I must agree, I like the hypomanic stages, I feel more like myself and happier for a change....
I already have accomodations through my school. I have all of those listed. May I ask about the service dog? I receive services for school though. I already do some of those things, they don't work....
Today has been okay. I was shocked today, I wasn't moved around today even working a 9-hour shift...everyone else got moved, it was less stressful. The meds I can figure out, the thing is, I can't...
I am very upset. I'm not sure where to even start. First, I'm not taking my meds, just focalin. I didn't hav the money to get all my refills. Which leads me to my excessive spending. I constantly...
Thanks..I don't feel stretched too far, except emotionally. Otherwise I take care of school and the baby and everything else... But I know I am... Thanks for the advice....
My mom moved out. We thought my dad would be mad, but he is super depressed. How can I be there for him if I suffer from depression? This is all making mine worse. I don't know how to help him when I...
I want to know about pain clinics. Has anyone ever gone to one? Do they just give pain meds or what? I don't like taking meds, but I've tried everything and I'm wondering if I should go to a pain...

Hey, I'm Christi. I'm so glad to see my fellow members informing me when o can help. I'm busy with classes but never too busy to help! I'm 18 now and graduated last May. I want to offer some...
I figure you guys may be able to give me some advice on some of this, as most of you are older than me and probably know more about this kind of stuff. Warning: it is quite long, and for that I...
So, I really wanted to comment here... I hope that you can perhaps email me and we could talk that way, as to not take up so much space on here talking about this. But, I know exactly where you are...
Simple answer: Find a new one. ugh My pdoc is VERY willing to work with me. I voiced my weight concerns to him and he always takes that into consideration. Although, I have a history of eating...
Linx, that helps a lot actually. I am also bulimic and my therapist keeps a close eye on my eating habits and such. I lost interest in food for a while and then I think my therapist was finally able...
Fortunately, Im not referring to the commercial, which gets on my nerves because of how many times I see it! But, I saw my pdoc today and he had told my therapist he believes I have BP and would like...
Apparently, I started my resolution early. I never make resolutions... but weight loss year-round sounds good to me. So, I started in November-ish... I was 208(my high), from taking Lyrica and...
I took Paxil for about 5 months or so.. give or take, not sure. But, when I finally decided to get off of it, it wasnt that bad. In fact, I dont even remember anything specific about how it effected...
Hey, I thought I should reply because I am one of the gay members on here. Although you are a male, I still understand what you are going through. And honestly, the beginning of my battle with...
jka, That makes perfect since. And, I totally understand. My gf also has some mental health issues. We went to hich school together and were friends for a long time, but we became even closer when...
I just decided to drop in to post about the Wii Fit. I was also going to suggest it! Its kind of expensive, but for all that it does, its WELL worth the cost! I designed my own workout and I do it...
I understand exactly what you mean. The very same thing happens to me. As a matter of fact, Im going through it right now. The past week has been a "high" for me and all of a sudden today I went...
Im usually not on here, although I drop by to read the posts quite often. Anyways, after having several breakdowns, I was talking to my therapist when she read the notes from my pdoc. He wrote that...
I havent been on at all lately. I hav kept in contact with a few people, but I have been so stressed with school and everything that I havent had time to get on here so... A small update: Im still...
You know what Chris.... normally I wouldnt have a sense of humor because that is a serious matter... however I just came from a Social Work seminar for leadership and being a better person etc.. One...
I have taken all three of those... currently I am taking the trazodone for sleep. Cymbalta made me very sick and I lost a lot of weight in a very small amount of time. I was on Lyrica for 15 months,...
Welcome to HW... and I can ABSOLUTELY say with confidence that you are NOT alone in this. If you want to tell us more about your depression, that may help us relate to you even more. But, I can say...
Hey Chris, Like Frances said, I have been through the very same thing. When I was in 7th grade, I didnt worry too much about it because it was who I was. I didnt tell anyone because I didnt think...
I have been on edge SO much lately. I got my clonazopam filled on Monday and I took it on Monday.. and again on Wednesday. Im supposed to take it as needed and so I have been. I only have a limited...
I knew when I woke up this morning that something was wrong with me. All day I have felt aggitated and just like something was going to happen or something. All day the feeling has become stronger...
Its okay that you talk about yourself, we are here to listen, thats the point. Im sorry about your computer trouble and hope that you can come to us more often. I was also dx'ed with dysthymia. My...
Hi... if you dont mind me asking, how old are you? I ask because I have been where you are. And I know you probably think you are the only one who has been through what you have been through, but you...
Pdoc wants me to start talking this, as needed. I have read about it etc... but I would like opinions from real people! So, if any of you are taking it, please share your story, good or bad and let...
Welcom to HW Gingermom! You will find that we have an elaborate support system here. We are all dealing with the same kind of things and so we help each get through the touch times.. and try to...
I am very glad you found someone who is taking more responsibility for your treatment. My therapist is very passive about things and I hate it.... My pdoc on the other hand is very hands-on and...
THATS AMAZING!!! GOOD JOB!!...
Yea guys... the nurse called me yesterday and talked to me about everything... my pdoc wants to start me on clonazepam as needed, whenever I feel an episode coming on. I will pick it up Monday, but I...
Im usually on the Fibro forum.. and yes we share very similar symtpoms. Im 18 and in my freshman year of college. It has been a difficult task managing the way I feel vs. school. I have missed...
Well, I did it... I made it through the doc appt with the nurse.. I was scared to death.. but she said I seemed better than last time. I actually talked to her this time. Although, I think she felt...
Thanks Maz... I am so very anxious and nervous right now... Im shaking! I have an hour and a half, and yes, I am counting down and that makes it much worse, but I cant help it... Im just not sure...
I know exactly how you feel. And most of the time I dont think things will get any better. But, at the same time I always HOPE that they will. And with all of the support I recieve on here I just...
I agree Frances... small kids always have imaginary friends... if we diagnosed every kid who hears voices with a mental disorder the world would be doomed! Im just not sure how they can say that it...
Im really glad you have found something that is helping you! I cant wait until that day comes to me... also, you are quite fortunate to catch that compassionate nurse.... in the event of an emergency...
does NOT mean you cant live a good life! I read this article about the Oprah episode and the little girl labeled as having schitzophrenia and so thats why I read it... but it turned in a direction I...
Oh yea... things went okay when my parents had a session with my therapist. I think it put things into perspective for them, but it didnt last long AT ALL. Things are just as bad as before so... I...
I just wonder about it because honestly when it happened, it didnt affect me much at all... until later on. Later on it finally just clicked that she really was gone and that I really needed her. I...
