Sorry you're feeling blue serafena. Hugs to you....
The one that helped my husband and I was Bipolar for Dummies. It was so helpful and easy to read....
Taking her meds regularly and seeing her docs are so very important in the healing process. Especially if she is skipping doses here or there, it's just going to make things much worse. Also,...
I never understood why insurance companies will only pay for certain meds. For example, my husband was on Aciphex for heartburn and then swithced to a different insurance and they required him to...
I'm here. I've never heard of that. Have you researched it online at all?...
I'm so sorry closure. No one should have to endure the level of physical and emotional pain you are experiencing right now. If I could teleport myself to you and help you I would do so in a...
I was wondering where you've been lately!!!...
I agree with Cap, you can never tell when it will manifest itself. Generally it's when the person is younger. However, I am almost 34 and was just diagnosed. Granted as I look back, I do see some of...
Well, I've been thinking about your situation for a few hours. I'm sure it's frustrating that you posted this a few hours ago and still have not gotten a response. I'm afraid I don't have very much...
I wrote you back :)...
Oh a haircut will be so nice! I love getting my haircut when I am feeling bad! Having someone wash my hair for me is the ultimate stress reliever!!! Good for you! Glad you are feeling better!...
I see where you are coming from. I have kind of been in your shoes, not to your extent though. I was in a long term relationship with a man who suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I'm...
Cap, your post made me LOL. "I am the token male". That is too funny. Welcome aboard Luna! AZteacher...
We're here for you closure. Just breathe slowly. Try to meditate. I know it sounds silly but just take a few minutes to breathe and clear your thoughts. I'm sending you some positive vibes and hugs...
M73 took the words right out of my mouth. It has less to do with the bipolar and more to do with the physical abuse. Bipolar or not, it's just not acceptable and using the bipolar as an excuse is...
I hope you're feeling better about the situation!...
Oh boy, my 3 year old just told me I had a beard on my knee....lol...
I second the Twilight series. It's SO addicting! Very easy read and you will absolutely not be able to put them down. Trust me. I am not a big reader AT ALL and I could not put these books down....
Oh yeah B, I heard about that one at one of my classes too! That's supposed to be really good as well....
Welcome to the board Daisy!...
Its a salutation. It's how we end our yoga class. We put our hands together in a prayer position and bow to our instructor and say Namaste. It literally means "I get out to you"....
I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. I can't even begin to say that I remotely understand how you feel because I don't. I would be going stir crazy as well. I just posted a really cool...
So we did this thing called a healing Mudra, which is basically a meditation with hand gestures. It was pretty cool and I thought I would share it with you guys. You sit Indian style with your hands...
I'm sorry he was such a jerk to you B. I know it's so much easier said that done but you just need to avoid him. I was the same way with my ex boyfriend though. I would do anything he asked me to do....
There is an over the counter shampoo out there called Nioxin that is supposedly pretty good....
I can totally relate and I am absolutely the same way. When I had my really really bad time back in April I actually went 3 days without showering and I still had to go to work. Looking back I don't...
All's good in the hood!...
Are there any schools in your area that have permanent sub positions where you could make coworker friends? For example, you would be the only sub at a particular school. Or do you have part-time...
Hang in there ((HUGS))...
Glad to hear you're feeling a little better!...
It went really well. I don't even know why I was nervous. I guess it's because it's so hard for me to be assertive. Anyway, he asked how I was doing and I told him I was feeling really great. I said...
OMG Closure I LOVE PEREZ!!! He seriously makes my day brighter!!...
I'm so glad I found this board too. This place is just what I was looking for!...
M2E, Have you tried mall walking? I know it sounds lame, but I am loving it! We go before the mall even opens. Yoga is fabulous and I love, love, love pilates. You dont need much room to do either of...
Thank you all for your advice. I am going to talk to him openly tomorrow and tell him how I am feeling about the Depakote. I definitely want to cut back to 500. I guess I didn't want him to take me...
Well, I haven't really figured it out yet. School doesn't start for 2 more weeks. As of right now I am exercising twice a day and it's going great. My exercise buddy (and coworker) has offered to...
I don't know if you're still on but I'm here too. I just put DD down for a nap. I can IM too if you want. Let me know....
I have an appt with my psych on Wed and I am thinking about asking him to cut my depakote back to 500mg instead of 1000mg. I am currently on 1000mg depakote, 100mg topamax, 30mg buspar and hosestly I...
How 'bout it?...
I dont think so. I dont think we are allowed to talk about personal stuff either :( Sorry...
I'm glad you checked in b. I've been thinking about you all afternoon!...
Walking and music are a distraction for me too. I love being on my laptop as well. I have several websites that I love that distract me (cheesy Hollywood gossip especially). Calling a reliable friend...
Enough Already!! (Ironically, how I feel sometimes LOL)...
Please know that I am thinking about you today and sending positive energy your way...
Go for it!...
Little b I hope you are ok. As I read this I felt very sad for little b and feel like I want to do something to help. Closure, I think you handled this situation stupendously and kudos to you for...
I was just going to say that getting out of the house is definitely a good thing and might help get his mind off the depression, espessially if he's starting a new job. Personally, when I had my most...
I hope you're feeling a little bit better today... (((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))...
I'm srry you're going through such a tough time right now. I wish there was more that I could say to make you feel better, but at leat knw that I am here for you....
Hi Brittany. Welcome to the board. :) I am also on 1000 of depakote. However I dont like it because of the weight gain. Otherwise it has made me feel better. Is that the only med you are taking right...
