- I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type last year when I had my first psychotic episode. About 6 months before that I started seeing a psychiatrist for my horrible anxiety. After a few days on Lexapro sent me into a major up and...
- I played violin today. This is the first time I've played at home in a long time and I've been avoiding my lessons and since it's summer I'm getting out of my school orchestra practices. I've been having an even harder time with wanting and enjoying...
- I've had really bad insomnia since I was very young and was often up at three in the morning by myself in elementary school. I've always been very afraid of the dark so those nights up alone were terrifying. While I was up I'd occasionally see...
- About a week and a half ago we got our school yearbooks. My friend and I were flipping through it together when we came across a memorial page. (To protect his identity I'll call him John). There was a big picture of him with his name. I'm sad to...
- About a month ago I developed a fairly severe dystonic reaction to the medication Seroquel. I lost almost all control over my body and was having constant muscle spasms. I went to the hospital twice in 24 hours because it spread from just my...
- I'm just so lonely. One of the girls on my cheer tore her ACL and had to have surgery to repair. She's a really sweet girl, a team favorite. So our captain asked everyone to send her photos of her to make her a get well poster that we're all going...
- I'm drowning in school and it's only the first day back to the new semester. I can't focus and can't do my work. I think there's something off with my medication. I only had an inkling but now I know I'm depressed again. I'm relying too heavily on...
- Getting ready to go bed after a really crappy day. Every year my dad's side of the family has a get-together and I only ever see them at this event. This is one of the worst, if not the worst, days for my anxiety and social anxiety. This...
- It feels like everything is falling apart. Ever since I started on medication about 4-5 months ago, I've been dealing with an entirely different set of issues. Bipolar disorder came as a surprise diagnosis about three months ago. I've been in...
- I'm so sick of my parents constantly analyzing my symptoms and behaviors. I'm not even a person to them anymore, I'm just a disorder. I'm just something to fixed. There's nothing "wrong with me". I am more than just my mental issues. I am a talented...
- I feel like I'm just running away from myself. I started Seroquel a few months ago after finally going to a psychiatrist and it stopped all of my symptoms over night. At first, it was great to finally have relief. But about a month after, I crashed....
- I recently read "The Universe of Us" by Lang Leav. (The first book I've been able to finish in months, yay!) Anyways, I fell in love with many of her poems but there are two in particular that left me feeling hopeful about the future. I hope you...
- A few months ago, my boyfriend made me promise to stop cutting and burning. Very reluctantly, I promised. I only had one small relapse a couple weeks after that. This is something I'd really like to be proud of and for the most part, I have been. I...
- My "hangups" as I call them have really started to affect my relationships. I can hardly stand to be around my mother anymore. I just get so caught up on these little behaviors that people do and I just freak out. These "small" things that don't...
- My whole life, I've been living with such emotion. My joys would bring me sky high, my lows would bring me rock bottom. Now I'm living life in a box, never too high or too low. My dream for so long finally realized and I don't know how much I...
