I realy appreciate your caring. It's been very rough. I've been referred to two hospital programs, but my family doctor seems to be a novice at finding me a psychiatrist who is not attached to a...
Hello, I'm Blessing Waters. I've been posting a bit on the bi-polar forum, but a pdoc recently told me I'm not bi-polar. It's a complicated mess that I won't go into, just stick to the critical...
Hello smr127, Oh dear, I don't blame you for panicing. I also developed a rash shortly after going on lamictal, same dosage. It was limited to one thigh, halfway up from the back of my knee, coming...
Hi Lilac1985, you sound worried and confused and scared. Am I right? Who wouldn't be when questioning yourself about possible mental illness? I understand you disliking talking to strangers about...
Dear Serafina, I really do appreciate being able to just purge some of my huge frustration sometimes. All I want is to try to get back the ground I lost. My expectations for true healing and mental...
Hello Serafina, no I'm not offended or upset. I understand I rambled. I just wrote an explanatory reply and accidentally closed the window and lost it, now don't want to write it all again, so I'll...
I know I'm not the only one who feels like life is chaotic and that when you get up in the morning, you just don't trust it'll feel much like it did when you climb into bed that night. Maybe why that...
