I am currently diagnosed with bipolar disorder II, ( I say currently because I've previously been diagnosed with clinical depression before my Dr. changed my dx.)
For four years, I've been in therapy, on meds, and have been hospitalized 3 times for psychiatric issues. None of this is working, I'm only getting worse. I'm 28, I live in beautiful SW Florida, 10 minutes from some of the most beautiful beaches in the nation, I have a great job (that I enjoy when my depression allows me to leave my bed), I have great friends, but none of it is enough, somedays, I just want to die. I can't leave my house unless i have to, and the other day, while grocery shopping, a panic attack caused me to leave my entire grocery cart, full of groceries, in the middle of the grocery store because I just HAD to get out of there - I was suffocating.
I currently take 400 mgs of Lamictal
50 mgs of Pristiq
4 mgs of Xanax XR
.5 mgs of xanax IRMy current diagnoses are Bipolar II, G.A.D., builmia nervosa, ocd, & I'm a cutter ( I don't know what the diagnosis for that is..)
Despite my compliance with my current medication regiment, my condition is getting worse, and I'm not sure what to do.
Has this happened to any of you? IF so, what did you do? Did it help?
