About Me
I am the father of three special needs children that has recently been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. In September last year I attempted suicide by pouring petrol over myself and setting myself alight, thankfully or otherwise I survived that ordeal only to land in hospital in January with my newly acquired condition. I am now a member of this site because of my illness, and not just for the needs of my children.

Shout Out
It's not a bad quote nor an unhappy quote man...it's a quote of strength. Someone who has walked through hell and survived to talk about it, and knows they can survive, is a person to be reckoned with. Dangerous to who? To anyone who tries to slip in and get close with intentions less than worthy....not a person you want to mess with...not a person you would want to try to walk all over...because you can give them all ya got and they're gonna stand right back up. And they might even make YOU look within yourself to see what's there, not always good, nor bad...sometimes indifferent.
Me? I'm proud to be not just a survivor but a thriver...in this world it is true that the strongest tend to thrive the best.-
Ray of Sunshine
Shall do - well, at least shall try. Wish we'd get some warmth - not exactly Adelaide style - have no heard from any friends living there: too hot to do anything I think. f Hope you get to see your kids soon. Fond regards, JaneD.

Hug
You did sound like my elder d. in full flight - but better now. I'm surviving, but younger d. is getting more & more wierd. Best check your thought processes out with person familiar with such "Flights of Fantasy" (I cannot think of a better description). I could not find the "Sensitive Blokey" thingo diagnosis in my battered copy of DS III, but it's out of date. As your precious shrink for a definate disgnosis (as per DSM - ed. 4 I think) - then we'll all know exactly where we are. I'm a SADS sufferer - sounds a joke, but it's not - Seasonal Affective Disorder - brtought on by lack of sunshine (my being a night person does not help either) You take care now, Janed.
Kiss
HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY THAT I LOVE YOU.

28 days? Wow! You must have been very manic, eh? I'm just talking about 3 hrs. her night for 2 nights!!! Nothing big deal. Nevertheless, thanks for your concern JaneD.

To both learn, and hopefully fill in some blank spaces for others who may require such.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI attempted to end my life on 9/28/2008 and successfully failed. I was deeply depressed, could not control my thought processes, I was crazy
Treatments
- Effexor Working / Worked
- No apparent effect
- Electroconvulsive therapy Working / Worked
- Had such treatment 7 times and am certain that it was THE thing that worked, that got me back on track.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I enjoy my counseling, I have a very good practioner who listens to me, and offers immediate feedback, no complaints whatsoever.
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- Caused poor sleeping. It knocked me out but never felt like had slept, I would always wake up tired, it did not work for me.
- Zyprexa Working / Worked
- Caused weight gain and motivational problems. I am currently on 10mgday but would prefer not to be on it I am assured by my GP though that this is a very low dosage.
