Retriever Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I was a member here prior to the split involving CrazyMeds, and I have not been here in a while so I am here to say hello. I was first diagnosed several years ago with panic disorder and major depressive disorder. My second pdoc said I have schizoaffective disorder, which he said was a combination of these with psychotic features, as I sometimes hear voices. I am not very good about taking my meds, and as such have been having a very difficult time lately. I know it is my fault, so I am trying to do better with my medications. Prior to all of this my mother commited suicide, and I feel myself heading down the same road. Life holds little meaning for me at the present time, but I am hoping things will change. I guess only time will tell. I am very glad that this forum still exists. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittyloaf Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi there! I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost my parents( not suicide) and husband( suicide). I hope you are seeing a therapist that can help you work through your grief. I'm doing that and it helps slowly. I hope you can find the right meds if you haven't already.

Retriever Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks Kitty. I am currently not seeing a therapist and I know I need to. I think I have the right meds and the right pdoc. Just need to be compliant with my meds. I appreciate your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallowedink Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Welcome to CB. I'm really sorry for your loss. I hope that you do manage to find a therapist to work through your grief. In terms of meds, I don't know if you have a schedule for taking them? I find if I take mine at the same time every day then it becomes part of my routine and I'm less likely to start resenting them as a symbol of the fact that I'm ill, or something like that.

pickles Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Crazymeds still exists, as does its forum - it just has a different URL: http://www.crazymeds.us/CrazyTalk/index.php? It is primarily medication focused, but it has a support function in its blog section. Jerod Poore still owns and writes Crazymeds. I don't know who owns CrazyBoards. I think it is Velvet Elvis. pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
