- I just got back from my hearing. It is finally over and done with and out of my hands. I knew it was going to be tough, but it was much worse than I anticipated. It was BRUTAL, in fact. I had a panic attack this morning when I was supposed to be...
- Tomorrow is the day that I have been both greatly anticipating and seriously dreading. After 2 years of going through this process I finally have to/get to make my case in front of a judge for my BD related disability claim. I am terrified that I am...
- I know I just posted a music thread last week, but I just received a brand new iPod touch in the mail from my AMAZING sister, and I need some upbeat music recommendations to add to my new toy! I have to drive out of town, 8 hours round trip, to see...
- I am struggling. My disability appeal hearing is the beginning of September, and I can think, literally, of nothing else. My mind just keeps going over it again and again and again...I spoke with my lawyer this past week. I have my last pdoc...
- Need some music recommendations for the weekend. I love finding out what you guys are listening to or what kinds of music you like or enjoy. Sad, happy, rock, pop, jazz, blues, etc. Whatever music you enjoy has value, and we would love to hear about...
- Today marks 2 weeks since I began Effexor. The nausea has subsided somewhat, but I still don't have an appetite. Some new, fairly disturbing side effects started last nite, and I can feel them sneaking back up on me again right now. My Effexor is...
- My new meds seem to be working, and my mood has been the best it has been in years. However, I know there are many, many people suffering amongst us right now, some in crisis. You are NOT alone, and the painful footprints you might be walking in now...
- My pdoc tansitioned me from Wellbutrin to Effexor almost 2 weeks ago. The nausea has been the worst I have ever experienced. I am having a very difficult time eating, and recently the nause has gotten so bad that I'm barely drinking, as well. I've...
- When it comes to "angst" music I've got it covered. Elliott Smith, Cowboy Junkies, Joy Division, the Smiths... If I want to sit and cry I've got the musical selections to accompany my dark moods. Recently I have actually been feeling better. Lighter...
- I recently read a post about whether or not medical marijuana was a viable treatment option for those suffering from BD. This thread was promptly "closed" and I was wondering why. I looked at the poster's profile and discovered that she was a 14...
- My bipolar 2 symptoms have been escalating for quite some time now, and they continue to worsen. I am 48, and I still have a menstrual cycle, but I strongly suspect that being perimenopausal is wreaking havoc with my moods and overall mental...
- I am struggling with the loss of relationships with family and friends as a result of my Bipolar Disorder. (The anxiety over this has gotten so severe that I am now having nightmares as a result.) I thought maybe if you all shared some of your...
- 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...
- I'm new here and unsure how much to post. Making oneself vulnerable is scary, and my experience in the past has been rejection when showing/sharing my true self with others. I have lost many friendships and connections to several members of my...
