      From clarncejonesnks March 19

      I would like to tell you a little bit about me, ok. I worked for the city of San Diego, Calif. for 20 years in parks & recreation...then I wanted to move to were I was born, In Kansas. I got a job working for the city of Leawood, Ks. for about 2 years in parks & recreation. Then my bipolar condition became so bad I had to quit. I've been on diabilty since then...for nearly 10 years. Now I'm looking for part time employment in a less stresed job. I just hope I can do it. Right now I'm manic and have been so for 12 days now. I've been channeling myself into making new friends on DS. I've made 134 new friends in the last 12 days...WHEW!!! Being manic right now, it seems that I can't stop making new friends. I like doing this to fight off my lonliness and depression. I'll tell you a bit more about me later, ok. Clarence ps I live in Marysville, Ks.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have GAD and OCD, plus some Depression and anger management issues. Currently use 50mg zoloft and counseling. Decided I was doing so well that I no longer needed medication and stopped abruptly. WRONG!. Compensated with Alcohol and ended up in trouble. Working my way back now. VEry sensitive to meds. Minimal dose of Ativan knocked me down fo 24 hours.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Zoloft mellows me out some, but I still have anxiety out of proportion to events. Doing counseling also.
    • Close Stress Management

      I have functioned pretty well most of my life, but made a big mistake combining alcohol with meds and had a psychotic episode that got me in a lot of trouble. I have anger management issues, along with anxiety, some depression, some compulsive disorder, and perhaps bi-polar.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Helps, but I am so sensitive to all mood meds that I can't take much. 50 mg a day, just added Lamictal starter dose.
      Lamictal Working / Worked
      Added Lamictal to my Zoloft and am doing well.
    • Open Depression

      Struggling with depression, anxiety, obssessive, and perhaps bipolar. Dropped meds suddenly and added los of alcohol. Got in a lot of legal trouble. Working my way out.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Helpful, but not enough. Just started Lamictal in addition.
    • Open Alcoholism

      Drank for years, mostly socially, but abouta 3 times a year I drank to black out. Then I started drinkning larger amounts more often and having some embarrassing nights, which graduated to very serious trouble causing nights, to finally got so in trouble that I had to face facts. Joined AA and did Alcool Abuse Counseling. Staying clean one day at a time.

      Treatments

      12 Step Program Working / Worked
