What is my life

I know what you're saying. Thanks bro.

 

Well thanks!

 

I think it might have been the little tassels in the photo that is throwing some people off.


You seem to have a pretty good handle on much of what you are posting about.

Change always happens as we grow and find what matters to us, I think you may just be starting a period of change.

That can be a really positive thing to do, if you want to see it that way.

I think you will.

 

Thank you. I guess I'll look at it that way. And yeah, definitely the tassles... right...

 

sorry, advice


staying on your meds and staying away from drugs and alcohol sounds like a good idea. for some folks, a little bit of drugs and alcohol is not a big deal, but if you have a serious mood disorder like bipolar, best to stay away from these things.

getting your meds adjusted sounds like a good thing if you are feeling unhappy.

some people tend to do things like go completely off of their meds, which usually results in disaster.

You might want to get acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine. this might allow you to gradually lower the amount of medication you are on. this should only be done in consultation with one prescribing your medication though.

if you want to hang on to your bf but are unhappy with the relationship, working on communication is important. Maybe you can just tell him that you want to stay with him but that you feel disconnected

 

Yeah I'm definitely not about to go off of my meds. I would never do that. But I am probably going to try herbal meds or something sometime soon. I've tried talking to my bf but I think I'm just gonna see how things play out within the near future. Thanks for your advice

 

:2thumbsupc_love you are awesome!

I think you could be the new Laura_May!:dizzy2:

 

Haha uhh I don't know what that means, but thanks!

 

oc-although I do not suffer from "bipolar disorder/eating/drug issues and such", I do suffer from depression/anxiety issues. I have been on an array of meds over the last 10-15 years. I have changed and tweaked my meds many times, as I'm sure you have as well. It is a thoughtful suggestion, but my guess is it took a long time and hard work to reach the combo of meds you are on now.

Far from perfect, yes, as we know there is no such thing as a magic pill.
What I am trying to get at is you currently have a combo that is working for the underlying symptoms. I'm not suggesting you remain with this combo forever, but rather suggesting that tweakage right at the moment might not be a great thing. It seems as though you are thinking clearly, and I'm going to guess that has not always been the case.

I've reached the point where my meds seem to be doing the job they were meant for. The sad reality is that is can't leave the mind and soul a bit numb and do a heavy duty job on my emotions. Like leaving me with very little emotion- good or bad. It is frustrating, but comforting at the same time.
I say talk to your doc which I'm sure you have a zillion times, and maybe set up some future gameplan that will allow you to get that zest back. That is what my doc and I are discussing, but we are in NO rush but hopefully one day I can be med-free or reduced quite a bit.

I'm not sure about your "recreational" drug/alcohol usage, but we both know it's best to keep that at a minimum.

Side note-you are a gorgeous young lady and I hope you see that when you look in the mirror.

As far as the boyfriend-dump him just so undies has to read every word in this thread. lol

Best of luck with everything.

 

Thanks for all of the advice I read it all, don't worry I'm not just saying that and thank you for the compliment

 

Sorry-I did not mean to be so long-winded or in any way sound preachy, but thanks for reading.

 

Well, my boyfriend and I broke up today. It was mainly because of how bad my paranoia about him was getting. It's okay though, I'll live. I guess I just have to move on. I won't deny how upset I am, but I guess it's all for the best.

 

I can’t see how any guy in his right mind could leave you three alone



Hotwater :blush5:

 

Haha ohhh you.

 

how were you paranoid about him?

maybe you'll be able to fix things later on if that is what you want

 

I was just constantly feeling the need to ask if he wanted to break up because I thought he wasn't happy anymore. Maybe someday it'll work out. He said that too. But I don't know.

 

it could be that all you need is a break


and maybe you can connect with him better out of a relationship than in one

 

oh hi. i didn't see you there before.

 

I think this is an old guy wanking into a flannel and you guys just gave him some wank fodder
