I'm sorry that you're not feeling good. I know i'm not ignoring you. But if I see a post and don't have any experience (like supplements or treatments) then I usually don't resppond. It's not that I'm ignoring the person, just that I don't know anything about what they are asking about. I know I have posted before and only had one or two responses. It's no biggy to me though because sometimes I post just to get it out of my system. I hope you get to feeling better
(((((((hugs)))))))

Tats, sorry you feel ignored. It truely isnt intentional but the ebb and flow of the board and subject matter. Glad to see you around, havent seen you in a while.

As for vitamins, I take several and not sure in my brain fog I will remember all....each has its purpose and I added gradually to make sure I wasnt just popping it cuz someone told me to. They each do make a difference.

I take flaxseed and cod liver oil, calcium, multivitamin with extra iron, vitamin D, vitamin super B complex which is a combo of B's, oh and also a probiotic for healthy stomach flora. With all the psych meds we take it helps our digestion and we absorb food better. I actually did notice that I didnt crave carbs as much and I have much less bloating and maintain a much lower weight. I am missing something but not sure what.....hope this helps..........xo

Been thinking about you to Going....hope things are lifting for ya. Yes the nature of the beast ugh. Love you too...big hugs.

Thanks Andrea.....I appreciate your post.

It's me....got set off. Thanks of the support everyone....there have been alot better days for me on Ds.

I am new but I know the left out and lonely feelings.
I will gladly be your friend.
I do take vit d mega dose and b and a multi vit.
just moved to new area so have to find a new Pdoc and get back on meds.
I do know the vit help my skin and hair alot. I also use bio hormones and thryoid compounds. I use compounds because my mom died of breast cancer.

take care and message me if need to talk, sometimes I just lurk and not log in.

no what you mean

...i mean "know"... sorry

sorry your feeling neglected heres a hug for you ((( hug)))

Sorry, I have so many groups (I think it is borderline hypomania!), I don't get to the boards much these days. Enough trying to keep up with friends, beside my real life.

If you posted about vitamins and mineral supplements, the answer is YES! I take so many I couldn't post them all. I have multiple illnesses, and they really help. I am med free for bipolar, which doesn't make me normal, but definitely under control. Vitamins, combined with exercise and a relationship with God through Christ.

Hey there! Sometimes that happens and it may not be personal at all. People just may not have anything to add or offer. I know I typically try to stay in my comfort zone and if there's an area I don't know a lot about, won't post. But always respond to IM's and messages. So if you ever need to talk, feel free to contact me!

Hey tats: sorry you're feeling rough. I don't recall seeing any of your posts on the main board, could they have been on one of the sub-boards (e.g. crisis, treatments)?

I'm thinking, and it's just a possibility, but I'm thinking that if you posted anything about nutrients or supplements that no one may have even opened up your thread to respond. There are so many people who get on here with hidden agendas to promote certain supplements as the "cure" for bipolar, etc. I pretty much just skip over anything like that without much of a thought. It's possible that others do this also. You'll notice that this thread is getting plenty of responses and the topic has nothing to do with supplements. Just a possible explanation.

Yeah, it does feel crappy when you get no return posts, no messages, no hugs and you're left out in the desert to fend for yourself *sound of violins* as the sun sets on another day of absolute hell in a world of pain, suffering and boredom *sniff, sniff* while the fruit bats fly overhead just waiting for any opportunity to steal your fruit.

Seriously, I hope that you are able to get some relief soon. Fruit bat and the rest of us are all here for you. : - )

I won't ignore you. What's been going on in your life?? Let us know. Sometimes I feel like I'm being ignored, too.

I go along with Angela 53510--I think B vitamins and magnesium have helped me a great deal with mood swings. I wish I'd always used them--I'm 56, so probably menopause (I take HRT) has taken the edge off some of my ups and downs. I don't know.

Post more about your results with supplements, if you want. I'm interested.

BTW, I've felt ignored a few times, too, but in fact it's kind of cool how one can come and go here, say what one wants. And see how many people responded to you! Kudos for being real about your feelings...sometimes I just brood.

I don't frequent the board that often. Tonight is unusual for me. When I do, I'll keep an eye out for your posts, though. :)

WHat exactly do you take and what brands? I need some guidance. I just found some vitamin D and C And I take fish oil.

Well, I cant lie I have not noticed much of your previous posts. But to better explain I rarely take much head in identifying the poster. I feel if what I say entirely depends on them, it makes lead to be biased. Only in situations where things seem completely complex or are definitely a branch or continuation of something do I really look into it. Or the rare occasion I recognize the persons picture or SN.

So, given that, I will say I am sorry you have not gotten very many responses. I know how frusterating that can feel.

However, if you are ever in serious need of some focused advice or support, dont hesitate to send me a PM. [I might not get back immediately, but I will respond]

Peace and love to you,
TS
