Okay people, I am starting to get a bit freaked out by this drug. I was just given a script to get it filled by my doc, since I am super sensative to alot of the mood stabilizing drugs. Apparently, this drug has very little side effects, although, as I am reading, there is a chance that your heart can just up and stop beating no matter how healthy you are, even if you never have had any side effects from a heard disorder or suffer from one. Okay, a bit scary. Anyone currently taking this med or has taken it in the past??? Please fill me in and give me your 2 cents. If there are other drugs out there that I may not be as sensative to, maybe I might need to forgo this one.

FYI: I am currently on Seroquel and Celexa. I have been on Depakote and Lamictal in the past as well as Risperdal, all three of which made me sick, very sick. Like I said, I am super sensative.

any friends, never having had a partner or a girlfriend, and in the present day, your very alone and lonely, and despair at night falling and the world going silent, because them horrible feelings intensify...and in the same breath its not easy to change my circumstances and access people because i have bpd, very low self esteem, feelings of unworthyness, which make it difficult to form friendships and relashionships and maintain them....because as soon as i do encounter anyone, i get clingy, needy, crave intimacy, struggle for conversation,& never feel good about who iam, this always shows itself, & people are frightened away from me...
im now 30 & have never been fullfilled in life in anyway, i dont have anyone except my mum, whos stood by me through everything, and im very acutley alone, lonely & isolated....the feeling is like being on your own, drifting in outer space, cold and alone forever and ever..unbearable..& yet i have dreams in life to i dont no how to reach, dreams of

A man & woman both 29 meet "fall madly in love" & move in together after 3 months.

Both college educated. Man works doing grounds maintenance (same job since high school)

Woman is a finance manager for a large company

Almost as soon as they start living together the man stops being romantic & becomes distant. Woman suggests they take some time apart man insists it's nothing woman stays.

Over the next year it gets worse The man barely touches the woman. She again suggests a split up. He says he will change he loves her very much and doesn't know why he doesn't want to be with her physically(it is not a physical problem)
She wants it to work so she once again stays. Nothing changes.
Finally she ends it they cohabit for 3 months while looking for new aptshe keeps saying he's not sure it should end & she is sad but knows it isn't working
he says maybe a year ago he lost physical feelings doesn't know why
now he is involved with a 20yr who is home on college break.

I'm 15 next month, for the past 4 years I have put up with my mentally ill mum, constantly shouting, picking on everything I do, moaning and arguing. Something to do with her condition means your not suppose to argue back, which I try hard not to do.

But I think its had an effect on me... I don't care for anything now, I don't care for anything or anyone. I told my dad last year.. he said "I don't know the answer" ... he was always against taking me to a doctor for some reason.. until yesterday when I told him I was planning on killing myself.

But now I don't feel anything would help me... I don't care anymore... I don't want to listen to a doctor telling me how I feel anymore... sure 6 months ago I would have thanked him for taking me... now I don't care. I'm giving it until Monday for something to improve. Ive got 60 aspirin and 200 paracetamol which I believe is enough.

I don't want to.. but I see nothing else to do.. does anyone know anyway I can somehow feel happy again?

bordeline personality disorder, and im full of bitterness rage and anger and resentment.....will people now see me as a lost cause, see me as a write off, a person to feel sorry for, and theyll reject me?
is this the reaction i should start to predict and expect from people and society as a whole, because they dont understand? and there minds will only be able to comprehend so much, and theyll instinctively distance themselves from a person like me?
im 30 now

(i hope you can read every word of this question, take it in, and understand 'thoroughly' what im saying)

Ok here are the symptoms...

1. This person has no remorse for ANYTHING
2. This person will go out of his way to get someone in trouble or hurt them....but for no reason at all
3. This person is obsessive over his boyfriends and never leaves them alone
4. If they reject him, he stalks them....and even tries to get in touch with them through their family
5. If he gets rejected by anyone at all....it's the same thing....he obsesses over it for weeks or months....and also tries to get them in serious trouble
6. He is rude to people, but abnormally rude....to everyone...for no reason
7. He is always trying to change, gets an idea, goes full force into it, then will just quit...

I'm sure there is more...
By the way, this guy is gay and his family will disown him if they find out.....

I really need to know what is wrong with him....

Sometimes i will comment a funny video on the internet, get distracted and i guess rewatch the video, or maybe i dont, but i will comment AGAIN without realizing i commented it 2 minutes ago.. i will have no memory of commenting it the first time and its a little freaky..

another example

i will text someone 'hey'
and they will text me back 'hey'
and i will text them again 'hey'
only to later find out, i started the conversation.. and i never remember texting them at all. i totally have no clue it has happened

im only 15 so its not coming with old age ;)

but what is this? is this short term memory loss?

sometimes when something happens to me, i guess i create a false memory.. even something like me tripping and falling on the ground, i might think that my cat had jumped in the way and i was trying to look up and i jit the wall with my foot or something totally ridiculous.. or maybe if i get fouled in soccer (football) i make up what really happened and i tell people what i think happened but really i made it up? i dont get it
why am i making up totally poinltless false memories?
is this just me? or are other people doing this?

this doesnt happen very often.. but when it does happen i cant go back and start telling ppl what really happened bc what i 'make up' becomes reality to me

My nephew was shaken by his a**hole father at the age of 2 1/2. At the time we din't notice any permanent damage done but he is now 8 years old and he is showing symptoms of Bipolar disorder. I have read up on the topic and everywhere that I have read it states that it most likely caused by a certain gene and they think it can be passed down. No one in my family has bipolar disorder and I was wondering if the damage was caused by him being shaken?

A package was delivered for my husband and it turned out to be a hand gun. He's an avid hunter and likes to shoot as a pastime. But right now he's fighting cancer and I've seen a "little out of it." I felt a gun was the last thing he needs. He's not as "with it" as he used to be with his illness. Was it wrong for me to be mad at the gun dealer for selling it to him and that he purchased it??? I was sooooo mad!

I seem to be depressed, even though I am truly happy.
I really have it all. I am sometimes overwhelmed by the beauty of my life, yet, I crumble over the smallest of my mishaps.

I work as a lifeguard in a day camp, and in one shift when I have pre-school and giving instruction, all the kids are in the water besides one. At first I thought he was scared of the water, but now I am starting to realize that he seems very distrustful of adults, if anyone goes near him he will back away. I wanted to see how he would react so I put my hand abosve his knee and he freaked out. I was talking to another life-guard who is a psych major and says he looks like he could be abused. But my other friend said he could be tactile defensive and overly sensitive to touch. Could it be abuse, and what should I do, since I am not in the position to do anything, but do not want to stand back if a child is being violated.

a shy child learns to stand up and be counted and earns a few success and you easily buy your veneer of confidence until you are an arrogant ah. and people complain and you really don't care until one day. one day you are alone. and older. i think bordeline personality disorder is the result of enviroment and conditions, do you? would like to hear from a witness not a theorist but i will grately accept all input. i just don't trust ordinary health care professionals. most, i find, are extremely abstract, prefer abstract and like pills no meaningful, insightful allegories and such. i am one who appreciates technical writing but you cannot explain emotions and humanity that way. exceptions to everyting, a first time for everything but i have crossed paths with such a thing. tell me a story.

If someone's depressed, isn't there a reason? Shouldn't they try to mend their lives instead of doping their brains into pretending to be happy?
