Question: Your thoughts and advice!.!?
Hi All,
My Mom has just had a second major brain surgery 1 yr and 1/2 apart!. She's doing well now but I have been very stressed with worrying over her!. I suffer with Bipolar as well and I can't seem to shake off my moodiness and depression!. Although I am VERY relieved and happy she's doing VERY well!. I still can't help but get "weird" thoughts!. I don't really want to see my doctor again!. He'll just give me more pills etc!.!.!. I just want to be happy and I also feel extremely ugly and I'm not!. I just feel like my self-esteem has gone and I'll suffer with being very high where I think I can do anything and then I get low where I feel depressed but don't think about suicide!. I just want to feel better!. I am currently on Prozac 20mg daily and Amitriptilyne (can't spell it ) 10mg for nighttime to relieve anxiety!. Oh, that's another thing my anxiety has hit the roof!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am so sorry your mom had that illness!. I can really relate to you because my mom had a heart attack 5 years ago, and I was very scared we might lose her!.
She is my best friend and confidante!.
If you are bipolar, you MUST take your meds!. I know it's tempting not to, but you must do that for you and your mom!. She would be unhappy if your bipolar got worse!.
Try this mood emergency kit!. It really helps me!.

And go for long walks in nature and look for very small things in nature!. You will be amazed at what you find!
I wish you the best!
