In reply to Help me cope.., posted by yellowbird01 on March 14, 2012, at 16:36:50
To be frank, I take one of my as needed Risperdal for as long as I need. Coping mechanisms are well and good, but they aren't always sufficient. Once the worst of the physical problems of meltdown are in hand, it's easier to use coping mechanisms for the rest.
I also do a few effective but (in the long run) unhealthy distraction methods. I get obsessed with something. It could be endless games of Bejeweled or Drop Seven. It could be shopping. It could be getting all worked up about a news story. Or I fall asleep.
But Risperdal is more helpful to me than all the rest.
I remember you well, Yellowbird. I'm sorry you're having a hard time right now.
