need some support
 

Hi

I used to come her alot a long time ago.. it has been years really since i needed to be here.. but today i find myself here wanting and needing support someone to talk too to get advice. So I really hope that someone will answer this.

Ok so.. i now work as a nurse.. love my job best thing i ever did but lately i have started having mood swings, it started just being a little high for a week.. not manic but high for me saying silly things doing crazy stuff, then id be low for a few days and just want to sleep all the time, have no energy and generally feel lowsy. but in the past few weeks this has become really regular, daily i can swing between high and low, i am completely exhausted from swinging and never knowing what mood i am going to be in next. The highs have got higher to the point where i cant control myself when i do something out of character and the lows have caused me to start self harming, not much but enough to make me concerned.

Everyone at work can see that things arnt right and i dont understand the cause, I have moved into my own home recently but things had started before that. I dont want to get worse and i am going to see my gp tomorrow to get some advice.

I just feel that i could do with some support right now, just a sounding board.. i dont want to get any worse, i dont want to continue swinging and not being able to control it coz im exhausted and dont know which way to turn anymore.

We're all here to help hun. We all need support sometimes and your in the right place to get it.

Is there anyone close to you that you could talk to about whats happening when youre not on here? I always found talking to my best friend helped me.

I know a lot of people find it scary going to the Doctors but sometimes they can really help and I think your being really brave making the decsion to go, I'm on anti anxiety meds and since I've been on them my lifes been so much better. Maybe the doctors could offer you something to help you feel more balanced?

If there is anything I can help with let me know, my inbox is always open.
