I am lucky.

As am I.... as am I

Quote: so she got off meds with nutrition changes, fish oils, detoxes, vitamin and mineral supplimentation, and christian counseling.

This really worked? Cause it doesnt' seem like if your symtoms were severe it would do much good.

she couldent drive

couldent go in places where people were

sould lose her composure in teh supermarket, post office, church, name it...

would be reduced to convulsions (literally - that freaked the shit out of me) and heavey racking sobs and total fear/panic over literally NOTHING.

sleep was all fucked up.

couldent leave the house.

couldent be around loud music or clashing stimuli of any sort

had to call the paramedics because she kept thinking she was having heart attacks.

that sort of stuff.

for a couple of years.

tough times, trust me, it was very hard for me to understand, and harder still for her to understand.

sex life totally went bye bye for that time too.....

anyway....I'd call that severe. it severely fucked us up for years.

God thats horrible. It almost sounds like she had a bit of phobia too, my mom had that for a few years and couldn't leave the house she thought she'd die of what I don't know.

Well that did it. Don't know if its the powers that be testing my strength or what......but I have had it. He/she/it wants to throw some more nutties at me this year I have had it. I will just walk away unless it is a dear to me family member. My sister, my man....or one of my kids.

Anyone else can KISS MY ASS goodbye.

Keep meeting people with Sybil Syndrome.

(your a good man for sticking around Steven, my dad hid his head in a bottle when this was going on....actually left her for a year to fend for herself, my grandma had to bring us groceries)

I can understand how that would be challenging when I was married for 6 years my wife was on like 5 or 6 different medications for mental illness. She is even more mentally ill than I am. I don't really smoke pot even anymore or do anything because it makes my schizophrenia flare up. I don't even take vicodin anymore.

One more good friend tried to kill themselves recently. I think, out of loneliness. He is not nuts...has a few minor issues and is otherwise stable and healthy and quite productive in life.

Thing is he doctor gives him all the stuff TO DO IT WITH and no counciling?

Two very strong drugs and he tried to OD

I know someone who's home health nurse gives him enough meds FOR THAT DAY only.

Do you have to try to kill yourself before they take that sort of action or what?

I am currently taking Nexium (the purple pill) from a bad acid reflux squabble I've dealt with for a few months now.

I take Singular for my allergy relief. It does seem to work, though I don't know if I can get another script.

But far as anti-depressants go, I'm not on any. You can't medicate every problem in life..

[TitsMcGee]

Omerprazole for acid reflux

Welburine for severe depression/borederline personality disorder

Celexa as a mood stablizer

The Pill

and occassionally a sleeping pill if my insomnia gets bad enough.

I was diagnosed when I was 12 with the depression and borderline traits along with being a cutter. I have been on at least 10 different meds since then. I didnt start the welbutrine till this past Feb though. I had been on effexor for almost 5 years and then my brother in law killed himself, which basically sent my depression into a tail spin. I've basically been in a depression since two days before Christmas because of Pat's suicide. I'm the type of person who hates taking meds, but I do it because I don't think right now it would be good for anyone if I went off of them. I work through my issues the best I can without therapy because the last person I saw was a flameing idoit. What I'm trying to get at is that everyone has things that triggers the depression or suicidalness, and if done right the meds can help alot. I know they've saved me from slashing my arms up many times. Although I will say that prozac is the fucking devil.
