Here's one of my favourite quotes though :

Shout Out
I am shouting out LEAVE DS and don't come back
Hug
have a little heart for it seems clear to me that you feel envy and are in need of some serious love thats why there are three posts of you displying an obivous frustration for affection and why am I to blame when it was you who passed judgement on my comment initally. Name calling is symptomatic of the way in which you express anger those meds must really be killing your soul.True love brother thats all I have for you. Take some deep breaths I will be here for you not as an enemy you understand
Hug

Close Depression
: Clinical (Major) DepressionIt's too long. Essentially 3 major negative life events starting at age 10 (1961). That was suppressed but hit me after a marriage breakup in 1986. In 1999 work collapsed and my career was over at age 48. Family and friends all disappeared, workmates helped me, and strangers until I met my current partner. She's been with me ever since 1992. Been there, done that except ECT which I will never do. Can help others with advice but not myself. What a surprise! Love funny things, humour is my sould really but it hides deep.
Close Bipolar Disorder
D since I was 10, 1961 although only hit me at age 35 Hospitalised twice, treated and then drank for about 15 years. 1999 brought a major breakdown,my diagnosis has been changing. It is now BP2. I have had 2 episodes of hypomania,one of rapid cycling - terrifying. I've only had mild experiences but so powerful for me. It felt like I suddenlt had access to 100% of my brain as opposed to about 10% usually.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Not Working
- CBT rubbish, waste of my time and theirs although the session was enjoyable socially.
- Lamictal Not Working
- Nothing, nil, zip, zero.
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Yeah, it kills the happiness doesn't it! Feel like I've died when that happens but that's temporary.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- This is my most reliable drug. Third time around for me. Always with lithium. Keeps me stable unafraid not anxious but in the low mood zome constantly. Its Catch 22 isnt it?
