First of all, I wanted to let everyone know that I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. God knows what you are going through and He will help you with your unique situation in His way and in His timing. ((hugs))

I'm having some major issues. I'm taking medications (Depokote and Abilify) and I know I'm manic right now. I can feel myself flying (as high as I can while being on the medications) and I can also feel the crash coming on. I've been on this high for several weeks now. I know the crash is coming and it's going to be bad and I don't know what to do. About a month ago (back in Montana) I was in a group home kind of place. It was more for stabilization--pretty relaxed when compared to a hospital. Most of the people there were for stabilization from drugs and alchohol. Anyway, I am now living with my parents and my dad does not agree with mental health stuff at all. He kind of thinks I like the attention and stuff. I don't. As we all know....it's not about gaining attention. Anyway again, I'm supposed to start working at the hotel I used to work at for front desk on Monday. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it. Basically I just have so much fear and I have no idea what to do. Any advice or kind words or encouragement or anything??

Thanks in advance!! ((hugs))

MAY HAVE TRIGGERS BELOW!!!

I am so scared. It's coming...the crash. I've been manic now for weeks and I feel it coming on. I just moved back in with my parents and my dad doesn't understand any of this. He's going to be so angry with me if I end up back in the hospital. I don't know what's going to happen and I don't know who to turn to. I'm sorry I posted this here. I just need to get it out and maybe somebody will have some answer...or will just be there. I've never been more terrified because I know what happens when I crash. I just don't know what to do.

Try and calm down first It hasn't happened yet Perhaps this time it won't be as bad as last time and if it is your meds should be able to help you if not I would suggest getting them changed You will making it worse by worring so much

I would give my pdoc a call and see what they suggest for you to do Hope this helps and sending many hugs your way

I'm still trying to calm down. I called the place I'm going to tomorrow and they told me some things to do and said if it gets bad tonight then to go to the ER. My appointment is at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow so I'm doing my best to make it. Thanks for replying to me Gigi. I appreciate that. I'll let you all know what happens tomorrow.

Lizzie_Belle, I think gigi gave you some good advice and you made the right decisions too. Please post when you can and let us know how things are. You are in my prayers. Hugs, Rain.
