    • About Me

      I'm a determined damaged person who's trying to get a grip right now. I impulsively moved to Seattle recently and am having a bit of a break down. I really care about others and want to earn my degree in Psychology or Social Work. I feel most comfortable when working with people with any type of disability and I don't like to see others go through what I go through. In my free time I like to watch movies, wander around outside, listen to music, read and hang out with my friends.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I've, yet again, been diagnosed with this. I still think I have BPD.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      It worked but addiction to a substance is not something I would really enjoy.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      I started this about a week ago and I can feel it suppressing the chemical changes in my brain. I do, so far, get head aches, dizzy spells, constipation and stomach aches. None of which are too horrible.
      Music Working / Worked
      I really would die without it.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      I don't take it anymore. All it really did when I was taking it was make me want to sleep all day long.
      Trileptal Not Working
      I don't remember what it did anymore. I stopped taking it. No health care and meds are too expensive.
    • Close Marijuana Addiction & Recovery

      I used it to self medicate. I could work without worrying about how other people perceived me or how I perceived myself. I thought I could use without becoming dependent but that proved wrong.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Too Soon to Tell
      I have vowed to never smoke again again. I think perhaps I should join NA if this is going to work.
    • Open Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      I was diagnosed with bipolar but through the research I've done and knowing myself I really think I have this rather then bipolar. I cycle too often, I either cling to people who get me or, if they betray me, I hate them. I disassociate myself from any situation I feel uncomfortable in. If I'm in anyway stressed out I can't remember anything. I can't recall huge chunks of my childhood and I only have one memory of my dad emotionally abusing me but I know he did it more then the once.

      Treatments

      Poetry Working / Worked
      When I get really out of myself I write until I can get back to who I am.
      Music Working / Worked
      Again, I would die without it.
    • Open Codependency

      I recently realized that I have this problem. I cling to others with similar problems as I have and want to stop the unhealthy relationship patterns I've developed.
