It's nice to know that there are people out there who suffer from this like I do. It's hard for me to talk about but I came across this site through the Ottawa Citizen, and the posts you guys have written, in a way, ease the pain. It gives me hope that I will get better, hopefully sooner than later.

Something I try when I'm really angry is riding my exercise bike. I'm lucky enough to have one passed down to me from my grandmother, and sometimes it works. Other things I do when I'm angry or upset is go on my computer and look for reasons why, or just watch The Simpsons (on DVD) and laugh.

My experience in depression:

1. enough dose of Prozac and correct medicines.
2. spiritual support. Like reading Bible, listening to preaching and taking part in a meeting of Church, coming here etc.
3. Messianic Faith would help me.
4. social support , like taking a walk with somebody.
5. sports. Like Ping-Pong or billiards
6. caring about others, like visiting an Elder’s Family
7. study or work for something, like cooking or shopping
8. When I am too upset to study or work I can watch TV and listen to music at least
9. before it gets worse ask for help.
10. good relationship with my parents and praying for my intending bride.

Happy Mother's Day all Mothers!

I've noticed that whether I'm riding one of those amazing high's or suffering that crippling low, my mind is always in high gear.
For me, taking the time to step back and take a deep breath, helps me to work with the world and the people around me.
It is also less painful.

Nikki:

Sometimes Jesus heals through medication. He uses Drs and Nurses to minister to the sick and provide them with reasonable lives. I'm not saying he won't provide a complete healing for you. But until he does get some meds, okay?

In my life Jesus has provided a partial healing. I was on the same drugs I am on now but I was sleeping 14 hours a day. No life for a mom with 2 kids. I was prayed on and now I sleep a reasonable amount most days. When I am depressed I sleep a bit more but I am not depressed most the time. PTL.

I tend to religious delusions, and if you feed me religious anything, be it the Bible or a Joyce Meyer book, it'll usually make me delusional...

For me...

No noise. Or bright lights. Or strong smells. Or sensory input of any kind, really. Senses are bad. <Maybe it's cause senses can deceive me? I dunno.>
Coloring
Dance Dance Revolution - on hypomanic days when I can handle it
Getting online
Bubble bath with good book
Swinging
comfort food (although I'm likely to only eat part of it)
ebay (that's SO dangerous)
Force myself to stay in my bed a minimum of 5 hours whether I want to or not
Keep a mood chart

I don't tend towards the depressed. I get manic as all get out, crash to a horrid mixed state from hell, and oscillate back and forth from there until restabilized. So mine are based more on mania control for me. :dunno:
i TOTALLY relate to you!!!!!!!!!!!
I have all the delusional Bible thoughts stuff...
I just had a weekend as a maid of honor and have been pulled and stretched beyond what I can handle..
Having really paranoid thoughts lately...
No insurance, job, but do have family.

Baths are awesome!
see my recent "frustrated" post..
