Something awful happined to me, when i was19!

No need! I am already on psychatropic meds for personal issues. Thanks. I know u are trying to help. u are!

 

Thanks. I am sorry for all including me who have had this or something similiar happen to them! It sucks! but I do not pity others or myself to tears.

 

Patchwork, meds can really be helpful for many types of anxiety and depression issues, as well as others. I think people who are violently against meds either were forced to take them against their will (and, if they were psychotic, depressed or BiPolar, it was the illness that made them reject the medication, and make the docs give them meds against their wills, maybe to save their lives) or have never really had problems bad enough to need medication. OR the wrong meds were prescirbed for them. (I know a few people who were BiPolar and misdiagnosed as Depressed and the antidepressants made them worse. A GOOD doctor, who does a complete mental and physical health assessment before prescribing is needed.)

If you need the meds, you take them. With therapy (which is essencial for anyone on psychotropic medication IMO) you will heal faster. Many many emotional problems are rooted in chemical conditions, and you can't "talk yourself' out of these anymore than you could "talk yourself" out of a broken leg!

You certainly have my full support to gain mental health, by meds or any other means you find works for you.

 

I have Bipolar, PTSD, Sever depression. I am on meds, but i do not do talk therapy. It does not help. I have other resources avalable like, the day treatment program i go to. it helps. i have met lots of wonderful staff and clients there. It is a program to help people w/ mental illness stay stable, and get them more stable.Also get them help.

 

It sounds like you are on the right track. Day treatment centers can be really helpful to help you get on your feet. They are similar to individual talk therapy sessions, and some people do much better with the day treatment centers. You sound like you know what works for you. Keep up the good work.

Heal sister.

 

Thanks Maggie Sugar. U're really sweet! Just like ur names.

 

Once more i thank all of u have given ur opinion, and trying to help me!

 

Im sorry that, it happend to you!!!! Really intruely Sorry! I can't say I know how you feel and I can't say that I understand 100%. But there are places you can go, people to talk to. You can't really expect a person not to be disturbed, because its hard to hear that someone you know went through that. I know many people who have been raped or molested. And its kind of sad that every one knows someone who has. Your not alone. You'll get through it eventually and you'll come out strong =) I hope that one day soon you will over come this. It may be a bumpy road but you can pull through it. =)

 

i suspect this a very common occurrence. i also suspect that you may be a very isolated person. you must try to find some good people with whom you can bond. i suppose counselling will help. whilst it does nothing for me (i fall asleep) maybe you could join some form of yoga/ meditation group? you need to sorround yourself with calm people. eat more green vegetables. this will not be a magic bullet but....

 

I have. U. All of u hippies! Tot. trueth!

 

good luck on getting ur life back together. No comments on him getting cancer though. Try to let go of nur anger, and u will be happier.

 

let go of the anger and allow the ppositive energy flow into u. lot of luck.
