    • Hug

      From GiselleSylphide Friday

      Thanks for the support and suggestions. I've taken both abilify and seroquel before and neither of them have done anything for me. Well, I take that back, I slept amazingly on seroquel, but that's about it.

    • Close Self-Injury

      i can't remember a time when i didn't do little things to hurt myself in times of crisis, but it escalated when the paranoid schizophrenia hit & my husband left. i've quit numerous times over the years, but it's always come back.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked

      actually a red washable paint pen.
      Rubber Bands Somewhat Helpful
      the only problem is the pain goes away too quickly.

      i use their book sometimes. i don't agree with the entire program, but parts of it work for me.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      for the most part it takes care of my psychotic symptoms, but doesn't take care of the bipolar like it should.
