I sadly really don't try to make them anymore...just sets me up for failure (I'm also ad/hd) and the guilt is just too much for me.

Sure i'll share i love to run my mouth.( or my fingers)lol

I was referred to a psyche by my personal physican because i just couldnt deal anymore with anything. Crying, anger, utter sadness, mood swings all in one day. Although I dont see him anymore he made me learn how to become self aware. My dad was dx as paranoid schizophrenic but was probably BPI and un-medicated. And i suspect so were my uncles, which would expalin the alcoholism.

I began keeping a mood journal of sorts. How i felt, what triggerd it and how i reacted. This was helpful in getting me to step outside myself, so to speak and recognize destructive behaviour. I was able to see that unless i got some type pharmacuetical help i would become an alcholic and lose my relationship w/God and that scared me more than anything.

I was against medication at first for many reasons and this helped me see the need for it. That i couldnt do it on my own. Also talking about it to SELECT friends and family helped me to accept the diagnosis and not fear the percieved stigma. I was able to inform them and as a result informed myself.

I found that,in addition to the proper medication, having a good diet is very very important. I read a book called " You, The Owners Manual" and found that very helpful in cutting out foods that are unhealthy. Exercise is also important because it affects the mind and releases certain chemical that will aid in evening out my moods. My faith and confidence in God has been of tremendous help in making sure that i am not unbalanced in my thinking. Reading the Bible when i feel a manic or depressive mood coming on is extremely helpful for me.

Its hard work and i have come far but i have so much farther to go. I have days when i want run my car into a pylon or dont want to get out of bed. And all my coping skills dont always work. But I am determined to continue the run the race until God brings about the final solution. Feel free to email me thru my profile if you like and i wish you a good journey.
