Psych Ward Redux

Last week, my anxiety kept building and building, and after having a very hard time sleeping and feeling miserable, on Thursday I had to go back to the Psych Ward. I was really depressed about having to go back. The home invasion and my regular routine feeling messed up, my meds not seeming to work and feeling overwhelmed at work just got to me and became intolerable. I'd have one good day, and then I'd crash for like a week. I'd always feel worse after waking up. I told that to the doctor, and while I don't have every symptom, she kind of diagnosed me with bipolar depression. She said the Prozac I'm taking is probably making my symptoms worse, so I'm going to wean off that and she started me on Abilify (a mood stabilizer). It's so weird how Prozac worked so well for so long, and then just stopped (and where did the bipolar come from??). Hopefully she's right and these crazy mood swings will even out after I stop taking it. I learned some great things at the groups you attend, met some cool people, and watched a bunch of movies haha. I got out today, woohoo! I really hope I can stay stable after this, I don't want to go back there every time something bad happens lol
