Posted by tepiaca on August 27, 2006, at 0:15:42


Im just wondering if you people with all your meds can have same kind of days. I mean not ups
and downs but a regular mood all days.

I dont like I have such s downs like today. I feel like crap. Im here closed in my room. Thinking what kind of lofe is this. Saturdat nigth
and I am here alone. No one calls me. No friends
I work very bad toda, a lot of fear also. Suicide ideas return sometimes. I dont like this ups and downs. I have written a lot of times in a paper, when I fell kindof fine , " ey I feel very good now", but now I read it and it does not helpe me
Im hopeless. This disease is terrible I havent learn to control it in 10 years.

Just wanna have a regular mood, no more downs. I feel very bad in this moment. why ?

There's always hope, even if you can't see it. And its not a disease -- you can't take some penicillin and get rid of it.

If it's been with you so long, you're feeling bad because your genes and probably your "environment" have conspired against you and probably even got you working for them against yourself. That's why you need allies -- to take the fight back to them.

Meds can help. They fight your genes for you. Talk therapy can help. That helps you fight your environment and even can help identify what meds you need. The two of them together can help you get back on your feet and do some fighting of your own.

Your down days aren't going to disappear. But yeah, the idea is to be able to be steady, to experience regular highs and regular lows, but be pretty even overall. And to have that line where "pretty even" is get better and better as best you can.

And yes, to answer your question, I can. Most of the time I can do better than that. Some of the time I can't. But most of the time I can. And that's a Very Good Thing (tm).

So you can't accept your life and you hate it?

Some people close to me have committed suicide. There's nothing like it, it's so awful. I admit there's something very attractive about suicide.....voting with your feet. But from the receiving end it tears a hole in your world.

Tepi, life sucks, it's very very hard for some people, which is one reason why we should be compassionate. And when we despair, that is one reason to have courage, if not faith.

It's a life's work to surround yourself with the people you want to be with, whether they are like minded people or not.

Tepica, I'm not telling you to commit suicide at all. I don't know you. I'm not going to go there right now...

However, I hate when people criticize those who contemplate or go through with ending their life. If things are so bad, who are we to judge? Everyone says, think of the burden you're leaving on your family and friends. Well, think of the burden that life has on those who are suicidal?

I don't blame others or society in general for my problems. In fact, I blame myself, my brain which has been damaged since birth (for real), and my inability to handle stress to due my handicap.

I don't want to be alive right now. In fact, I haven't wanted to for quite some time. If I somehow, for some reason go through with ending my life, it will be on my own accord and it will be for the better. Sometimes I guess I'd like to give up and admit defeat.

Again, I'm not telling anyone to take their own lives. This is just where I personally stand on the matter. The battle isn't worth it for me, so I understand if others feel that way too.

After yesterday I started feel better. Then I ask
myself, am Im going up again? well yes today was a better day. I dont have suicide thougths. Clearer mind. More talkative, like at 50% of my capacity.
I just want to learn how to handle these downs
oh my god. I almost get locked in the kitchen afetr introducing a bed , take 25mg of Seroquel and 1mg of xanax, Then open the gas (CO2) to die while I was sleeping. I have not thougth on any other better way. Do u understand me?

I need to prevent from doing this. but this downs came very frecuently, sometimes are harder to pass like this last time.
How could I handle them. Lock in my house?
Downs means a lot a loto fear to people and a enormous depression , blaming my life and what I had done If I were a healthy person.

Tepi could you be bipolar? Just a thought. Love Phillipa in which case you need a mood stabalizer.

Hi Tepi,
Are you still taking Nardil? This med, like most antidepressants, must be taken on a regular basis. Some meds, like Xanax, can be taken on an "As Needed" basis to control anxiety and panic. I know that before you were having trouble with your supply of Nardil. It will not work for you if you take the drug intermittently. Somehow, you need to get a steady supply and find a dose that works for you.
If, after six or eight weeks at 75 or 90mg, the drug still doesn't work; you need to try something else. Augmentation with Nardil is very difficult, unless you have access to an expert in MAOIs. I know where you are coming from, I have been there. Hold on to the fact that there is some medication that will work for you.
Please be Well,
Jedi
