Hey didn't a lil while ago you say something about msn?
-
Hug
well I kinda think my piece may be uhhh horribly uninspiring. I mean I think something like music or any art that is created well should be inspiring to others ya know...i'm getting a little help with the song though :D so if it is terrible I suppose I can just look at as a fun experience [that's me trying to be positive lol]
-
Hug
If I actually create a worthwhile piece then I'll definitely post a video up so people can hear it [and see how crazily I play piano lol] if not you'll never hear it Lol :P

Support Groups
Close Narcolepsy
I have IH, not narcolepsy...but since symptoms and treatment are similar, I thought I would join the group here.
Treatments
- Provigil Somewhat Helpful
- Ritalin Too Soon to Tell
- I only started taking it today (10/22/07). It gave me a background headache rather quickly, but it wasnt unbearable. It did make me feel alert, so hopefully it will help as an augmentation to the Provigil.
- Xyrem Not Working
- It made me feel like I was overdosing on hard drugs every night.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've had recurrent major depression since I was 13, and didn't seek out treatment until I was 18. Now I'm just trying to keep my life on a straight path.
Treatments
- Abilify Not Working
- Geodon Not Working
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Seroquel Not Working
- Topamax Not Working
- I was unable to think when I took this. ...as a philosophy major I couldn't even write a paper on descartes...
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- This in combination with zoloft has worked best. I actually know what it's like to be content (most of the time...or at least some).
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- Zoloft Working / Worked
- Zoloft drastically changed my life for the better.
- Zyprexa Not Working

- Music Working / Worked

I spent a few years partaking in SI on a daily basis. Eventually I decided I wanted to change and it was doing nothing to help me, so I've been SI-free for 3 years or so.
Treatments

- Talking Working / Worked
- Nothing is better than a loving person to listen.
Open Sports Injuries
Type: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)I partially tore my ACL almost a year ago. I went to PT for a few months, but Dr.'s will not give me the surgery because my knee doesn't give out often enough. I actively snowboard and skate, and I was essentially told to return to the Dr. once I've torn it all the way through.

- Hydrocodone Working / Worked

Treatments

- I wouldn't be here were it not for the people that have patiently listened to me.
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts

- Talking Working / Worked
- Zoloft Not Working
