Wow, thanks everyone for replying. Kymark -aye i know what you're talking about, read about it in detail. I don't remember anything i read (heh) but it wasn't applicable or something. Sarah -aye i've...
Greetings, I have atypical severe migraines. Nothing helps. I've been on every possible migraine med. I seem to be pretty drug-resistant across the board, anti-depressants, painkillers, it doesn't...
Of course you're not stupid. You're doing what's called "mind-reading", and i truly doubt that you are telepathic. We must learn to spot when we're mind-reading and to stop doing it. In Cognitive...
He sounds like he's more focused on himself than you or your suffering. I really don't like the bit about throwing out your meds -who has that right? Nobody. It's a form of control. Some people will...
Hi, I've found that it doesn't matter how much you love someone, you can't make them take care of their health -mental or otherwise. You can't make them go to therapy, or love you back the way you'd...
Hi, Psych meds are very different from anything else. They're designed to get into the brain and and add something that the brain may be lacking. Like Insulin. You always need to keep taking it...
Stronglady, quote: "I think suicide is the ultimate selfish or cowardly act. I am not judging anyone else" Actualy that's exactly what you're doing. In breath you're labeling millions of people as...
Hey, letmebe, I never seem to be able to master the "quote function".... "Why is it that suicide is considered to be the ultimate symptom of depression? any answers?" Do you mean ultimate symptom or...
I used to have this great doc. He really knew his stuff, and he was also very personable and likeable. One day, he told me about a patient who came in with a migraine and he gave her a shot if...
Interesting. I've never heard in my life (the blood dehydration). My first textbook classic migraine hit me when i was in 7th grade. Of course, i had no idea what was going on and it scared me 'cause...
Hey Missie, I'm quite familiar with spine and disc problems, since i have my own. It's really heart-rending to know the kind of pain you must be in; i wish i had something edifying to say, but i at...
Silver, thanks that was sweet. I have one friend in CA. She has a list of bike supplies to get and send to me. Ry, i'm glad you had a happy ending, i really am 'cause that was not a good story. I...
I'm not trying to start anything, but i do want to AngMichelle to know that a VNS device is not permanent, a person can have it removed. Ron, you know when i wrote out my post, i was like the first...
Ha! I remember when i said that. Fate/Life is so eager to show you how wrong you are... I just narrowly avoided being homeless, but that's only 'cause i won't live on the street. I've lived in a car,...
I know what you're talking about, i really do. I've been depressed and suicidal my entire life. Endogenous Depression with Suicidal Ideation. I've been on every type of psych med, combined with other...
It is hard to cope. And feeling empty inside is a terrible thing to feel. Today's a bad day. I'm so tired of the loneliness. It feels like i'm choking on it. A Day Like Any Other Somewhere, i hear a...
You will find that support is a rare thing. But that has nothing to do with you, or who you are as a person -it's not personal. Nobody wants to talk about winding up in a wheelchair due to some kind...
Yes. It does make a noticable difference. They can explain biochemistry all they want, who cares, it doesn't matter. I've read all that stuff too. Poet...
Well for a first-time post you did an excellent job. Hon, in reading your words i genuinely believe it would be good for you to learn more about depression. Like, depression will sometimes manifest...
Honestly? Knowing that one day this physical body will be dead, 'cause there is just SO much **** that i won't have to deal with ever again. I really look forward to that. Poet...
A few things here..... Has this person always displayed signs of a Mood Disorder, did this happen all of a sudden? Were there symptoms in her youth? How long have you known her, have you seen a...
Quote: "I need advice on how to deal with these people... it has gotten to the point to where I don't want to go to his family events when I know they are all going to be there." Don't go. You're...
Sounds like you carry a heavy burden. Understand that feeling guilt and shame are part of the problem. That's part of Depression. Aren't we lucky? Most people do hide their Depression, i forget the...
Zyprexa is kind of toxic on the human body; it's not a good drug. Also, any competent pharmacist will know more about meds and side effects than your average doc. That's the person you want to ask....
This is odd: the first thing that went thru my head, i didn't see anyone mention (or i missed it); which is this: you listed like half a dozen good things and one bad thing. I once had an extremely...
Part of this wonderful experience (sarcasm) is feeling guilty over anything. So understand that part of the guilt isn't real, i mean it feels real but that doesn't mean you actualy DID something...
Hello, If you go to the library and look at the PDR, it has a section that lists meds by drug manufacturer. However, you remember the stories about Prozac and that it increased suicidal behavior? It...
Greetings, I have atypical chronic migraines. Which means, mine are severe, chronic ( at least 4 times a week). And that's only the ones that aren't started by certain triggers. Anyway, i've seen the...
