Bipolar and Recovering from a Hosptial Stay

Bipolar and Recovering from a Hospital StayMood swings are pretty terrible mentally, but they also affect the body physically. I remember when my partner Ivan got out of the hospital after three months. He was just so tired. His body was tired and he needed a lot of time to recover. My mother was on a plane ride during that time and happened to talk to a doctor sitting next to her. She told him about Ivan and the doctor said, “It can take up to a year for someone to get back to where they were before they got so sick.” None of us wanted to believe this! But it was basically true. The good news is that Ivan completely got back to normal sooner than a year, but it was a tough year for sure! It has been thirteen years since then. That seems impossible! He still deals with a lot of mood swings, but overall he is doing very well.  He never got that sick again. I am thankful! Julie

    Election jitters. I have found that the election has made me very jumpy and even though it is over and a winner has been declared, I am still feeling anxious about the changes that the new president will bring. I am not referring to whether or not Barak Obama was my preferred candidate, I am referring to some anxiety and mania I am feeling in reaction to the excitement and uncertain changes. Anybody else going thru this?

    Hi everyone – I could use some help – I just got word that I have 30 days to find a new position in my company or they will lay me off. Needless to say this has caused a massive depressive episode – I am talking to multiple recruiters but their is still the fear that I will not choose the right company – I am having huge mood swings – any suggestions?

    hi Noa, I will answer your question on a blog post this evening. Julie

    I am unable to stop focusing on the economic situation. I can’t seem to stop worrying about the future and this is just feeding into my triggers. If anyone has a good suggestion about this, I would appreciate it.

    hi goodguy, I answered this question on a blog above. Julie
