Has anyone had to go in for depression or bipolar?


What do they do for you , my therapist is thinking I need to go into an in house treatment for my depression that is part of my bipolar.


Has anyone had grief so bad that the depression ate at them until they thought they would die?


My grief over a death is terrible , I am not suicidal and I am under the care of a therapist  but I do not think I can handle this greif alone, alone as in a weekly visit to my therapist.     I am on bipolar meds and anxiett meds but stilll I am barely functioning and I am ready to curl up and never uncurl.


Does anyone relate to any of this pain?


PM if you want privacy.


I am afraid to go inpatient because I do not know anyone who has before so I have no one ot ask what it is like inside     , I am just afraid to go .
                                 
 

Happy Tuesday..

Today I am grateful..

For bacon and eggs.. Little did I know just how much they meant to me..

For special friendships that last no matter what..

For a good time this past weekend..

For phone calls, that I thought I would never get, from people that have not always been a fan of mine..

For day eight coming and going..

It's been close to a week that I've been on Deplin . www.deplin.com/DeplinFacts,HowItWorks

I take it to augment my Zoloft. So far, the suicidal thoughts have been brought way down. The "stinkin' thinkin'" is strangely curtailed. I say strange because the way it happens. When the thoughts start, they just seem too halt mid thought and fade away.

It says it usually take 4 -6 weeks for full effect. But it's already made a difference for me in those two areas.

I'm not out of the house yet. Still not exercising and doing social things. But I have hope that this will help.

Just hit 18 years myself and it's still just one day sober at a a time.  congratulations on your 60 days.  don't you love chips?  i live for that stuff LOL.... like getting a gold star on my spelling test, only better!  your honesty is where it's at, i'm happy to hear it and you keep it simple and keep your eyes on the prize, because there is truly no better way to live.

Hey Donna,

Are you taking pills or crushing your meds? 

I know every dr. is different but I am not to have any whole pills until 6 weeks post op.  I'm on the chewable pepcid 2x a day for my GERD and it's really helping.

Maybe try taking your meds with warm liquid.  I've heard that helps to get them down.
