Please help; too depressed, it won't STOP

I left CRE, got help. Diagnosed with bi-polar and mild psychotic disorder (wtf).

I'm in school, seeing a counselor, on meds, the depression still isn't gone (the lows still cause me to wan to die) but they are much more mild than before.

 

Glad to hear you got help, and that you are o.k. Take care of your self and stay in touch.

 

Posted in your other thread, glad to hear you got help depression by itself sucks but add just the bi polar to it and it get WAY worse, my sister suffers from that and its NOT good at all. I did my battle with depression and won, you can to. Glad to hear you are on the right track.

 

My ex wife is bi polar with borderline personality disorder. It's definitely no picnic.

 

Hello young lady, Glad your doing better. I have a friend, and she had kind of has the same issues. She joined a Church, and has been doing great. I will never force the Church or Bible on anyone, But, things happen to me, and It helped. Heck I have ton`s of Great friends from a few Churchs. When my brother was Murdered, I had no one to talk to. Then My best friend handed me a Bible, I read a lot of it, It has helped me. I still have some serious problems thinking about how this happened to him.

 

Hello Suessi.
I have a confession to make.
Whenever I read your name I crave
Green eggs and ham.
So far, I've gained 15 pounds.
Thanx to you I now look marvelous.

On a serious note, I see you're located in California where laws have been changed to legally include medical marijuana for treatment of disorders. All that's needed is a doctor's referral to obtain a card to present at any of the co-ops that dispense the herb. Many have reported favorable results.

Those who prefer to go on believing all the lies our government has been telling us about the "evil devilweed" instead of doing a little research into the legitimate research studies conducted over the past 30+ years that prove that what we've been told, (based on NO research), by our government is not factual, have a right to be wrong if that's their choice.

Remember, -----------------------
There are none so blind as those who would lead a thirsty horse to water and still not smell the coffee brewin' on the greener side of the fence.
Or, ..... somethin' like that.

Another thing I recommend that you do, ------
Walk up to your boyfriend, look 'em square in the eyes, and plant a lip-lock on him that he won't soon forget. Now, ...... he's gonna ask what that was for, ........ so be prepared to tell 'em that I, Shakey AfterShock, prescribed the treatment. That oughta confuse him enough to just resume where the two of you left off.
Try that, ......... and call me in the morning.

BTW; your boyfriend sounds like a keeper.
And you can tell him I said so.

 

I haven't read but a few posts but feel obligated to say, stay out of the drivers seat.
Living in a truck alone is like putting gas on a fire. And then you throw in getting treated like crap by everyone else in this industry you ar putting yourself in a very dangerous situation.
Please do yourself a favor and stay completely away from the drivers seat.
As for your meds, be careful what you take. Some meds have been linked to suicide once people are taken off of them. Medical mj has been a hughe help to a few I know that deal with major suicide. I have seen it works. They are worthless in doing anything work related, but they have a happy simple life.

Good luck to ya.

 

And a big plus one for the church joining post>

 

Little advice from someone who's been there. DO NOT STOP TAKING YOUR MEDS UNLESS A DOC SAYS SO. This is very important. People get this idea they are cured and leave the meds then it comes back. Most depression is a life long illness. It sucks but is.manageable. goodluck. If ya need anything. We are here

 

The only thing that helps me when I feel depressed is being productive.

When I work and earn a good check, I'm immediately happy.

When I'm idle, I get depressed. I'm talking BAD. Bad enough to worry those close to me.

Therefore, I work as often as I can and try to stay active when I'm home so I don't slip into that rut.
