I have many issues (Borderline, SAD.. Social Anxiety, Bipolar, as well as various mood disorders.. along with an eating disorder, but I'd rather not talk about it.) I often have a hard time sleeping. I stopped taking my medicine because I don't like it. I want to help MYSELF.. I don't want to have to take 6 pills 3x a day or whatever.. I don't WANT that.. I want to control my own life.. and I won't be able to do that with pills unless I want to take them for the rest of my life (and I DON'T...) so I decided to try it without the pills.. and I have to say.. I haven't cut since early March and the thought of suicide is now appalling. (I attempted it 3 times).. So my advice to you is to stop being the victim and take control over your depression.. in the long run, no psychiatrist, no pill, and no program can help you... only you can help yourself.  |

I suffer from an eating disorder. Today alone I ate once. That was at 7:00pm. Its very hard to conquir these things. Right now I feel like throwing up everything I ate. Only because I didn't eat enough today. My stomach is tied in a knot and I can feel it aching. I just wanna die right now. This is killing me and I am trying very very hard to conquir it but I am having a lot of trouble with it. My doc doesn't know about this yet tho. She thinks I stoped being anerxioc a year ago. Yes I did stop, but some how its comming back to me. I don't purposely not eat, I just don't. Its like I don't even notice I am not eating, which is the scary part. I didn't notice till 6:45 that "omg sarah what where you thinking? YOU HAVEN'T EATEN AT ALL TODAY!!!!" So yes I can say I suffer from a eating disorder called Aneroxia.  ~*Sarah*~ NOTE: If anyone who reads this is thinkin about becoming aneroxic, PLEASE don't! It leads to a life time of troubles and once your hooked, its soooooo hard to turn back!!! So PLEASE, take it from me, aneroxia is a killer and you DON'T wanna get yourself involved!!  |

I get scared easily, I also cry alot, and I don't sleep very well.. I've been very depressed lately too.. Then again, I was also unofficially diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, so blah. Sounds like you're not very well off.. I hope you can somehow get your prescription quicker. Take care..  |

I am type 1 bipolar. I have severe mood swings, depression, anxiety, and massive anger. I am on a new prescription. Talk to your doctor about it. It is an anti convulsant, but 2 days in and already I feel different. (a bit woo woo out there) but good. DEPAKOTE. It literally changes your brain to numb certain parts that cause seisures. I guess that ALSO that part of your brain is also linked very closely to anger, depression and anxiety. And don't worry, I slept like a rock last night. 8 solid hours! LOL  |

Rika, I wish that statment were true. But unfortunately, in my case, I CANNOT control it myself. I am out of control. I do things I never would do in a clear state of mind. My Father is a paranoid scitophrenic. A few docs think I just may be as well. *Thanks Dad* |

I've only dealt with it for a lifetime... lol it comes and goes in severity for me over these thirty something years... sometimes life is bearable, and might I say enjoyable... other times it is like I am standing still and life whips around me with furvor and fury, and I feel a speck lost in the whirl!!! Let me suggest that you MAKE yourself do some basic things, and in turn it will reduce the depression and what not a bit... DRINK TONS of water, MAKE yourself eat what is considered sensible mealS. (notice the multiple on the meals). And if you cannot sleep, read about what is out there in the world, try and focus on some good, but MAKE yourself see that the world is a huge place, and you are a part of this whole... I wish you well  I know it is tough.!!!!  |

I've been through depression and am still going through it. It sucks. It also runs in my family. I used to have it really bad where I was suicidal all the time. I was on paxil for a while. Then I stopped taking it after I couldn't afford it or something. I think that I should go back onto it. It helped me. I find myself crying to myself a lot. I hate it.  |

While I'm not officially diagnosed and most likely never will be, I think I have either, or possibly both. I've got all the symptoms at least. -  |

Pink Bunny, I used to feel that I could not control myself. I would burst out in anger on everyone and sometimes thought of homicide (scary, yes.) It really scared me alot because I felt OUT of control. Like nothing would help me. I was so depressed that my social worker labeled me a "hopeless case" (he said it jokingly in a group therapy session but then I "accidentaly" read my weekly report.. he was serious.).. my doctors were baffled as to why they kept upping my doses and I seemed to get worse and worse. My last suicide attempt was in February when I overdosed on painkillers because I felt that no one cared anymore.. fortunately, it wasn't enough to kill me and instead, I was just extremely sick for the next 4 days. I also currently suffer from an eating disorder and I REALLY REALLY don't like talking about it, but even though I often feel IN CONTROL, I am SO out of control. As far as my depression and SAD goes, one day, I just got out of bed, said to myself "I CAN DO THIS." and went to school (big step for me) I went EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE (March-the end of the year) and it was HARD at times, but I pushed myself. I've since stopped taking the medicines and stopped going to therapy.. I recently stopped by the hospital to pick up my coat that I left there and I thought to myself.. "I'm glad to be out of that hell." For me, I think the therapy, pills, and hospitalization made everything worse.. it made me feel like a victim and prevented me from getting better on MY OWN. Good luck, PB. *hugs and healing vibes* |
