The psychosomatic issues are usually brought on by the strange wirings in one's head. The need for more attention, the fear, the anger...all of that comes from one's brain, intentionally or not. And surely, those who aren't intentionally doing it need help, just as much as those who are intentionally doing it. If someone is intentionally coming off as a poor pity me, attention-whore, always sick, etc. person, wouldn't YOU think he or she was in need of some mental help? |

this is tolal BS |
I've been involved with a few women who were true Bipolar (hey, when they are in the right part of their cycle, they are sex machines). The single biggest problem I can attest to is that it's very hard to get someone who is in an "up cycle" to go on the correct meds, because who wants to take meds which will dull all the "up" stuff? Then, they crash, and it's touch to get them to take the proper meds because they are so "down". Bipolar disorder needs to be dealt with usings proper meds (one woman I saw tried to claim she was using one of the diet aids - ephedra based - to control it. I couldn't find one doctor who agreed with this course).

It will amaze you the stuff that is written in these books. There is a wealth of information in there. Anyone can take advantage of these protocals. It all boils down to trying to make the body clean and pure. It is no coincidence that we have the highest rates of cancer and are in the most industrialized era of the world. Trust me big companies are killing us and making tons of money doing it. I am not trying to go all green peace and hippie on you but the food we eat and water we drink is killing us along with thousands of other problems

I agree that there are too many people who reach for the happy candy ever time they feel sad. If only it were that simple for everyone, but it isn't. Exercising more doesn't cure an overabundance of seratonin, for example. I don't know why you think it would. You should not be attacking people who are trying their best to deal with clinical depression dude. As to situational depression like I had, that is the one where there is the most if not ALL of the abuse and laziness you're describing, and that's where you and I agree. I can only speak for myself and from what I've seen in other cases I know of. For me it worked, my doctors all thought I legitimately needed it for a time, and I've long-since moved on with life. |

everyone seems on some kind of antidepressant drug these days. if you have a serious mental problems, of course drugs can help. but if are depressed because you have a shitty job or a fat ass, you don't need drugs. |

ANYTHING can be a trigger. I can cry over the fact that my cat just meowed. I'm serious. I have a lot of stressors going on right now, but honestly, I don't find myself depressed as deeply as I used to get. I can see the bright instead of the dark now. It's very difficult to say what triggers my mood swings. Sometimes it's even the lack of a trigger that becomes a trigger. There is no one thing, Dark Jedi. |

In your case, I'd stay on the meds if you think it makes you feel better, if that's what YOU feel is right. However, you started a thread asking the question how to cope; meaning you're not sure if your current path of therapy is the right way. And judging from what you just wrote (if I'm wrong, forgive me), your mental state predates pubescence and is caused by early life trauma (in one way or another; upbringing / environment, etc.). In either case, all it may take is coming to terms with something horrible. Admitting it happened / apologizing to someone who caused you harm, voicing out loud things that wholly bind your soul into tension may help. Again, I know not your situation or where you've been or are at. It's just my $.02. |

Though I personally feel that you're just overreacting, getting too fixated on it and just pitying yourself. Posting on gfy - you sound very rational and mentally stable. I don't believe a trully sick person can act this way. Therefore, i think you're not sick (just need to accept reality for what it is) |

But that's behind me now. I have talked about it and worked through some things, made my peace with some and am working on making peace with myself. I miss my grandmother very much - for all intents and purposes, she was my mom. Thank goodness for her. Longer story short, I'll be dealing with that for the rest of my life, I'm sure. There are some things that time doesn't heal. |

Oh believe me, I have plenty of serious things to worry about. But occasionally, the lack of a trigger is a trigger, though now I am starting to recognize it and prevent it. Hooray for therapy! |

I can tell you that mental problems come from inner energy imballances. And can be treated without drugs. |

I may well be overreacting and pitying myself. But honestly, I don't feel as though I'm doing either one. I feel like this is just the way I live - my version of reality. I'm still learning what it means to accept things as they are, or to change things that I don't want. I'm not as sick as some, thankfully, but I am sick enough to need help. So I'm getting it. I may never fully heal, but I am getting better. :) |

