I've just had a thought and thought i'd share! I don't know about evry1 else but 1 of my symptoms is i get the jitters and im negative about it. Thing is - u kno when u first go on a date with sum1, n u get butterflies in ur heart; its usually a positive thing bcoz u kno if u like them if uv still got that feeling at the end. Another thing is smiling - it releases serotonin in the brain: the happy hormone! Hope sum1 finds this useful!

i inherited a family trait which makes me smile when i don't notice... a highly teaseable trait in the family but it doesn't make me happy :(

Reading some of the threads on here makes me crack up. I've also read that laughter does a lot of different healthy things for your body. I am just so pissed off most of the time, and I hate being forced to do things, even being forced by myself, making myself laugh just pisses me off more. I have to be crafty about it.

    We seem to be getting a number of people, new members and people who don't seem to be bipolar either telling people to use "treatments" other than meds, implying meds aren't needed or that you can add further chemical based treatments (like herbal suppliments bought on the net) without discussing it first with a pharmacist, doctor or other proper medical practitioner.Jan and I are extremely...

    What would YOU do if you won the lottery? If I won I would find a program or place that treats the WHOLE body, not just with chemicals or talk therapy, to find a mental health regimen that would FINALLY work for me. I would work to get off of my meds altogether. (Years and years of taking meds that don't help have left me frustrated and fairly angry.) Treatment for mental illness is not for the...
