Hi guys, I`ve been feeling depressed since the 14th. I just feel unhappy right now. This is with my meds too. I take lithium and I can`t hold a cup of tea without spilling it. It`s hard to put make up on too. I just had to let it out, I know you don`t mind because we are here to support one another. I just feel weird. Anyway I hope I wasn`t a bummer. Thanks for being there.
I'm sorry you're unhappy in this post. I take lithium too and spill my coffee on myself all the time. But you know what? I don't really care if I spill coffee. Because of the depression aspect of my bipolar, I had to pick my battles of what I can let under my skin, and my shaking hands wasn't one of them.
I have read your posts all over the place and you always try to help people. You have a golden heart so if your depression tells you otherwise, just reread your posts and you'll know your depression is lying.
Hi xycindy, Better late than never! I just wanted to thank you for your response and kind words. I can always come back here and read your post, to make me feel better.

You have contributed so much to help our community; in every sense you are our "Amazing Member". Now that you are depressed, I would like to draw your attention to an important resource.
Your psychiatrist is no doubt familiar with the "Expert Consensus Guideline Series" (http://www.psychguides.com/ecgs4.php) for the treatment of Bipolar Disorder. The above flowchart is from these experts. You and your psychiatrist could review your past treatments, and see if this flowchart suggests a new direction for your therapy.
You know that each depression is painful, but time-limited. May this episode of depression leave as quickly as it came.
Aww Sheerlin hun im sorry your feeling depressed. I hate it when depression comes. No fun. I cant say much to help you out. i dont think there really is much that can help with hte feelings except meds. I hope it improves for you
Life & Death Energy & Peace If i stopped today. It was fun. Even the terrible pains that burned me & scarred me. My soul is worth it for having been allowed to walk where i've walked. Which was to hell on earth Heaven & earth back again,into,under, far inbetween, through it, in it, far and above it!
Depression is truly an ugly beast that needs slaying. I am convinced that meds alone are not enough. I will attempt over the next three months to kick my own depression. I will use a combination of diet, exercise, group therapy, and CBT, as well as a few medication tweaks.
We will see who comes out on top.
