Quote From: ivyb25I am crazy at the moment. My doc is not listening to me as far as meds are concerned. I have to go see him on Wednesday. I am sorry to hear about your husband. I am extremely overwhelmed right now. I feel very manic as far as cleaning my house, irritated, and then all at the same time I am extremely depressed. People have always called me the Joker and I am tired of entertaining and being the one to make everyone else laugh. The moment I am alittle in my own mind (so to speak) I am told my my husband that I need to relax. I get pissed off very easily and don't know who to talk to because it is hard to explain to my hubby and kids and now my doc won't even hear me out. I am just really stressed but I am hoping to make some improvement by Wednesday. I will keep in touch. Thanks for caring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you are experiencing a mixed episode; where you experience both ends of the spectrum at the same time. It can be very exhausting! I tend to struggle more with the depressive end of the disorder (so my house is a mess lol).
I so hope your pdoc will listen to you on Wednesday and you get the med adjustment you need. What meds are you currently on? What meds do you want to try? It took me SEVERAL med adjustments over a few years before I found the right combo. I hope you find relief very soon!
Keep posting and take care. :)
