Hi Stacy
I read your letter and I just want to tell you that you are not alone.. I to, am bipolar with panic and anxiety disorders. And i also suffer with schizophrenia. I also have a rapid recycle. Which means I have a bigger turn over of manic episodes and sever depression episodes. Each one lasting for days.. If im lucky enough to make it out of my house and go to the store, my Dr. has me take a extra pill that helps me relax some. Granted, it doesn’t take away all the pressure of panic and anxiety but it helps..It keeps me from running out of the store, hiding in the dressing room, or in the clothes rack.. really…some of the things that I did…Then I began to just stay home and shop online. Once they even called the rescue squad for me because they thought I was having a heart attack in the clothes rack !! Ask your Dr about a med to take before you have a situation where you might have a attack. always take your MEDS… ( I take 21 pills per day) Im 61yrs. have been bipolar for over 21 yrs. and am always learning more and more about it…ans stacy..i have no support, i have family…but still no support
