Okay, you :)
>I am joked by close friends as Dr Bill,cause unlike us here the average person knows nodda,so when u mention ahy chemicals thats genuis to them.
>
> Anyway im not proud of knowing as much as i do,id rather have that knowledage in another field,but i just was not getting the answers from the "professionals" i was in pain and i wanted to know why,what was is happening to my brain,i no docter would address that.* Um, maybe I'm crazy, but many of us through desperation, research and sharing of the knowledge here know more than many many docs. I wish mine would check this out; there is SO much here for them to learn. Nobody has as much motivation to research this condition as we do...
> Its a catch 22 cause when u do learn a fair amount,well at least in my case,u tend to get a little cocky and dabble in self medication.I cant say i regret doing it,before i did i was literaly a blank page,i was heading towards suicide and had a med draw with all types of meds that made me feel insane.
>
>
> When i did start self medicating,with a professional aside me,i began to get much better,yess i still have it,but i have achieved many things i know i never would have had i left it to the industry.* True. Had I sat around and waited any longer for a 'professional' to fix me I wouldn't have had at least the few good days I've been having. Waited for three decades for the pro to do the job right; it was ONLY by finding you all that I was able to trial/error put something together that is helping. Having a good doc to help helps, but sometimes you gotta just try something, I understand that. Not scloding you, just expressing my concern. Always with the knowledge that we all will do what we have to do and the respect that only you have to deal with your experiences.

> When ur in charge of a project mistakes are a given it will happen,and well unfrotunatly this project doesent allow much room for mistaks without possably deadly consequenses.And using ritalin was a bad move by me.
>
> My mother wont let me do it and has tossed away vitamin b6 etc not caring what it was,in her mind if a doc scripts it,its good,shell block me from using kava yet feel it fine to take klonopin 4 a day as one doc had it and e a zombie,she doesent know this disease is nothing but trial and error for patient and docter.* Moms... go figure, huh? : ) Funny line about the kava and klonopin...
>
> I do what i do cause im prepared to die in the midst,i will not,refuse to put my gloves down and live in absolute pain and misery,without throwing a few punches back in my own defense.* Again, I understand and have been there. In many ways was already dead so whats the harm in trying SOMETHING???
>
> So i am at war,i try to be as safe as possable come here ask questions,visit places like remedy find,consult with my doc a lil bit,but i understand i play a deadly game and like with ritalin i can end up dead or a veggie.>
> But what kinda life is worth living with depression,none,so to me its worth the risk of fighting with no rules,depression is merciless and unrelentless ,so to me any working treatment willl be the very painstaking t find.* I forget, from reading of the experiences of so many: has anything ever worked for you? >
>
> Ok im preaching,but my soul is scarred for life,i lost my entire 20`s to this disease,and unlike a broken leg where u can get ur mind off it with a book or pals,u cant escape ur mind the very thing in pain,this makes it crucuial that i fight it as hard as it fights me.* Agreed, and respected.
>
> LOL being a mom i can imagine u just biting ur tongue to yell at me for being reckless at times,sometimes i know better but im only human.* Not at all. I am unfortunate enough to know where you are coming from.
>
> My heart and every ounce of empthy goes out to anyone who knows the true pain of CLINICAL mental disorder.We are scarred inside for life, but we hope for a future regardless.Yes, we do. And I feel confident that you will have yours. Keep looking.
Take care,
Suzie
