I have advised Peter that I will abide by his regulations for the forum and requested that he examine closely the work being done on this forum and the work of the moderator who removes files from...
I've understood that all along, Tortoise. That's why it was so frustrating when reading the "We can't be all things to All People..." posted here a few minutes ago. It's Genetic...
Welcome to the Celiac Forum, Rozia. The list is too long, Rozia, to post here, but I will give you the internet address and you may print yourself a copy of the foods listed:...
I feel sure it will. Have a nice holiday weekend coming up; go out with your family and have a very good time. Bye, bye It's Genetic...
Don't worry about that, Frustrated Husband, everything is going to come out in psychiatric treatment. Try to remain calm and wait for your appointment. You will learn much, much more then. Take care....
Thank you for coming back, Frustrated Husband. Of course, no one knows definitely that her actions are totally motivated by bipolar illness or whether she really has these negative feelings toward...
You're welcome, Cactsflwr, and keep in touch here as you need to. It's Genetic...
JAMIE, IS THE SCREEN ENLARGING FOR YOU WHEN YOU PRESS CNTRL + ? IF SO, I'LL STOP USING CAPITAL LETTERS. I HOPE YOUR SPIRITS ARE CALM AND AT PEACE THIS MORNING. I KNOW YOU HAVE ANOTHER LASER SERIES IN...
Hello, Cactsflwr, and welcome to the Bipolar Forum, I'm sorry that you are having to deal with a husband who has untreated bipolar illness--if that's what it turns out to be. Several things might...
A nice post, Bill. I agree with you. I can forgive, too, but it doesn't mean that we have to forget. Forgiveness does more for us than it does for the person who offends. It cleanses us within, but...
JAMIE, I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE TRYING TO POST, BUT VERY SADDENED TO KNOW THAT IT'S RETINOPATHY. ISN'T THERE ANY HOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT FOLLOWING THE SECOND LASER TREATMENT? WHAT ARE THE OTHER OPTIONS...
Trying Hard, It was Madame Curie who said that "nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood." The behavior of the student body toward you is largely the result of ignorance; in fact,...
Okay, Trying Hard, One writer has expressed the teenage gang group as "the herding instinct". That doesn't mean, however, that something can't be done about it. Have your parents go over the heads of...
I wish you would join the forum as a regular member, Neuropathy10. You have made some significant points in your post about his wife needing to be hospitalized for a minimum of three weeks, etc....
Well, then, you've got to get rid of the tornadoes and the little Godzilla! How's your diet? Do you use alcohol at all? Caffeine at all? Chocolate?Remove all of them if you use them, please. How's...
Hello, Lost in WI, welcome to the Depression Forum, Yes, without insurance, help for your wife may be liminted to an extent. Frankly, what she needs is to have a conference with a psychiatrist who...
Trying Hard, I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time at school with classmates who don't understand the illness at all. In my view, you should go to the Head of the Counseling Department at...
Frustrated Husband, I'm sorry you had to read the thread above, but I have seen enough evaluation of your and my communication here that I think it's best that I drop this correspondence with you and...
Well, I think we'd better leave the sex discussions out of the forum, Frustrated Husband. We have youngsters as young as 13 who read these posts, and we don't want to give them the wrong ideas about...
I can't take hydrochlorothiazide either. My internist says it's the sulfa thing. I am extremely allergic to anything with sulfa in it. Have you ever been checked for that? I'm so glad you posted...
Oh, Mogs, you're going to be just fine. I am also very happy for you that you're finding your way clear to establish a "freedom home" for yourself. You will have so much fun decorating and having new...
You're right again. Keep trying to lower the level of lactose in her diet; she will steadily improve if that is the problem. There is another post on this forum by a grandmother whose grandson has a...
You're very quiet about seeking psychotherapy. I am a sensitive person and I feel your pain, but I can't understand why you would not try to make things better for yourself by seeking intellectual...
Good morning, Lu2011, I'm so glad she's getting along better now. I would try very hard to see that the nursery has Lactaid milk for her for the next 2 weeks at least. You will know by then fully if...
