Support Groups
Close Bipolar Disorder
I was diagnosed with bipolar_manic in 1999-2000 at after spending a week in a mental hospital for suicidal contemplation. After a car/truck accident in June 2001, I was rediagnosed as bipolar_depressed. The car accident changed my chemical balance.
Treatments
- Abilify Working / Worked
- Im on Abilify now and its working well.
- Depakote Somewhat Helpful
- It helped me before my accident, but I reccomend trying Trileptal if you can take that instead. It worked better for me.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- If I concentrate on other things in my life, it helps me forget so much about my bi polar and concentrate on what else matters to me.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Im still bipolar now, but I pray every day for it to lessen and get easier as my days go by.
- Risperdal Not Working
- I took Risperdal for 4 Years it worked well until I began having psychotic episodes while taking it.
- Trileptal Working / Worked
- I like the generic form of Trileptal better than the brand name, I think it has a longer lasting effect.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- I took Wellbutrin for a while, but had switched to another med b/c it wasn't working effectively over time.
Close Brain Injury
Survived a car/truck accident June 10, 2001 and received a closed head injury as a result along with a broken arm! I've gone through extensive therapy, but am still unable to work. Maybe that will change one day, maybe it won't. We'll see what hapepens over time.
Treatments
- Depakote Not Working
- I tried taking Depakote after my brain injury and became allergic to it. I started to get hives.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Ive made miraculous progress so far in my recovery, if I'm able to fully recover ever.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- With my brain injury, it helps to keep busy, keep doing something besides sitting at home twiddling my thumbs thinking what if this or what if that.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI was diagnosed with bulimia nervosa when I was a senior in high school, but wasn't willing to go through the proper treatment to heal myself then. I now want to be healed, but am unsure of how to go about it with crappy insurance.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- I went to a few group sessions, but didn't talk much so it didn't help much b/c of that.
- Outpatient Treatment Program Somewhat Helpful
- I suffered from bulimia nervosa instead of bulimia b/c of all the readings I was doing, but it did help sorta set my mind straight. but since car/truck accident have forgotten/lost all my info about it.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- counseling did help then...even though I wouldn't admit to needing the help back then.
- Support from Friends & Family Considering
- my mom didn't want to accept that I needed the help, but then did and seemed ashamed that I had a problem.
- Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
- Im taking generic Zoloft now for bi-polar. Should I not be taking it?
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Its helping slowly but surely. It will take time I understand, but its helping for sure.
- Keeping Busy Working / Worked
- If I keep out of the kitchen and away from food and snacks it helps me forget the eating disorder I had years ago.
Open Self-Injury
I was diagnosed bipolar in 1999, but have been cutting myself since high school in 1994.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It has helped the day I go in, but afterwards it leaves my mind.
- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking and venting out always helps me calm down and stop thinking about it, at least for a while.
