Close Bipolar Disorder
After being diagnosed a couple of years ago, I battle with my mind every day. I've tried more than one med, but feel like a zombie and have chose to self medicate instead of using presribed meds. My family tries to understand, but its hard to find the words to describe when your own mind doesn't even make sense to yourself. I know I need help, but don't know what to do. Some days, I feel like I can battle this alone...other days I can't even get out of bed to begin trying to face the battle.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Been on this med for about 2 months now. It seems to be working ok, not great, but ok. At least I'm motivated a little more now.
- Depakote Not Working
- Major weight gain.
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- I've only been on this med for a little over 3 months. So far so good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
- Lithium Not Working
- I actually didn't give this a chance. I took it for a month and a half, and didn't feel any different. After my next doctors visit, I was told I hadn't taken the drug long enough to see its effects.
- Seroquel Not Working
- If anything I felt way more depressed on these pills. All I wanted to do was eat and sleep. They knocked me out about 20 mins after dosage and I always felt like I had a "hangover" when I woke up...not to mention the CRAZY, vivid dreams.
Close Eating Disorders
I don't know what it is called...besides being fat? I've been fat all my life, and binged since I can remember.
Open Depression
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type II, and unfortunately, that means depression is also a part of life for me. So many problems...so little time.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- I haven't been to theropy for over a year, but hope to go back soon.
- Seroquel Not Working
- Just made me sleep more, eat more, and therefore gain more weight.
- Writing Working / Worked
- I write poetry, rhymes, stories, and just ramble on in general. I do love to write and sometimes it does feel like it helped when I'm finished.
