**Oh you are soooo not alone. I have all those feelings too.
I just had a wonderful 5 weeks of great energy - enough to get myself a 400K home (I am a grad student and wait tables). How it all happened is a puzzle to me. I'm really burning out now though. It's a gooooood thing to own a home and for that brief hypomanic period I'm thankful b/c it got me the energy to buy a home (and all the work involved). BUT talk about projects left unfinished!! i'm starting to lose energy and become depressed and I have to move my things, tear down wallpaper, paint, decorate, shop for washer/dryer and furniture AND find housemates (to make my mortgage). it's feeling overwhelming!! to say the least.
I just started back on meds to help me through this. Trileptal and I see my pdoc on Wed. next week and will hopefully start on Paxil or WB in addition.

BPII
Trileptal 150mg
Fish oil 12g
Seroquel 20mg> Can a day ever go by without them. You set foot outside your door and it hits you like a ton of bricks. I take parnate and lithum and feel down by 3pm. I have been struggling for so long and have tried so many meds that sometimes I just want to throw them all away. The deprssion is tiring and life can become overwheling. When does it end! With every new day I say this is the day that it will be different and by the end of the day it starts again. I would love to hear how people deal with their bipolar. My thoughts are oh so scattered. The projects that you create never get done, you forget to take you meds, and your memory is like that of some twice your age. I hope someone can relate and help me feel not so alone in the everlasting Bipolar struggle.
