I need help about Mental health... PLEASE!!!?

Question

Ok... To start I will say I have bipolar. I have had a really depressed time lately... I have the IUD, but I keep like seeing myself pregnant and thinking I am... I mean it is a possibility but I dont know... I have been really depressed... I feel like crying... I feel like some of my life is fake and other is real... that is exactally how I feel. I am really worried... I feel like I am going crazy... Not just saying it... I feel like I am totally out of it..

Please dont say go get mental help or anything rude... I go to counseling and it dont help... I go there with my own research and that is how I get anything figured out with my health.

Another thing is I just need a break... I have went over a year and not been away from either of my children for more then 6 hours for school. I just need a weekend break and I try to tell my parents that and I never get it. I went out yesterday to garage sales with my mom and had fun and then 4 hours later I came home to a hectic house...

I have really bad racing thoughts of stuff I CAN NOT control... and to the above comment... I love my children but I need a BREAK!!!

The only time my kids go to school is when I am. My parents cant watch my kids... I guess they could but wont... I know I have issues, but I am about to break! I feel like NOBODY understands me... My kids are really HYPER!!! I REFUSE to give them up to social services cuz I am not doing the fight to get them back!

Answer 1

Sounds like your medication is not working. Try getting a baby sitter for your kids once in awhile. Get away and go to a movie or out on the town. Read a book about positive thinkinig. "Real Magic" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer is a good one. Good Luck!

Answer 2

"see yourself as pregnant, have the IUD...feel like some of my life is fake and other is real...really worried...like I am going crazy...like I am totally out of it...depressed" and "...go to counseling with my own research and that is how I get anything fugured out with my health"

Hi. I've been in a similar place, and I feel for you tonight.
Sounds like either the medications, or the research or the counseling isn't working for you .... you're pretty miserable and confused ... time to ask your psychiatrist to re-address your medication dosages... this just doesn't sound right.

Unfortunately, symptoms of the disorder is confusion and conflicting feelings and uncertain thoughts along with depression. When a person's thoughts and perceptions can not be trusted - it takes someone outside of you to consider what it is you need. Trust is hard in that situation, but it is the only way out.

Do try to simplify your life and responsibilities between now and when you make it to the psychiatrist. Life will go a little easier for you until your meds can be adjusted. First, tell your mom - " I am sick, I need to get to the Dr. and I really can't take care of my kids right now"
If your mom can't or won't keep the kids for a few days, call Social Services - tell them, you are sick and can't take care of your kids right now. They will work with you and help you to find the care you need, and your kids need. Their GOAL is to get the kids back into YOUR HOME in YOUR CARE as quickly as possible.

you know,

this actually may not be some deep dramatic thing that u need counseling for...or u may, i don't know the entire situation.

but sometimes simple stress, like...not having a break, can disrupt an entire level of mental health.
i really think u could be totally fine.....
just could be having a "mini freak-out" lol....
b/c of the stress.

and don't just let it build and then have a huge get away break.

they are in school for 6 hours.....but try once a week, letting them go somewhere after schooll, say wednesdays and gain a few more hours.

that could be "your" special week day.

hope this helps.

i know how you feel. ive been dealing with double depression since my son and i lost everything and had to go to a shelter. it took me about 9months to find a program to go to. its an out patient mental health clinic run by the local hospital. it sucks too but the doctor there is still screwing with my meds which doesnt help. i have in my class 3 bi polar people and i watch how they suffer. it is very hard and finding the right meds for you is a process too. i really feel all these experts of mental health dont know **** really. sometimes they do more harm than good. my problem was i was crying all the time and it wasnt the councellors who helped me, it was getting on the right medication so i could start helping myself. just know that your not alone. take care !!!

Answer 5

Try finding a friend, Sounds like your lonely and that has alot to with depression. Get out and have a cup of coffee, set on a bench and watch the folks go by, change what you are doing. Get off the computer and talk to real people.

Answer 6

Quite as it is+
kept, alot of people feel this way.. the world is so screwed that if you actually sat back and thought about all the hurt and pain, and bills, and worries, we would all find ourselves wanting to cry too...
The key is to not worry, pray. If you cannot change it, do not worry about it.
All you have to do is go to the mall, people watch.. go to a park and watch the kids play worry free, this can make you feel better..
Please do not let the weight of the world sit on your shoulders, you are only one person and you can do is what you can do..

Good Luck..

Answer 7

well then... i would try to get to the root of why exactly you're feeling this way. Try to go do something happy with your friends, like shopping or a spa day! I'm sure that might cheer you up a bit! another thing that helps is to go excersize! it will make you feel good about yourself. I really hope you feel better soon and that everything turns out the way you want it to. =]
