Hey Tamara,

So I basically went through the exact same thing you did between 19 and 20. You are happy one second and crying the next angry the next and nearly manic the following. I found it just had to do with feeling overwhelmed by life. Like you I was in college, working, had a boyfriend and dealing with all the CF bull crap that we deal with. It felt like I had to micromanage everything. Not to sound to much like Dr. Phil but it is a strange adjustment period that can be hard to deal with for normal people, let alone dealing with CF also.

My recommendation would be to talk to someone before going straight to medication. Often it does help just to vent everything and to get a different opinion from some looking in from the outside instead of vis visa. I ended up finding an amazing psychiatirst who was able to help me sort things out without resorting to medication. You can usuallly find one through your medical insurance, or if medical insurance is a pain to deal with (which it can be) you can get a therapist through your college. Part of the tuition you pay for college goes to health fees and psychiatric counsiling falls under that category, so it will be free through the school. And if you do need medication (which peope definitely do, I don't want to deter you from doing what you think you need, only you know whats best for you) they can help you find the right one for what you are dealing with.

Also, I don't want to sound like a nag, but DO NOT not do your treatment stuff even if you do feel pretty healthy. I did that exact thing when I was around your age and I totally screwed myself. I'm much much sicker now because of it. Getting even just a little bit sicker only makes things harder, but I know you already know that.

Keep your chin up, you'll get through it. And I can't stress enough... YOUR NOT CRAZY!!!! Believe me, I don't ever want you to think that way. We all go through it, believe me. Message me if you wanna talk more!! xoxo

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I am glad to see you reached out to us as I havent seen much of you <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

So many things can affect us! CF, CFRD, infections, unstable sugars, relationship issues, lack of sleep, meds, LIFE <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I think for someone who has a chronic illness to say they have NEVER experienced such a problem is odd & more unhealthy then actually experiencing it.

Different people try different things because they want to avoid being put on meds. Massage, change of diet, EXERCISE, talking etc.

Sometimes tho it isnt enough & that person still needs meds for awhile.

Until its decided about putting you on meds & then finding the right one for you since not all meds are right for everyone.....please try some of the other options I mentioned.

It sucks to be in that state & know you shouldnt be, but just cant get out of it!

HUGS
