What a wonderful gift a loving couple could possibly receive than to be able to adopt a child that comes from this situation. Pregnancies are not mistakes. Actions surrounding pregnancies may well be, however.

Do you take the day off of work on President's Day, even though no presidents were born on that day? Do you celebrate the 4th of July every year even though Independence Day happened just once and not every year since 1776? Do you change a calendar every 12 months, even though that calendar...

Everything I know and have read lists Personality Disorder as a mental illness, including NAMI and NIMH. I do understand what you are saying and I do understand Axis I and Axis II. If it has been relabeled as something else and not under the Mental Illness label then I guess that is a good...

Not knowing much about the situation, I will pray for her safety. Knowing about child psychotherapy, it is not something that can work after talking to a child one time. It takes time to snake into their minds to extract what it is that is causing them to have this kind of terrible behavior...

I am down with that. People forget about that side of the 80's. Agent Orange, Misfits, Social Distortion, Ramones, Bad Brains, Dead Kennedy's, Adolescents, Minor Threat, etc... Mind you, not many are very in-tow with a Christian message but it is good aggressive sound and that is what I can...

You should not listen to your friend when that person tells how you need to be a Christian. Find your own way and your own path to God. You will find the experience that much more fulfilling. I am Christian and I am not really that much across-the-board Christian music because of the feel...

I can agree with a head injury opening up BiPolar that was always there but I am not sure if it is possible that BiPolar is contagious by a clonk on the noggin, especially if there is no genetic history in your family of BiPolar. Either way, I hope your head is ok. (:

I thought that at first, too. It is potentially dangerous and unhealthy to diagnose until the teens at a minimum and if there is not a genetic history of BiPolar then it is unlikely for someone to just start having it. Speedy, when did you start your medication? Have you altered it at all...

I hope all things are going well for you and your family. I did not know someone can be fired for mental illness. In Ohio believe that is the law. If you disclose your mental illness to your HR representative, they cannot fire you just because you have that illness. That being said, I should...

If I might ask, who are the people who told you what you experienced was a revelation from God? Do you feel that it is or are you now hounded by what they said it was that you take on some kind of burden because of it? I have been on medication for coming up on 8 years now and still haven't...

Madison, it is not that easy. One is blinded with mental illness. Their faith is sometimes out of their control and it gets lost within the neurotransmitters that fire inside our minds that get us out of whack. One can populate their faith but when an "episode" or at certain triggered events...

I second that.

I know someone who has quit for about a decade now and they have carried the same unopened pack of smokes with them for years after. She said it gives her comfort knowing that she has them with her but she has never opened it until one day she realized she did not need them anymore and tossed...

While I do not know if these words can technically be considered a contradiction, it is something I have thought about in the past and again here lately. It has always been something that I think, given the three different passages, can have very different responses when pondering which one was...

Anxiety is a ridiculous thing at times. I have very bad social anxiety and can relate with what you are saying about stability in the church you attend. That is why I have had a hard time finding the right "fit" in the past because I never really felt welcomed anywhere I went and it was hard...

I have had Seroquel, Klonopin, Lamictal and Lithium all at once. Now I am on Lamictal and Lithium and the benzo Klonopin when needed for anxiety. Seroquel turned me into a zombie. No fatigue, though. I am sure it is possible for some people to be affected differently, whether it be...

Yep. It has been known to cause Hallucinations for those who take it. I have them a lot. No Yetis yet, though. Well, I guess that can be a side effect. Hallucinations, not Yetis.

Best wishes that it all works through and is completely healthy for mom and babe.

That is very true. For me, I walk around every day with chapped/dry lips from the Lithium. It is a welcomed trade off.

The Bill of Rights to the Constitution of the United States are not something you can just "take away". 1) You need 2/3 majority vote from Congress. 2) You 3/4 vote of the States (38 of them). The 2nd and 4th Amendments are not going anywhere, no matter what the media says.
