I think I'm getting better.

By karmas Friday, September 07, 2007

I have less crying spells over nothing. I feel less anxious all in all. My pdoc is very responsive, even had me come in on a day he was catching up on his paperwork and wasn't seeing patients. I was having a very bad day and a friend had to drive me. I wrote down the questions I had so I didn't have to speak and cry again. He looked over my questions and went right to the last one - "Would I ever get better?" He said "Regarding this last question, you will get better. I'll be with you all the way". After listening to me cry and talk for about half an hour, he said anxiety seemed a bigger problem for me than he originally thought. Buspar. It seems to be working. I feel like I'm getting better. I still sink whenever I screw up my checking account again, knowing there is more money than there is. I won't check online because that would kill the fun of knowing I have some money in the bank.

 

All in all, I still think I'm getting better. That's all that matters to me right now. I'm getting better!! Yippee!!!

Dear karmas,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience of recovery with the BipolarConnection community.  I know it is encouraging for other community members living with the disorder to hear stories of successful treatment and recovery.  We hope you will continue to get better and share your experience with us.

 

Best of luck!

Glad to hear you are getting some relief.  I, too, have been taking clonazepam for anxiety & it really helps me sleep, so that alone helps my moods tremendously.  Clonazepam was used as a 'transition' drug when I was weaning off Zoloft.  I am attempting to use it in this way again, to help me get off the Zyprexa, since I had managed to get off the Zyprexa for 2-3 months last winter & had felt so much naturally better.  But I know we're supposed to be careful with benzodiazepines since they can be addictive & would love to hear other people's experiences, as well.
