Hello again friends. It has been a few years. I was HaloGirl66. Or IndyMode. I can't remember. But I re-registered because I couldn't recover my old user info. I've had severe insomnia, ADHD, GAD & Migraines for years and am now going through a bipolar diagnosis. So hello again. -Mandy

Bonjour y'all. I feel like I know y'all a bit - long time lurker. I just wanna say that I have used this site to help me research and kinda navigate my way through the blissful path of personal awareness in my journey through crazyland. I have been very thankful to find great resources and opinions here. So, into the breach of introductions... I am a 32 y/o lady hailing from the great and dirtiest South, Louisiana. I've been a healer for over half my life, and a massage therapist for over a decade. I'm a (veerrry) small business owner working from home So that I can also care for my two magnificent children, one of whom is a tri-lingual, fencing super-nerd and the youngest of whom is the closest thing to a literal angel that I will ever know. I know.. Im biased but I don't lie! My youngest (5) is also a soldier in the battle against unwonted, rare disease called Mitochondrial Complex III Deficiency. She is not expected to survive adolescence. I share this information to promote awareness of her affliction and to give some glimpse into the muti-faceted gem of shit luck that contributes greatly to my episodes of mental illness exacerbations. Diagnosed borderline, major depressive disorder, schizoaffectve with just a dash of PTSD and DID to keep it fun. I did not seek help until the peak of my schizoaffective emergence, during which I attempted twice within a year. I've been off and on the pharmacopia and onlythis year did I see a counselor. Now, because I'm swimming in medical bills for prescription meds, supplements (that insurance sure as shit won't cover), shitty cars, doctors appointments, genetic tests....yeah, I'm broke as fuck and I am on Medicaid. The great state of Louisiana is kind of a clusterfuck of bad doctors, limited mental health resources, and waiting lists that last over 6 months....so my mental health options are severly restricted. So I'm finally deciding to say hi to all of you in the hopes that we can aquaint ourselves and, hopefully, I can find some sense of community because no one in Jesus country is really open to talking about mental illness unless its to call MI the side-effect of demonic possession. So howdy y'all!

Hello, I'm here to share my journey of getting (re)medicated with you guys. Wish me luck. (help!)

Yes, I just used a spongebob reference. Hi my name is Nelly. Well it's Janelle but I go by Nelly. Feel free to message me or just comment saying hello down below. I think I finally found a place where I belong. Hiiii

Hi. I'm not new, I just lurk around a lot. My life is in disarray, I'm the most depressed I've ever been, my hubby's in his 4th psych ward/hospital in 3 years. Before that, he was your ordinary, dual diagnosed, drinks too much kinda guy. No delusions. No psychosis. At 50, he just bugged out. More on this later. I am so ANGRY! I shouldn't be but I am. I resent being having to deal with pdocs and Psych social workers (OMG sooo clueless) and researching antipsychotics & SSRI'S & SNRI'S & so on & so on. I take 300mg of Wellbutrin 150 2 x daily, 4mg of Klonopin 2 mg at a time. I ALWAYS run out! A cut of 2 mg daily is not working out well...lol. It's almost a month but nothing. It worked before but I dunno... I'm frustrated, alone, and scared. Ok, I don't know where to post this,so here goes nothing. Invega - is anyone else on this and what do you think about it? Thanks in advance, Doe

So... I've had an account here for a while, I figured I should probably introduce myself to the endless void of code that makes up the internet. I don't really know what to say, I don't know why I'm here. I'm doing this during school, I'm surprised this site isn't blocked to be perfectly honest. I'm sad. That's pretty much all there is to it. I'm not happy for perfectly no reason, I have a good life, a good family, good friends, an education. I'm a typical white middle class girl. Dull as hell. I don't really know how these things go... I guess I should have read some introduction posts before I decided to write my own. I really don't know what to say, and I know no one will be reading this anyway, so I think I'm going to end this here.

