The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Unsweetened orange juice? They gave me apple juice in those small plastic containers that you peel the top off, the juice was mostly frozen.
They don't want me on anything, the doctor doesn't trust me. He also thinks I may be bipolar with high mania phases, but y'know, these same people claim a hyperactive six year old has ADHD when it's just a six year old being well. A child with energy. He wants me back on Seroquel but I refused it because I'm allergic to an ingredient and even told him so.
I told him I didn't want to be on the Lexapro because it messes with my head and I feel irritable or dead on it and not the, "I feel so dead, I could sleep." but dead as in, "...Do I still have a pulse?" sorta thing. Welbutrin is great buuut insomnia is a common side effect, but I may just go back on that and bug for Lunesta or something. I'll find out tomorrow.

I'm no lover of psych medications either but we do need them at times. To be deadish for some time for awhile can be very beneficial because a lot of crap disappears while we go through such stages. Though I know it feels terrible at the time. Tegretol made me feel very sluggish as well, though after 12 months it had reduced a lot.
To get your sleep restored should be priority though, no matter how much drugs they put into you, without sleep you are not going to get any better. Tegretol was very good for that, I slept like a rose every night for 10 hours straight that was bliss at the time because I had been depraved of sleep for years before I went on them.
Hoping they do something positive for you

freaked. i gotta pay something and a spider is like right on my checks.
it's not an overreaction to burn down the entire apartment complex, right? Spiders send me into that panicked, frozen mode and this one is huge and my cat is an awful hunter.

I feel low. Maybe I need to take more Prozac, but it costs much, and I don’t want to rely on it more. I nearly want to apply to the government to increase the handicapped degree (from level 4 to level 3), so that I can get some money every month. My handicapped degree is really as serious as level 3.
Very Glad now I can view this website. May God bless you all!

I understand. I had to break for a few months a couple of years ago. I cheated a little, though. I didn't post but I did lurk periodically. Will miss you. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

I slept only 5 hours last night and am having a bad day. I got a head ache right now and wish I could sleep a little - feeling rather overwhelmed right now.
How to calm down to catch some sleep? I wish I knew right now.

I'm doing ok, battling a headache not sure if its sinus or regular tension regardless my cough med's give me a under-line type headache (not full blown pounding) I normally feel. But least my coughing reduced tremendously. Slept good last night although was warm then cold we had to kick the heat on now the a/c is on supposed to be in the 90s today. Still waiting on a washer to get here, was to be here yesterday but due to Columbus day a lot of people were off, including my SO who was home all day but wound up fixing the truck and victory! It works! *happy dance* So I hope the washer shows up this afternoon, they say they're short on trucks or a driver so we'll see.

What have they put you on?
Seroquel. Even after I told them I can't take it because I'm allergic/harder to breathe. I'm not getting it filled.

I hope you are getting some rest in the mean time? Or are things still cycling fast? Are your thoughts calming? How dark are your thoughts?
I had a real scare yesterday, my anxiety levels just went through the roof and left me all panicky. It wasn't until later in the evening that things calmed down again. It was rather scary and intriguing at the same time. To see how I go, totally unable to stop anything from happening, events just take over for a bit, I felt so sick, it totally paralysed me.
Luckily I got some help along the way, The Lord is good for me, I love Him a lot.

my father does not agree that I apply to the government to increase the handicapped degree (from level 4 to level 3), he hopes I can be better through training of recovery and medicine. He thinks I need not get some money every month from the gov. , he can support my life and all his money is left for me.What a good father. He worries several years later without him and my mother (now they are old and not healthy)how I can live by myself.
I would like to be better for the glory of the Lord. In the Name of Lord Jesus Christ I need to learn living firmly and supporting the family. Devils can not harm me.
Wish you all a blessed day!
