I see a psychiatrist once a month. I've been with him for at least 8 years now. He is a specialist - a diplomat in the field of Psychiatry. I am disabled so the government helps me with cost both for doctor visits and the very high cost of medication. But my main source of aid is my family. They have witnessed me at my very worse and treat me with care. Stress triggers, most of time, a reaction on my part; that's why the doctor does not allow for me to work or drive. I have the potention to harm others in such situations if I get stresssed out.

I live pretty much alone from the world, alienated (I figure it might be like the hurt, the aliention, that the Deaf undergo in an unjust the hearing world). I can't say for certain if such experience(s) equate to the deaf person for I am hearing and not deaf.

Maybe that's a reason why I am so attracted to Deaf culture. I can, somehow, relate to their anger (maybe to a point...remember that there's no way I can know if such is true for I am not a deaf man and do NOT experience the world from the point of view of a deaf person).

Knowing that I am not alone in this - that others with bipolar suffer the same alienation and pain brings me some comfort. I don't feel so alone you know.

The world thinks that just because I'm disabled that I am unable to do what they do to the same capacity and that fact cuts deep. The injustice hurts. It makes me feel small and unworthy...it's cruelty no doubt about it. I brush all that junk aside because if I ALLOW IT to effect me I would curl up into a corner and be forever lost in my pain.

Is this alienation sound familiar to you the deaf individual?
Do you undergo the same experience in your life as I do, or is different? (???)

What happens if you have an incident while driving? Do any attacks come on suddenly?

Very destructive indeed! I can't tell you how many times (I've lost count) I have been hauled away by cops to the ward - cuffed, double-locked.

If you never felt dreadful fear for your life, hang out at your local mental ward for a day or two. While in those places I was SCARED SHITLESS for my life! You see I was with the violent cases, two to a room if you can imagine (you don't know if you'll wake up dead or alive so you sleep with one eye open if you catch my drift): orderlies will be more than happy to thoroughly kick your ass if you fail to comply to their abusive commands the first time - there are no rebuttals to be issued as a prisoner, I mean a patient, in those hell holes. :pissed:

A bipolar life is very different than a normal one. I am not allowed, by doctors orders, to work (which I will disobey - I WILL go to school and be a terp regardless...I lust for normalcy in my life and I'll break free from these chains one day (so is my hope)). I am not allowed to drive even...but I drive, fuck it.

Yea and I am worried about my dad and stepmom's health with the constant stress regarding their son.
 
I have PTSD stemming from being stalked & raped when I was 16 years old by a boyfriend. He raped me and then stalked me afterwards when I broke up with him.
Thanks for making the thread OP-I saw that someone else had posted they had PTSD too. Glad I'm not alone.

i not bipolar but have and still do get very bad panic attacks and depression,it tough any mental illness is
 
Re #6:

Deaf Badger,you asked if there's any connection between bipolar and schizophrenia.

Actually,there can be a blend of both disorders. When schizophrenic symptoms and symptoms of mania and/or depression both exist,it's called schizoaffective disorder.

Myself,I have a schizophrenic spectrum disorder. Some psychs say it's schizoaffective,others say it's residual schizophrenia,some say it's paranoid
schizophrenia. I'm on SSI because of my mental disorder.

I take Abilify@ and Cogentin@. Abilify has been advertised on TV as for depression/bipolar but not for schizophrenia,although it is used for schizophrenia. I guess there's still this stigma about schizophrenia. Cogentin@ is used to reduce possible side effects.
 
I take Abilify as well.

My Medications (Bipolar, Anxiety, ADHD, and Nervous Tic Disorder):

Depakote
Lamictal
Klonopin
Abilify
Effexor
Adderall

(I used to take Lithium but it was removed from my cocktail because it was damaging my kidneys)

My Medications (Blood Pressure (heart), Thyroid):

Fenofibrate
Synthroid
Lisinopril

When I was in 3rd grade I was diagnosed with Epilepsy. I got lucky because it was caught early. By 7th grade I was out of the woods - no seizures since then yet I do have a mild case of Nervous Tic Disorder today.

At one time, and many years ago, I had a little black bag full of meds I was "supposed" to take for depression.....(after several nervous break downs)....Doctor advised me to "get out of the city...take a long break in the Country"...worry about absolutely Nothing....I did just that, and happy I did!....and after 6 months or so, all those Meds were History!....

Life in General is very hard....and feel there are more depressed people in this world than they are Happy....Meds are just a "cover up" for some people when doctors cannot find the root of the problem they are having.....or the problem they have cannot be "fixed" ....my prognosis was "poor"...but all those meds made me feel like a "zombie"...I threw them all out after 6 months and have not taken any meds for depression since.

Do I feel better?...Not really. I just made an adjustment to myself and my lifestyle. I don't expect to be happy everyday, impossible...just making the best of what I can do and accepting the rest....
 
i made adjustments aswel,i gave myself bucket list and traveling was one of them meeting other people and get confident,got back pack very little in it went to australia new zealand america took two months..
changed my life by my husband staying out of it, my life is mine.i not be dictated to..
accepted depression is part of life you be odd if happy everyday and permenent happy people can really piss you at times...you dealt a hand in life you deal with it if not you dont live
 
The only medicine I take is for my fibromyalgia. It's not really helping anymore for the fibro, but it does dull the pain enough to let me sleep. That alone is worth it.

get them test thyroid,many women get bums rush told it fibromylaia and same symptoms as under active thyroid
 
I have anxiety disorder from a trauma. I am afraid to be in the dark, to be alone, to be far away from family. I am nervous when I try to sleep at night when I know everyone in the apartment is already asleep because I feel like I need someone to be awake to watch and make sure everything is safe. It comforts me if I wake up in the middle of the night, I look out my window and see the city lights all around and hear cars/buses/fire trucks being noisy. It makes me know I'm not alone during the night, that people are still awake and are around if something bad happens. It used to make me nervous just to admit all this, but now it feels good to be able to let it out.

I see a psychiatrist once a month, we talk about ways to re-think my feelings. I use klonopin to prevent panic attacks. I've gotten A LOT better.

When I created this thread I wanted for others to write out their emotions because it is in fact a release. It feels good to express such feeling and to know that you are not alone in your pain.

I had depression few years ago, been taking same meds ever since. Don't know when Dr. will let me stop them, I have no depression issues anymore. I do have night terrors from old PTSD though, so that might be why he continues the meds.
