I am BPD PTSD Bi Polar need help now!!!!?

I am BPD PTSD Bi Polar need help now!!!!?I have suffered from all this crap since I was 13 and never bought into all the diagnosis. I am finally relenting and admitting I can't control these mood swings, depression, ect... I am in a slump again, in the past my faith in God helped, now nothing is working. Yes I take my meds, effexor and still can't shake the blues, Ive done all the mental health stuff you're suppose to do, think positive, journal, get out of the house, excercie, still no help. Im not suicidal, but have lost all motivation. The Dr. is really of little help, and my counselor just listens offers no advice. I never hit the mania stage with the bi polar, I question still wether Ihave it. My mania symptoms are just insomnia. I am tired ofthis fight. I need real help. The onset of this was due to a hernia surgery when I went into septic shock and woke up in ICU and almost died. I had to pull out of nursing school I was halfway through. I had 2 years symptom free till then. What do I do Now?

My depressed phase of bipolar needs to be treated with 2 antidepressants; Lexapro and Wellbutrin. He has used Lexapro with Effexor to "bump" me out of the depression. I also take Seroquel to prevent the mania associated with the extra antidepressant.
Go back to your psychiatrist and ask if this might work for you.

Get a clear picture of what is going on with you.

It sounds like lots have labeled you but no one is helping. Effexor is not the only drug. And therapists that just listen and don't do more are useless.

You have had a legitimate medical situation that haunts you. There is appropriate treatment for PTSD. And even if you do have another disorder, the fact that it is controlling you right now means that it is not being managed appropriately.

Check the internet in your area for someone that specializes in PTSD. It can make depression and other symptoms much worse than they have to be. Insomnia is a defining characteristic of depression, not necessarily bipolar.

You don't say how old you are, but you do display symptoms that are not being treated. Get to know yourself. Use all of your ability to know yourself to your advantage. Read up on the role of exercise and diet as well as sleep on your mental health. Manage yourself and invite a new professional to help with managing that which you do not know.

No one will know you better than you. You are describing a situation where you are relying on bad information or certainly inadequate information.

Just remember psychiatry is a science not a known. You are a complex person and you need to work together with someone to achieve the wellness you describe.

Good luck and don't give up.

Answer by the secret is in the pudding
Life's too short, change professionals!

Get help elsewhere, different hospital, different psych... We all get bored in life and at some point tend to do things while on cruise control.... why can't professionals do the same mistake?