Just thought I'd introduce myself... I'm a 25 year old female, diagnosed with bipolar II, and also have anxiety (generalized. Somewhat antisocial, also have PTSD from past trauma). I really have no support system as far as mental illness goes so I thought maybe joining an online forum may help. Other than my crazy, I enjoy reading, music, keeping up with current events, and I also love animals. I used to work at an animal rescue. So anyway; I'm bad with introductions. But I am happy to be here. Many blessings, peace and love to all.

Hello everyone... Just had to give my best Joey pick up line Anyway, I've been here several days, just now getting around to writing an intro. Sorry bout that... Uh, lets see... how can I talk about myself, but be vague enough to be private? I've been stalked before, so um, ya... sharing actual details is not my thing. I'm a woman approaching my 4th decade, living in the upper left corner of the US, I have several offspring (a couple of them teenagers- holy crap how did THAT happen?), a wonderful but equally neurotic boyfriend, I'm on the verge of working in the health care industry. Anyway, I've suffered from depression off and on most of my life, more on than off. I'm sure if I went to a doc, they'd also label me with Social Anxiety Disorder and probably General Anxiety Disorder. And if I told them, self-harm. I'm not currently taking any prescription meds, though I have in the past. I think they made me worse. So now I take 5HTP, some cortisol support, sometimes GABA when I need a little extra help, and vitamins (esp D). I'm also having severe stomach issues, and am anxiously awaiting my appointment with the doc. Before I end up rambling, I should call it quits for now... I'm planning on blogging a lot, so stop in sometime if any of you feel like it.... This is my first time joining a site like this, be gentle!

Hello. You can call me rotten, candy, pink, or the whole name. I will respond to any way you say it. This isn't my first time joining one of these forums, but this one by far appeals to me the most, I think. There's not much to say at the moment. I am doing pretty well, I am on disability leave from work and college and in semi-recovery. I might have to go into a day rehab clinic in February. Otherwise, we shall see how things turn out. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to meeting you!

Noob here. Did a google search on the latest anti-d I've been prescribed and found this place. 46, female, and I'm damn tired of feeling like shit. Off and on medication (currently on) since my early 20's. Off and on therapy (currently on) the same. Currently trying to get that magic mix of meds so I can consistently function. Had a magic mix that worked for a couple of years then all of a sudden the depression came creeping back in. What the hell's up with that? I'm tired of this. I would like to feel normal without a handful of pills. The anxiety is relatively new, and it sucks. The depression has been around forever, I can recognize it now before it gets bad. The anxiety, tho - that knocks me down. Started a new anti-d and i feel like crawling out of my skin right now. Ativan, take me away! Maybe I'll add a little vodka to the mix and see if that helps any. Thanks for reading.

Hey Y'all Until recently I was what I thought of as 'normal'. Then, I decided to leave my wife and family and head off on a mission from God, to deliver a message of peace and love. The universe was protecting me from harm by providing me with superpowers so I was basically invincible. This was great (it really was) until I had a crazy suicidal psychotic episode, which has not great at all. Then I found out NONE OF IT WAS REAL. Now I find myself awake at 6am with not much else to do but seek solace with other crazies like me, like you.

Hello everyone I am new to this website

Hi everyone, my name is Kelsie and I live in the UK. The reason for my visit? I'm pretty crazy. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and schizoaffective disorder. I also have Asperger Syndrome and ADHD (not doing wonders for my sleep), amongst other health problems. Anyway, I'm pretty ordinary in some respects - I like sexy men (especially after alcohol), music and whisky! I also love fashion and nice hair. In fact, I'm obsessed with hair. Obsessed, I tell you! Literally, some people have thought I was a lesbian when I was telling them how nice their hair was, but besides being more aesthetically pleasing, women don't do anything for me. Anyhooooozle, you shall hear a lot more from moi. Kelsie XxxxxX <3

This is hands down, the best forum, I have ever found. So fitting, Call me jo, I'm 20 I make no sense, unless you speak my paradoxical tongue. I'm anxiety, depressed, hate, love and paranoia ridden. I'm a romantic, with bold boundaries. I look forward to these talks. xo