Again, I think you can find solace without drugs. But you're reading words from a kid who's mom refused to feed him Ritalin and instead took out sugar, food coloring and preservatives from his early diet and thus fucked him out of wanting to eat yummy candy like his wife loves to eat. *shrug* and a *smile*. So again, my outlook on drugs to treat many psychosomatic / psychological disorders is biased. |

It's a complicated issue to discuss because of the two distinct types. On one side you have people who are afflicted with certain brain imbalances and disorders who need treatment, while on the other side you have a few people who have a legitimate problem surrounded by millions who choose to abuse and rely on the drugs when they could very well otherwise cope just by changing their lifestyles and mindsets. |

As much as I would love to honestly say, "Hell yes, I'd do it!" I know for a fact that I wouldn't stay on it. Why should I lie to myself just to bring myself more pain? So yes, I'd still want to eat sweets. If it cured me, hooray! I'd go celebrate with cake and ice cream. :disgust There are some steps that I know I'm not ready to take yet, and that's one of them. Maybe I'll get there someday, but right now, I'm not yet ready for a step that big. Baby steps first, then walking, then running. :) |
I'm tripolar
Well, definitely bipolar... even though I've never been officially diagnosed. I know that I am. I have all the symptoms. My original handle was actually "moody". All I know is that I go from extreme highs to lows on a daily basis and anything can trigger a certain mood. I get really happy and "high on life", euphoric even, for a very short period of time, then something usually something really insignificant will make me cry and I'll be depressed for the rest of the day. The thing is, I don't feel my depression is just a chemical imbalance. There really are underlying causes/reasons for the way I feel and think. I just don't bounce out of it or ignore it like a lot of people would. My problem is I can't stop thinking. I remember too much and dwell on things too much. They say ignorance is bliss, so I think "normal", happy people just don't remember why their life sucks lol. Anyway, I'm against any and all mind altering medications. Whether it's Prozac or something stronger, I refuse to take any. I don't believe in taking most medicines. They are dangerous and usually end up causing worse problems than what you have already. I would rather go through life being moody than live in a cloud world or artifically change my mind. |

Drugs rarely cure any disease. However, drugs can save your life.
I don't believe in taking any drug, psychotropic or not, daily just to live. I would seek out a more holistic approach and try to determine the root cause of it. Pills can make you happy, but so can success by hard work and a stable meaningful life. Clearly the happiness in the former is not equal to the latter. Homeostasis and serenity doesn't come easy. I would think most people have no true desire or ambition to change their life and thus succumb to the notion that things will always be how they are. Personally I am disgusted by the concept of little kids on psychotropic drugs and doctors force feeding damaging chemicals to desperate patients while collecting kickbacks. If anyone knows anything about drug abuse, you'll know that psychotropic drugs are the most harmful and addictive known to man (i.e. barbiturates such as Xanax). I would highly suggest you watch the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know? It has many profound moments and illustrates clearly what addiction is while enlightening you to the true power you and your thoughts have. Stuart Hameroff (associate of Roger Penrose) is in it. The website is at: http://whatthebleep.com/scientists/ and the torrents are at: http://www.mininova.org/search/?sear...eep+do+we+know If you do take psychtropic drugs, you should definitely try to find time to watch the movie. Good luck. |

But if youre depressed without any reason you need. I have personality disorder (Schizotypic and paranoia) and without reason my mood changes within a second from "quit normal" to real depressed. I had prozac what stabilized it some, now i have risperdal for my semic pshychotic (hope this is right word) symptomes. Offcourse i can without meds, but then im a real horror for people i care about (if i care about anything when im depressed but okay). And yes, i do go out of the house, i do my job, i do walk a lot.. but it doesnt help shit... So no, not everyone needs meds, but some need them to make their life a little bit better.. Just my 2 cts.. Regards, Ron |
i just want everyone to be happy :)
happy happy joy joy |

On another note, I find it quite funny in a 'funny' sort of way that a lot of people (and I mean a LOT) tend to drown their sorrows with alcohol, which is a depressant.
