      From Shoyo36 August 10, 2008

      Hey Jen! Thanks for the hug back. I'm glad my hug took you by surprise and brightened your day a little :) Like you, i took have had all these labels on me. Depression...now bipolar. And so many more. Of course I take everything out on myself in harmful ways. I don't even know who me is anymore I'm so caught up in my destructive behavior. I just wish we could both have a moment of peace and find our true selves beyond our labels xoxoxo glad to have you as a friend!

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      This is one of the issues I have, but everyone has them, and now I am learning how to grow as a person and use this quirk to my advantage.

      Treatments

      Ativan Not Working
      Didn't do a thing for me.
      Celexa Working / Worked
      It takes longer than lexapro, but works better at keeping me stable and falling into deep dark nightmares.
      Holistic Health Working / Worked
      Chamomile Working / Worked
      Either in a strong tea or smoked in a handrolled rice paper. Soothing as a pacifier.

    • Open Seasonal Affective Disorder

      I wish I could sleep the winter away like a Grizzly bear...

    • Open Panic Attacks

      I was glad to learn I am not the only one who feels "heart attacks". I can get them up to a 3/4 times a day, sometimes lasting hours. I am learning to take preventative care.

      Treatments

      Ativan Not Working
      Worked a little bit, but the panic attacks would come out of nowhere and be even more intense.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      What a life-saver! I take 2mgs a day broken-up throughout the day as needed.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Patience Not Working
      When your body is out of sync, waiting only makes it worse.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Xanax Somewhat Helpful
      But I need a BIG dose for it to be any help, where I forego it altogether now.

    • Open Muscular Dystrophies

      Lets you float away from it all...
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Reassured me I wasn't an evil child.
