I'm so glad your pushing through this awful time. You and your work mean a great deal to me. I wait each day to see if you've posted something to the blog - it feels like a lifeline sometimes. I have been having a difficult patch with my marriage and there have been times that those "dark thoughts" as I call them have swirled through my mind. I am combatting them with better self-care. For me that has been an exercise regimen more extreme than any I've ever done. I have been working out in various ways 6 days a week for 45-60 minutes a day. I have been going with other people so I have some accountability and support. I've found that not only do I feel more capable and in control but that my sexual thoughts which plague me constantlly have been decreased in intensity as well as frequency. Thanks so much for being the you that you are. Ever since I first heard you speak I have felt as though I'm not alone in this battle with Bipolar Disorder. Hi Melissa, thanks for your kind words. It was awful- and knowing that others are helped by my experiences makes it a bit easier! I am SO glad that the sexual thoughts are lessening. That can be a real burden- and scary too- Many people say exericise helps them stay stable. I also agree that the people we have around us determines our stability! Julie Hey Julie!

I think we've all been there once or five million times. Don't give up and don't give in. As my husband and I always say :This too shall pass". I've given up before. The hospital stay is not worth it. I’m with you. I think we’ve all been there once or five million times. Don’t give up and don’t give in. As my husband and I always say :This too shall pass”.

I’ve given up before. The hospital stay is not worth it.

I've been on all the antidepressants and now I'm on Pristiq. It is fairly new and works like a charm. It pulled me up in four days and there are no side effects. It is so hard to keep fighting when the depression hits. I've been feeling pretty good now for over a year. Would love if you checked my site: bipolaroni Take care. Hi Rita, That is GREAT news about the Pristiq. We have to just keep trying new stuff. Julie I’ve been with you in the dumps more times than I care to remember.
