Reading your message makes me think....okay, that was the confirmation I was looking for! But somewhere in the back of my mind creeps this nasty feeling of 'no way'.

 

I've never been hospitalized; I have (at least that's whay they say), a Bipolair II disorder, meaning the stretch is on the depressive episodes and the highs are not that severe. I've been seeing doctors off and on for the last 10 years now, and up till 2 years ago they never even diagnosed me (they said I was too young). Now they've got me on Lithium and Tegretol, and you know what.....I'm not getting that much better. When I wasn't taking meds I would have (for instance) 6 good months and 6 extremely bad months....but in those good months I could do stuff: paint, write, go to college. Now....I can't do nothing. I'm always ill, and it seems like I've got 'a myst' in my head. And it annoys the hell out of me, I want to finish college, I want to do stuff, I want to write (I know, I'm to impatient).

 

The doctor I'm seeing right now is a really good guy, so I've decided to stick with him for a little while longer. But if I'm truthfully....I'm already thinking about quiting the meds, and just....go with the flow. Maybe for just a while, until I've finished college.

 

But it's good to hear you're doing okay Torifaith, I'm really glad to hear that. I hope it will never change.

Deb?  Mensan?  Susan? Donohue?  Faith?...it's been awhile since you have checked in here...I hope that everything is alright.  I miss your wisdom and support.  How are you all doing? (sorry if I skipped your name...I'm terrible with names...I am missing all of the familiar "faces".

from everyone.  You all make me feel as if I am worth listening to.  Donohue, don't ever think anything you have to say is nonsense because I enjoy reading what you write.  It's poetic.  I haven't found a pdoc here in Colorado since we moved here 4 months ago.  Can't really afford one either.  But things are going pretty well so far.  My hair has sort of stopped falling out from stress.  It was pretty bad there for a while what with having to foreclose our beautiful farmette and all.  Now we are in a cramped apartment.  The highlight of my days are babysitting for my 9 month old granddaughter.  I so hope she grows up well and healthy. 

 

That's all for now.  Have a wonderful week all of you............

How quickly your day can go form good to wired to good (I'm tring to not say bad days)I have been working for awhile lately and my youngest wil be one on the first. 

I feel at the moment that i have myself centered and my family working and my faith strong. 

Now i'm adding more (work) i just worry alot that if i do work or try to center work into my world that it will fall apart. 

My job is fast pass and alot of multy tasking, which one day is easy and then another it is very overwhelming. 

Anyone working full time with kids and how are you coping?  Any suggestions on how to keep adding and not to fall apart?????

just died of cancer this morning.  I am so sad I can hardly stand it.  Can't write much now.  Maybe later if I feel better.

 well, i'm sort of new to this, so....i've been dealing with what was originally diagnosed as depression/anxiety, then depression/anxiety & bipolar II  ,  this has been going on for years and more recently in the last 5.  for me i haven't found the right dr. currently he has me on cymbalta , lamictal, serquel, trazadone and ritalin.  i'm a walking pharmaclogical cocktail. and they really don't work.  so i self medicate.  more ritalin, pain pills, etc.  does this sound familar to anyone.  my family has recently gotten very involved, at my request.  we're looking for a new dr.  my current dr. never suggested any type of therapy or counseling......  there is still so much i haven't told them...
