- As Gatiss and Moffat wrote for The Lying Detective episode, Your life is not your own. Keep your hand off it. I'm keeping my hands to myself for now, adjusting meds, increasing therapy. Just wanted to let my community know.
- I've been circling the drain for a long time now and received news yesterday that my last gambit at holding on, waiting for better, striving for hope has failed. There's a project I need to complete to meet my responsibilities to a friend, but right...
- Today, it's been a year since Rubes' death. I'm not doing so well. I miss her all the time and I've fallen into bad habits that I know she'd nag me for. I have to do better, sometimes it's just really hard. I miss her humour and encouragement....
- I read an article about the effectiveness of Ketamine treatment for depression, chronic pain, and PTSD among other things and wondered if anyone has experience with it? It's not covered under insurance so it'd be quite an investment for me, but I've...
- Tomorrow, 4/7, would hve been Rubyblue's birthday. Please light a candle, raise a toast, play some groovin' music - honour her memory and rejoice in the knowledge that she is at last at peace. Though she is gone she is ever with us in our hearts and...

- I have a trip coming up next week and I don't have the money for it. I panicked and sort of hinted to my well-off aunt I could use some funds, but other than that I've been racking my brain trying to find ways to come up with additional funds. I...
- For many years, there's been a wonderful, kind, empassioned member here at DS who has unstintingly offered her support, advice, kindness, and shared her struggles with our community. She has been a true friend, a knowledgeable resource, and someone...
- I don't remember who was asking about Lithium, but thanks. I was reminded of how effective it was for me before I went toxic and I talked to my pdoc about resuming it y'day. He said it's been long enough (years) that I can take it again and we'll...
- just a reminder to anyone who lives in the US and had Sprint or Verizon as a wireless carrier since 2010 - the deadline to file a claim is midnight tonight. The two wireless carriers settled with the FTC after allowing third-party companies to...
- Happy New Year Everyone!!I know I've been MIA for awhile - it's been a roller coaster. I'm struggling with a depressive episode right now, but I'm making my way forward (one moment, one step at a time). It's been a really big year for me. Lots of...
- ok so i'm not dead. i found a place to live. it's weird being on my own, but i like it. i'm getting used to it. i like my new city and i'm getting used to it. i haven't got out too much, but i'm learning how to get to a few places and there are...
- I will respond to PMs and Hugs and such a bit later - I'm really behind. Things have been crazy the last couple of weeks. I've had some dips, but I've been doing ok for the most part. I just wanted to share. After a 19 hour drive - all by myself! I...
- i had carpal tunnel surgery a couple of days ago. i'm not really in pain. i'd say more discomfort. but oh my gosh - the itchies - post-op has anyone else had to deal with the itchies? how did you not go mad? seriously, i want to pull all the...
