      I'm a drifter of sorts. I try to settle in one place for a while... But I just can't seem to stick anywhere recently... Oi oi, try try again.

    • Close Self-Injury

      I'm a cutter and have been since I was thirteen. It's been for different reasons and done different ways... I didn't cut for a year when I was younger and more recently, I didn't for 13 1/2 months until the other night...

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Women's group of 4, with 2 supervisor people. It just made me feel like I was being social when really, I wasn't... Not genuienly.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Did that for years but still cut anyway. Didn't for years and still cut. Doing it now and, well, maybe it would if I let it???
      Talking Not Working
      I talk to everyone and tell everyone everything. I'm amazed I don't get busted for all the gossip I talk, even if it's been less lately. But I keep no secrets and I don't think that's healthy...

    • Open Abstinence & Celibacy

      I'm tired of sex... It's been more of a distraction and disruption in life than anything else. I've had amazing partners, great times, but I need a break, for a long, long time.

      Treatments

      Humex Too Soon to Tell
      I was on lithium at one point. Killed my sex drive completely. Only time I ever abstained... Maybe they have a pill just for that? hm...
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      I don't believe it. But I don't know where else to start...

      Treatments

      Depakote Somewhat Helpful
      I ODied on it. They had me continue. I stopped 'cause I couldn't tolerate the sick, sweet vomit like scent and taste of the coating. Didn't notice a damn difference on it, honestly...
      Lithium Working / Worked
      This saved my life. I hated the numbness. The first year completely sucked. After I adjusted... it was great... But I missed my creativity, missed a lot of me... Went off of it from lack of insurance/see if I was okay w/o it. Wouldn't go back on it if ya paid me to.
      Risperdal Somewhat Helpful
      They gave this to me for hallucinations, as far as I can remember. I saw rats and men one night in the hospital, so they gave this to me and I just never went off it.
      Paxil Not Working
      That was paired with Depakote at first. Didnt make anything better made it far far worse I believe but Im not completely sure. ODied on it the same week it came out in the news that it was very bad for under eighteen users I was fifteen.
      Zyprexa Working / Worked
      i slept every single moment that i wasn't literally forced to stay awake to eat.
    • Open Bipolar Disorder - Teen

      I wasn't a teen too long ago. It was the hardest time in life as of yet. I hope to help...

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      My dog told me to go tell my dad I ODied. I was hopped up on a cocktail of pills, but that allowed me to go just crazy enough to believe my dog really was communicating with me... And telling me it wasn't time to go!
      Talking Working / Worked
      I had a therapist. At the time, I never thought much of it. It was nice, it was fun, it was ... therapy. But years later I realize it did a lot more good than I could tell day to day. Nice thing about growing old is the ability to reflect from a different, higher area. I guess that's how wisdom is created.
    • Open Sex / Pornography Addiction

      I dunno if I'm an addict, perse, but I sure need to cool my jets.

    • Open Healthy Sex

      I've been active for about six years and didn't really take the right precautions. Now's the time to get smart about things ^_^
