    A Bad Weekend

    Hya,

    Didn't drink on the weekend but there were times I could have killed for one - and have not felt like that in a long time. I got so uptight yesterday I had to hide out in the bedroom for fear of losing it altogether and taking all my anger out on my lttle girl. So, took it out on my husband instead (poor bugger). Today I am in tears every half an hour, and would so like to have a drink, but wont - too hard to drag myself to the bottle shop.

    I wish all this bipolar rubbish would go away - just when you think you have the thing covered it comes up and bites you back. I have not felt like a drink since been on my meds, time for a top up perhaps.

    Just rambling on here, guess i'm looking for some TLC and understanding about that need to drink/medicate/whatever it is that has struck over the last 2 days. Here I am getting teary again - time for a tissue.

    Cashy

    A Bad Weekend

    Hey Cashy.... hang in there, love. It's rotten full-stop how some days just suck. And bi-polar as well... This WILL pass. And you'll feel so darned proud of yourself for getting through. So, minute by minute and just stay away from the bottle shop.

    I think loads of us have had The Beast leap out at us and want us to drink out of the blue many times. The longer you go the more he stays away and pesters some other poor b**ger. Get a cushion and thump 'him' to death? Get rid of all that #@*&%$.....(and him!)

    TLC by the ton coming down the latitudes. I hope you get it!

    Love and hugs

      Cashy,

      I am so sorry the meds are doing a bounce on you. You were feeling so great about 3 months ago!!

      I have friends with very serious bipolar issues and it did take them a long time to get things evened out but they have.

      Try to remember, it is a disesase much like diabetes. It takes care and vigilance.

      :l and TLC coming to you from me, too!!

                Cashy, it's been a pretty weird weekend, weather-wise here in Adelaide. Storms, heavy skies and forceful winds.

                If it's the weather, then, I'm there with you with heightened emotions! Curiously enough, a couple of people I have spoken with today feel the same....

                You never know! It could be just the weather!!!

                I hope so, and I hope that you feel better soon.

                :l

                  Hi cashy,
                  I know very little about bi-polar. You obviously have your hands full trying to cope with the body chemicals. Just hold on to something, a diversion perhaps. Go have a full body massage, go swimming, go have a facial. I know this sounds very superficial, but it so soothes the body, that it cannot help but have an impact on your mind.

                  Bestow all the TLC you can master on yourself. I am sending you lots of TLC.

                      Cashy.....:l 's to you......
                      It so hurts but you're are a strong woman....
                      Call your doc and check in on your meds if you need to. It is an ongoing battle.

                            Cashy - loads of big hugs :l to you. In the midst of all of this you were so kind and wrote me back about my own BP problems. Thank you so much.

                            I had a really bad weekend too. I completely lost it Saturday night in front of my husband and his life-long friend that came into town. Just flipped right out. They were stoned and drunk and smoking in the house, and blammo............. here comes the crazy lady!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so embarrassed. I wish I handled it better. Good grief. Sometimes I feel like I am a bloody psycho. :H Yesterday, I shut right down, and hid out most of the day. I didn't want to take anything out on my daughter either. It really does suck so bloody bad.

                            I hope you get things sorted out if it is your meds. Or maybe it was an episode? We are still going to get them, just not as often or as bad. I understand what you are going through - the guilt and shame afterwards. Forgive yourself, as you know it isn't you, but it is the disorder.

                              Oh, AFM and Cashy

                              :l :l from me to you.

                              Not an easy disease.

                              I am proud of both of you for tackling not only the disease but the ancillary issues, such as drinking, family relationships, the hard work stuff!!

                              Both of you are awesome.

                              Love,
