I know I haven't post in a while but just wanted to say hello and catch up. I really had a bad few months. I been having really bad anxiety. I been back and forth to the Dr. and finally he said that I need to go to a psychologist. So I finally went right before Christmas found out that I have manic depression and also panic disorder. I was on paxil for 5 years since my father's death but it just wasn't working anymore. It was just a horrible feeling. I even quit my job at the Y but might go back in a few months when I am feeling 100% like myself. I am on the right medicence now because it is working. I am just going to take it easy and do a lot more of Cathe videos now that I am not working. I am also seeing a therapist too so hopefully with the 2 I will be back on track. It will be 5 years since my father's death next week. I think that this really had took a toll on me since his death so hopefully the therapist will help me through this. Well lets just say I am surviving and it is just a bad storm passing over me:). Thanks for listening.
 
Some one very near and dear to me also deals with bipolar, and his meds are working super well. Luckily he does not cycle that often, and hopefully his meds will lesson the intensity the next time it happens, because as you very well know - it's not if, it's when.

Good luck to you!

Barbara, I'm so glad you have been diagnosed and given the right meds. Thanks you for the update and good luck with the therapist. Enjoy your time off and Cathe.
 
Barbara,

I am glad that you have received the correct diagnosis. I pray that you will be back at 100% real soon!!!My prayers are also with you as you pass the 5 year mark next week of your Dad's "Homecoming".
Good Luck to you!!!;-)
 
So glad to have you back. I was wondering where you were.

I'm also glad you are recovering from your problems. It is not easy, and sounds like you are doing great. My daughter is suffering from bi-polar as well. But she is dealing with it.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Hi Barbara,

I'm glad to hear you're recovering. My boss is bipolar & I've been through every phase possible with him over the years. Glad to say medications & therapies have way improved over the last several of those years.

Take care, & do LOTS of workouts to help you cope!:p

Hi Barbara. I don't remember ever reading about your situation, but I'm glad you're getting the help you need. I was diagnosed with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) along with PMDD last year. I was put on Celexa for a couple of months and was told to exercise and eat well. I'm off meds now and while I'm always going to get symptoms every now and then I think I'm so much better now. Exercising regularly and not eating junk helps me battle both disorders. I think it's a wise decision going to more than one specialist. You can get two different points of view that way. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me I've been there. Take care.
 
Thanks for posting, Barbara and letting us know how things are going with you...:)...I am glad you got the right diagnosis and have the right meds to help now. Definitely take it easy and enjoy some fun Cathe workouts. I have missed your post and my thoughts are with you....sending {{{{HUGS}}}}
 
Barbara, I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time. Listen, if you want to have lunch sometime & vent or rant & rave or chat about fitness I'd be happy to meet up w/you.......my work schedule's pretty flexible so I could meet you on weekdays or on the weekend.

Or just come back here to vent. We're here for you.
 
Hey Barbara, just wanted to say we are here for you and that I am glad you are on the road to recovery! I think all of us here are survivors of one thing or another. Good luck with the workouts!
