      i want to fall in love just on more time-this is the last third of my life-if anybody out there knows someone as feisty as the great Marjorie Main-let me know i do not like this "sharing with facebook and other sites-i do not wish for my journal or photos to be seen by anyone who is not in my Daily strength support groups-recently every photo says "drag to share" it sure is-particularly with sites one did not sign up for

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      going into manic phase-damn doctor put me back on Abilify-5 days-no more writing-everything is flat-oh hooray-this is what they call "normal"-i call it death

      Treatments

      Abilify Working / Worked
      had it 2 years ago-clean for 2 years and started to write and paint every day-but "voices" too-back on Abilify-feel dull-uncreative-this means it's "working" HAH-would rather have the voices back and be creating again
      Ativan Considering
      think i had it briefly-can't remember-something went wrong-was taken off it right away
      Celexa Not Working
      tried as an anti depressant-like all anti depressaants it wore off
      Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Considering
      no idea what this is-do you mean weekly therapy?
      Haldol Not Working
      oh lord-the worst-had it in the hospital-awful tardis diskinisis
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      the bestdoctor is cognitive therapist i actually have some say in my own treatment now
      Risperdal Not Working
      doctor tried 2 years ago-pure hell-hyperthermia-tachacardia-thought i was dying
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      was given as anti depressant-nothing-might as well have been sugar pill
