My wife is bipolar and is a rapid cycler. She was taking lithium, but had a toxic reaction (her third) and went off it. She's still on Cymbalta, but her moods are more extreme than ever. Even when she's stable on meds, it's so hard to know what to expect on a minute to minute basis. How do others cope? What do you tell grandchildren about her moods? Serious answers only, please.

CLOAK OF LAUGHTER

I WEAR A CLOAK OF LAUGHTER
LEST ANYONE SHOULD SEE
MY DRESS OF SORROW UNDERNEATH
AND STOP TO PITY ME

I WEAR A CLOAK OF LAUGHTER
LEST ANYONE SHOULD GUESS
THAT WHAT IS HID BENEATH IT
IS LESS THAN HAPPINESS

BUT, AH, WHAT DOES IT MATTER
TO YOU WHO ARE SO WISE?
MY CLOAK FALLS TATTERED AT MY FEET
BEFORE YOUR TENDER EYES.

FOR CLOAKS TO COVER SORROW
ARE MEANT FOR STRANGER FOLK
ONE CANNOT HIDE AWAY FROM FRIENDS
BENEATH A LAUGHING CLOAK

OH, FUTILE CLOAK OF LAUGHTER,
HOW FRAIL YOU ARE AND THIN!
LOVE LOOKS THROUGH YOU SO EASILY
AND SEES THE GRIEF WITHIN.

I'm serious. It is humiliating. Every so often I get hormone imbalances and I turn into an emotional depressed freak. I try to have mind control and be normal...but I'm like an emotional rollercoaster. That's why I hate being human.

My best friend has been diagnosed with BPD. She has tried commiting suicide 3-4 times in the last 5 months. She is getting help, has been hospitalized several times, is heavily medicated, and has even gone through a course of ECT treatments. My problem is this.....it's getting old....I know that part of her problem is she can't be left alone, but I have a fiancee and a 2 year old to worry about as well.....I just found out that she tried again last night and is sitting in the psych ward again! I can't "babysit" her 24/7 because her negative view on life is starting to bring me down. Is it time for tuff love? How do I try to make her understand that she has to make a conscious decision to make her self better?

Where does this come from...is it in the literature anywhere...it does not sound like people should be saying this because ...feelings are defined as moral or emotional sensitivity...state that would be a fact...

can anyone please help?

When I look at my parents, I truly get this impression... and I often feel it when it comes to males I like.. that one really needs to take care of them cause otherwise they go confused and do stupid things, and get the feeling that they don't belong to anybody and... oh they cannot even say it, cause they are men and they are supposed to be seen as strong!!!

Is this really so?

Please, men answers... but honestly..... nobody is watching here now, it is anonymous!

Ok, this is going to be long, bare with me. lol. Ok, I've suffered from major (or physcotic) depression,bipolar, and severe anxiety since i was 7 (now 20). It has caused me so many problems such as peptic ulcers, migranes, constant nausea (I could keep going on too). On top of everything, my husband was injured in iraq this time last year, and I had a son this christmas past, but he died a month later. I've been going out of my mind, and it's really hurting my husband. Worst of all, my want of a child is really hurting our relationship (he's not ready because of the possibility of the next child being born with the same condition as our son). Anyway, the point of all this is I really cant find a medication to help all my mental problems. I was on zantac and wellbutrin, but they both made me very sick. I'd appreciate recommendations from anyone who actually made it through my life story. Thanks!