Kitty, can you pinpoint anything in your life that is causing the panic attacks? If not, you should have some bloodwork done, in my view. Often (according to the things I've been reading lately)there...
Well, if you mock religion inside, there isn't much hope for you except to get pyschotherapy and "break out of the mold", as Bill says. What you have been describing, in my view, is the narcissistic...
I guess it depends,too, on what you mean by "work". Do they relieve symptoms? Yes. Do they cure bipolar illness? No. There are people who no longer take medications for bipolar illness, but they have...
I know that many express the idea that without their medications they'd be "dead". For others, they're willing to try anything to keep from having to take such high levels of medications for such...
I'm sure her psychiatrist is going to want to continue to see her, Frustrated Husband. Your counselor is right; she is not recovering from the guilt of her affair. She must deal with that. I get the...
You know, I'llmissyoucat, there's really nothing wrong with being alone, and it certainly doesn't cause insanity. Some people are made for marriage; others are not. Some people are dependent on...
Hello, Fedupwife, and wlecome to the Bipolar Forum. Bill,Angie, and Wifeofbipolar, are all right in their evaluations, in my view. You know that the little child in your husband is responsible for...
No, Bill, you're not crazy, and you're not filled with hate. I admire the ability that you are able to let anger go. You do need, in my view, to take care of yourself and your home. The home is one...
Thank you, Bill, and I'llmissyoucat, for those responses. It's encouraging to know that others are aware of the same thing and have to be careful about what they look at and read. I can remember my...
I think it's super that you're going to talk to a psychiatrist, Frustrated Husband. He can advise you much more accurately than we can. I do think, however, that your wife is out of line in pushing...
I think you ought to let your X know that you mean business about her being out on the very day that she is supposed to be out. Your arrangements are on a schedule, and she has plenty of time to make...
Recently I had cablevision removed from my account with a television company. I did so because the programs were deteriorating in quality and the subjects were so violent. I don't regret it for one...
Good morning, Frustrated Husband, I'm a litle late getting back to you but I am catching up this A.M. Well, you are talking and that's good and it sounds as if the Lamictal may be working. Her...
Nice post. Call it Buddism, Catholicism, universal spirit, Greater Power, whatever you want to call it, spirituality plays a vital role in making one's life whole and in seeing value in oneself and...
A quick reply to the narcotics thing, CuriousKitty: people don't set out to become narcotic addicts, but when they expose themselves to a culture that encourages indulgence, they may become addicted....
I enjoyed your post CuriousKitty, and there are a several things I might suggest as the reasons why society is functioning as it is in this country: We are living in an age of rapidly expanding...
Okay, Frustrated Husband, I appreciate your keeping in touch about how things are going. First of all, the amount of Lamictal she is taking is not easily diagnosed as not being sufficient to be...
Depending on how long she has been taking Lamictal at 50 mg., you may begin to see some positive changes. The standard dose is 100 mg once daily. Her willingness to see a psychiatrist is encouraging....
I have not idea, Hope98733. I've never taken it; I posted the trade name so that members who have taken the drug might recognize it more readily and respond to your request. It's Genetic...
This drug is Effexor, folks; it's an antidepressant. I.G....
Hi, Mogs, I'm really sorry this is happening to you. Is there any way you can afford to have private counseling on your own so that you are free from the need to share in his critical views? If the...
Hello geist.justine, and welcome to the Bipolar Forum. Yours is a sad case of having made the human error of falling in love with someone who has a major mental illness that has probably never been...
You're welcome, Frustrated Husband, and I think that you might want to consider some psychiatric counseling on your own to make sure that you don't develop what is called a "traumatic stress syndrome...
Your post was very real and truthful, Frustrated Husband; I appreciate that and welcome you to the Bipolar Forum. The most significant thing that strikes me about your situation is that for some time...
I'm glad to see you and Tortoise working as a team. That'll make the forum brighten a bit and give members a secure sense of strength here. It's Genetic...
Hi, BPWife, I read an interesting statement today by a doctor of psychology who said that essentially what we all have to do is to take a pill to kill the ego and that isn't easy to do. Your husband...
