Depression Support: Living with Bipolar & ADHD

In one interview, with 2Pac, the interviewer stated, “Well, at least being in jail gives you plenty of time to write great songs.” 2Pac...

I apologize for my hiatus. As I am sure many of you have experienced or are experiencing, depression, bipolar depression, anxiety, mood...

I finally found a drug that gets me to sleep at night. The problem is that it gets me sleeping too well. As in, 14 hours a night.

I told my psychiatrist that if I did not get some sleep in the next day or two that I would end up overdosing & back in the hospital again

From crying in despair to okay then crying in hopelessness then back to okay. It felt as though I was on the worst roller coaster ride ever.

I have found that, even when I am amongst my closest friends, I can feel almost as though I am a foreigner.

I didn’t know better. I had no idea the beasts (bipolar, ADHD, depression) that I would be faced with slaying for the rest of my life.

I was reflecting back since the time I started my Ketamine treatments. I realized since starting Ketamine I have not had one.

Bipolar & Treatment Resistant Depression are a bitch. They can feel like the Wild West of Mood Shifts. Everyday, underscored by instability.

A few weeks ago I attempted to take my life. Well, I intentionally took too many pills in a desperate need to end the pain & get some sleep.

It has officially been over 2 weeks since my last treatment. I can say without a doubt, this past week especially, has been hell.

Ketamine Round 4 and bipolar depression had quite the stand off. For the first time, I feel as though I got some longevity out of my dose.

Remember the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? Well, with round 3 bipolar depression treatment we once again up’d the ketamine dose.

I couldn't help but wonder, "Was it a bad sign that the ketamine wore off so quickly after round 1?" My anxiety quickly popped up.

At this point in my life I feel as though I could be a pharmacist. I just never knew that Special K, Ketamine would be a part of my arsenal.

Receiving a diagnosis such as bipolar or depression or ADHD or any diagnosis can sometimes feel like a hit to the self-esteem.

Exercise. How many times have I heard from those not in the know, exercise is supposed to be just as good as an anti-depressant?

I have gone through periods of my life where the mere thought of stepping out of my apartment generated paralyzing anxiety.

While it can be hard to recognize cues once you are in a bipolar mood cycle, it can still be worth keeping an eye out for them.
