Have you ever worked on something like rejection practice...your aim is to be rejected.... Can really desensitize you!
It pertains mainly to rejections within the romantic realm, however.jobs ( can't get one), social, and business, and getting rejected from 2 out of the 6 business schools I applied to (and probably will get rejected from the rest too despite my objective qualifications).
Get all this stuff down in pen and paper, see exactly where you want to go, what you want to get. Accept the rejections if they come. Don't foresee them but. And don't ever associate them with who you are.
> I am really tired of my life.I know that might be vain, stop thinking so much about it and just LIVE your life. So many people out there are thrust into situations they ahve no control over and make the best of what they're given. But I feel like I'm supposed to do so much more, the sense of failure of squandering so much and of continuing to just 'screw it up' is so profound for me.
Here I can see that your equating your self-esteem, your value, with what you do in life.
I am guilty of this too, I think we are all to a certain extent. As we get older I think this mindset dissolves naturally but.
You talk about other people....don't worry about them. You are YOU! don't compare...you have your road in life, they have their's.
Practice these ideas, see how they feel.....
when you 'screw-up', if you feel you do....say 'so what'!!!

> Zyprexa has helped for sure, and the low dose abilify is on top to prevent weight gain, which it has done.I would never advise using an antipsychotic to prevent weight gain. With weight gain, I would try the obvious first- diet and exercise. After a while, if the weight is still posing a big problem, then try some other agents.
But this business of using an antipsychotic to mask the weight gain of another antipsychotic....I just personally feel you may be having more problems 'cause of this. Abilify is noted to cause akathisia at even low doses.
> Wellbutrin is the primary a/d, and i'm taking 600mg. It got me out of the deepest pit so it is staying.How long have you been on this for?
Have you tried Carbamazepine?
Who is currently handling your pharmacotherapy?
Shrink, or a GP?
