> i just wanted to quickly add that while some people's mental disorders may be alleviated through nutrition or vitamin supplementation *alone*, mine were not. although they did help me a bit and i do still take quality vitamins, as they are important. (you gotta cover every angle around here, margaret!:))
Alesa,
I am glad to hear that you are doing so much better. I have read your posts above too and your story sounds much like mine was in the beginning. I too had a mother with many problems and had to work through this in therapy. (faith based-Cognitive behaviorial) Blessedly, my mother and I were able to talk when I was better and before she died. Ther key here? FORGIVNESS! Learning to let go and really forgive is what really turned my life around. You most likely will not need the medication forever -- just don't fall into the trap that I did and letting the med thing "snowball" Find yourself a GOOD therapist and a spiritual director, and meet me on the "Faith" Board at some point. Keep on keepin on"
