Rose...........you have 3 children, you can NEVER consider suicide! If you can't live for yourself, think how you would affect them for the rest of their lives! PLEASE< PLEASE< PLEASE....promise me you will seek immediate help if you feel that way.Have you ever seen kids who have lost a parent at a young age? OK, enough guilt tripping by me. Has your DOC said you were bipolar or just unipolar? Zyprexa is an antipsychotic med to help with the manic part of bipolar disorder. Are you seeing a PYSCH or just a GP? I watched my mom die of cancer over 5 years. The last thing she would have ever wanted was for me to "check out" myself.
Keep talking to me. I will answer any question you have about meds, or life in general. There is ALWAYS, ALWAYS hope!

> Hi, Rose, I have been following your posts. I just started a new med and got so dizzy I had to lay down. Now I am clearer and can think.
My first suicide thoughts were at the same age you are. Fortunately I found a good pdoc, psychiatrist, who helped me a lot with talk therapy and meds to first help me sleep. five years later, I was doing ok with the choice of meds and my inlaws died with in ten days of each other...It was the first time I felt real greif and sorrow. I think from my experience what I am trying to say is there is a difference between being suicidal and suffering from the loss of a loved one. Get help, go the the ER talk to another doctor. Get another opinion about what is going on. It took my current pdoc over an hour and a half talking to me to make his observations. Another spent two hours. YOU DESERVE IT. Go for it girl. Thinking of you....
