i am tri-polar...seriously, ...sometimes i cant comprehend what is being said, or sometimes i become paranoid, and/or depressed.


if your inate personality is pretty strong, you can overcome just about anything tho....i do have ativan for my anxiety attacks, but SO WHAT!!! i still have hopes to work full-time again, have my own moneies etc, i could blame my circumstances, but i'll just keep s(p)lugging away like everyone else in the workplace. and trust me, i've met PLENTY of closet psychotics in the workplace. :


sometimes, when you dont love what you see in the mirror, you just gotta encourage yourself.

so how come yall dont follow up after my comments...dag???!!!

i suppose i fit in the mental health part of this thread.
i have suffered from anxiety/depression of and on since i was 19....damn, thats over half my life.

when i was really bad i suffered from debilitaing panic attacks and was house bound.
with the help of a very understanding GP (and supportive partner) i seeked counselling and was put on anti depressentants.

i now know the signs...when its more than just a bad day...over and over...and i seek help immediately.

i am a lot better now than when i started out...but often have to remind those around me that sometimes i just cant help being anxious, and give me some time/space.



i hate the term :"mental illness" as i personally think it stops some ppl seeking help, in case they get labelled.
fact is at least 1 in 5 ppl suffer from some sort of MI, and the more ppl who talk about it will raise awareness

when i get to a certain stage...i'll sit there and just stare at my meds....but i know if i have gone to a dr to get them in the first place, i need to take them.

thanks for the kiss, I have too many worries though

I am very grateful for antidepressant medication.

It has gotten me through some very tough periods and allowed me to participate fully in my life and be the me I love to be.

I really hope you find some relief and happiness.

My user name says it all. I guess you can say I am bipolar, though I am NOT depressed. I just get crazy sometimes wanting to cut your fucking head off. My mood changes like time. I just try to have as much fun as possible.

is your username from u2?
