Does anyone know about TMS? Mood
Wednesday, August 26, 2009
Trying to find the right meds again. My medication is not doing it . Switched to a defferent one to see if it might help. Been readying about TMS an noninvasive prosedure that has no side effects like meds do. If anyones heard about it let me know.

    I am not familiar with anyone and/or of TMS. I got some info. online about TMS, which did show it's effects and it's risks (of course) determining on the patient and it's repetitive use.

    Discuss with your doctor on recent findings on it's FDA approved, and whether it would be safe for you. Good luck girl!

How do I deal? Mood
Friday, July 24, 2009 | A Call For Help story

Just thinking lately of what it would have been like or would be like if I had known about my depression at an earlier age and gotten treatment for it. Who would I have become or be? without the frequent feeling of errational moods and fears acompanying my thoughts.How will I feel and handle new understandings and feelings when they feel so different to me? HOw  do I become someone new  when deppression is all I've ever known? Do's anyone else ever think of this?

    Hey, girl ... I know, back then, even migraine headaches was unknown, let unknown depression. I did alot of thinking back, and we were so reared on how we supposed to be - that 'how was it easy for us to question?' Either, I was shy; uninvolved; nightmares; etc. Signs were there, but back then it was brushed off as something else. ..... and remember, as we got in our teens+ .... more of the mental patients were at Waimanu Home or Kaneohe and having 'mental or emotional', problems - it was as if, they were segregated, TABOO!

    Perhaps, if ' Depression ' was more open and free to talk about as now, we would have had a healthier start. Fact remains, we didn't - some past we wish didn't happen, others were a blessing.

    My friend, Depression will always be part of us. As we transition and develope, so can our depression. To truly understand & acknowledge who we are and our disabilities, we learn how they bond & behave with one another. Only you will know your limits and boundaries, to keep the safe levels of your depression as you take more steps to your wants.

    Yes I want to do the possibilities, but I will listen to the needs of my well being in order to take control. There will always be those negatives in our depression, counteract thinking or surrounding with positives. Whatever works for you.

    By all means, Do not let 'Depression' lock you in, It is a disability, yes, as is any disability, but that can be controlled. We are in are 50's, my friend, we gotta' kick' it back in da' butt' - haha, as long as can still kick. Malama Pono

Just Dealing Mood
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
Haven't posted for a while. been too busy with family and such. Hope all are fine and love to all . Still waiting for the sun to come out so I can go outside and play. These gloomy clouds don't help sad feeling. Nothing really exciting to talk about unless you think that the new opening at Sonic Drive-in is cool. Boy, thought I didn't have a life. People waiting in long lines for a hamburger is pretty sad. Did they plant a golden ticket in one? I guess Elvis waving to everyone on the sidewalk was pretty cool, if your in to that . Anyway, I'm back from the land of the certifiable ones and ready to talk to whom ever is needing a special spoken word. Love to all again. May the peace be with you.

    Lets hear it for the magnificent sun finally showing up! No mo rain clouds. Spring flowers are here along with the native birds and their twiterpation routine. Keeping my chin up and taking one day at a time. Trying new meds and its not easy. fading from dark to darker and then back to the light is not fun. Must keep my eye on the light. Don't care if it blinds me as long as its the good ray coming my way. Hope your doing well ova dea. How are things? well, I hope. You've always been a sunny spot on a gloomy day.
