Hey everyone,
This is my first post here and I'm really happy I found this place
I'm 21 and have a 2 year old son and a fiancé in full-time uni and who works from home at night. I'm having a lot of trouble with my bi-polar at the moment and it's kinda like everything is falling on top of me. I'm currently not on any medication which I know isn't good.
The last time I went to my GP to get help it took me 2 weeks to get an appointment and I ended up seeing a doctor I'd never met before which made me slightly uncomfortable. I explained that I had been diagnosed with Bi-polar with a was 13 ect and she ended up giving me fluoxetine. I don't know if this makes any sense to anyone but whilst on it I felt I was more manic than usual WAY more manic. My fiancé noticed and was very worried about it.
I came off it about 4 months ago but I'm finding my lows to be very hard and not good for my family and home. I'm finding it hard to get off the sofa/out of bed and have zero energy during the day and very restless at night. I've caused my fiancé too loose out on a lot of uni and work because he needs to look after my son.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on medication? I've heard of mood stabilizers ect but don't know anything about them and my GP refused to give me anything to help me sleep because I have a toddler. I'm finding myself drinking more than I should to help me sleep which I know isn't helping.
Sorry i've wrote so much but I'm really not sure what to do.
Hope you can help
