Sex is always a happy way to spend some time...

What about music? It can change my mood drastically.

I am not too sure about that one J_B.... I just am.. it happens, I just deal with it as it comes... it may last longer than I like it to, but I don't have full control over that

Have you tried medication, crazielady? I have clinical depression and medication helps by evening out those deep black holes.

I do hope you feel better soon. Sometimes it seems so out of control that you can wonder if it will ever leave.

I'm on my way to Denver tomorrow, but I'll be thinking of you, sending cheerful, supportive thoughts your way.

breathe

I mean it, slow, deep, breaths.

Put your feet flat on the floor and sit comfortably. Clear the racing thoughts and feelings from your mind. Just breathe. Inhale in to a count of four, hold it to a count of five, and exhale out to a count of seven. Don't think of anything but your counts. Take five breaths like this, closing your eyes if you can.

After the fifth breath, simply sit and be at peace for a minute. Breathe without counting, just be relaxed. Slowly let the outside world back into your thought process.

The entire exercise takes about one minute.

I am bipolar.. I took myself off the meds a few years back, just didn't make me feel right

Ok, I will, but I may have to do it a little later, the phones won't stop ringing long enough for me to do that right now and I can't get away from my desk

She's been told several times that this will not just go away and that every few weeks or months we go though this. She won't listen so don't even bother.

Crazie, PLEASE get back to a doctor.

I was waiting for this one..... They are in the middle of switching my insurance right now and I talked to my mother, she is going to recommend me to a good doctor in January, after the holidays are over and the insurance is all set... it covers therapy and all

And I do listen, though at the time I may not fully take it all in, it sticks with me, trust me it does... It echoes off the walls of my mind.

And like I posted, I am not here to complain right now at all, I am just here to try and cheer up... I am not the only person in the world that gets down and blue, so I figured others may have remedies that may help me get through this until I can see the doctor...

You've been diagnosed as bipolar and YOU took yourself off your meds.

I was just today reading about the guy shot by air marshalls. He was bipolar and had quit taking his meds.

It is good that you recognize when the mood is shifting.

Even without insuarace -- can't you call your old doctor and get back on the meds? Can you afford the prescription?

My condition is not that bad, I am bipolar 2.... I have never had a grandiose (sp?) experience either....

I think this is due to the fact that I am med free, when I was on the meds, I wasn't me anymore, I was a zombie... now I know when I am depressed and I make myself get through it because I will not go back to the way it used to be

No... one reason I stopped going was because I called one day, I was maybe 17 years old at the time, and I told them I wanted to kill myself, their response "We are busy, we will call you later"... now I wasn't the type to call and ask for help ever... and they ignored me.. thank god for the school counsellor

I get a seasonal depression and its been made worse over the years by some tragedies that Ive internalized waay too much and made myself feel guilty.
Without getting all zombed up (when I teach , I have to be at the top of my fast ball cause some of these kids come freom very diverse backgrounds and are in an elite U) Ive seen some colleagues on Prozac and they can barely reconstruct equations unless thyere written down. Being someone in the arts or sciences means learning to del with depression and even using it as a tool.

My depression goes awy by mid Jan, as the light goes higher in the sky. I do take Vit B6 and B12 and find that they can be a good temporary "little helper"
ALWAYS< ALWAYS< take Vitamin B's on a full stomach or just after a snack. Otherwise most people will blow their lunches o an empty tank.

Do you feel hopeless or sad all the time? or just at times like sunrise or sunset?

Bella, depression is like any other imbalance, ya cant yell it away. It has its own reason and I look at it like a nother life. Theres a depressed guy in me thats occupying my happy guy space and that pisses me off even more.
