About Me
Hi, My name is Carol. In the last few months I got out of a 3 year emotionally/verbally abusive relationship. I got out with my 4 dogs. I am bi-polar and have PTSD, also suffer from Panic attacks. Could use friends that have been here and maybe have some advice. I am a little overwhelmed...okay alot overwhelmed. Thanks

Carol... I feel so badly that I missed the chat with you. I don't chat that much because I am not real good at typing fast ....I would much rather message people...If you care to message me with your thoughts or concerns...I always will respond in a timely fashion....I hope we can remain friends....
Hugs....Dr. Fred -

Carol.....No one deserves depression...that is why I wrote my latest Journal about it.
Perhaps you may benefit from the Journal and the comments that were shared.
Message me any time...so we may "talk" about your needs.

Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I am here because I am Bi-polar. Have little support from family and friends. Most people just tell me to "get over it". As the rest of you know....that is just not possible. I am hoping to make friends with others who can understand.
Treatments
- Lamictal Not Working
- Extreme stress...and I hit fight or flight big time. I am either fine...or a mess. Meds work okay..unless stress level hits a high mark. My high mark is much lower then most peoples
- Topamax Not Working
- works better then most unless under undue stress
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- I use as needed for anxiety or panic attacks.
Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Because I have suffered from PTSD for many years. It was only diagnosed 2 years ago. My medical coverage has been limited to county. I did have a therapist for awhile, and we had just scratched the surface. Many things trigger episodes, and I wish to see how others deal with having this problem.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- it helps distract for awhile sometimes
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It was helping while it was available
- Reading Working / Worked
- takes my mind off the horror of the different things that have happened. Otherwise they can consume my thoughts
- Topamax Working / Worked
- I take it for bi-polar...I don't see it really helping with the PTSD
Open Panic Attacks
to find support. See how others cope, maybe find some friends
Treatments
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- not as effectively as I would like. I have tried all the other anti-anxiety ones
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It helped when it was available
