES... who knows if it helped? I was so out of it back then. I just had a concoction of meds and I can't say what helped on its own and what didn't. 

 

Put it this way, when I was taken off them, I didn't feel any different @Birdofparadise8 

Re: Not Coping

Oh okay really that’s interesting.

I haven't noticed anything with this one yet.

My thyroid is also a bit low so that could be contributing to how I feel. I’m very tired even though I have been sleeping okay @tyme 

My Pdoc didn't seem too concerned with it being low. 

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, I think it’s worth keeping an eye on thyroid since it can have a big impact on us emotionally and some meds can affect it too. I know my uncle had issues with his thyroid, I don’t think it help with his existing bipolar

Re: Not Coping

Yeah my Pdoc said the new Med I'm on can make my thyroid worse @creative_writer 

What are you up to?
