Well, 2 of my friends who have been diagnosed with Bi-polar depression, were depressed about it and took a lot of alcohol... on top of their prescribed medication.

What has that got to do with anything? We all know that certain psychiatric meds go horrible when combined with alcohol (and many other drugs). What you are basically saying is to not drink alcohol - at least certainly not to excess - when on certain psychiatric meds, yes? Then we can all agree on that and move on without the added foolishness.

You do realise that pretty much every single thing you have ever known - certainly everything you have ever put into your body - is "chemicals", yes? 8)
 
You don't know what I know


On this particular subject probably more than you. My knowledge of mental health comes from over 21 years working in the field. I administered some of the drugs you don't trust less than an hour ago.
Also

I can chime in if I want this is an open forum.
And I was responding to your friend who mentioned me by name.

.....that was for raas in case it's not obvious

Oh and in case OP is still reading : one natural thing I would recommend is meditation.
 
My volunteer colleague has bipolar, I'm not bipolar but we related on a few things (that is urrrr until last week when I totally went at her n walked out of my volunteering job because I can't manage conflict, bottle shit up, lash out n then feel like shite). She's two daughters; one lives in Cornwell, the other in London I think.... I think one has aspie tendencies (know a far bit on Asperger's / autism) but she's very much afraid of what others think of her, tries to please others n worried a lot. We've a lot in common tho from bad men to drugs n suicidal tendenices, oh shite I had a go at her I'm gna have to somehow deal with that Wednesday, shit fkn shittt. shit shittttttttttttttttttttt.
 
You had a bad reaction. It happens....
Or maybe it wasn't the drug. The thought process was yours after all.

I can't tell you why you did what you did.

I can tell you that psychiatrists and mental health nurses know their trade. If I was told to take a drug I'd give it time to reach therapeutic range.
If I was experiencing severe side effects I'd most likely speak to a Dr before I stopped.
But if it really wasn't agreeing with me they'd try something else.
It's a process that can sometimes take a while.

are you saying that medication has no value ?
For every bad reaction there is a hundred lives changed for the better.
If you really don't like medication then throw your subs away, see what herbal remedies Holland and Barrettes have on offer today

I'm sure we can all agree that having an orgasm should be fine with any mental illness.

I thought if we were doing gallows humour, it was traditionally supposed to be the hangee who was the first to start it?

I'll be charitable this one time and assume you were merely jumping the gun, rather than making light of another person's predicament.
 
I guess i did drink a lot while on citalopram n it did get rid of this horrible anxiety that wont fuck off n that's been with me since i was uhhh 3 yrs old hence getting obsessed with stuff n fixated on BL. Maybe you've a point. But i cant go back on it now have to just live this anxiety my family will think me weak

Heaven forbid we make light of something. If you don't laugh you cry and all that
 
At raas.

What really bugged me about your comment is the 'laying off'

It suggested to me "I feel fine today so I will resist and not take it"

That fucks people up. I've seen it over and over.
I'm sure it's common knowledge that people with b/p often do this especially if they feel energised or creative during a manic phase.

As for herbal remedies over man made substances.
I see no difference. The most effective treatment is the one that works best. What works best is discovered during the process I mentioned above.

that process can only work if people trust their psychiatrist. This 'big pharma is bad, natural is good' thing doesn't help that trust.

Maybe I didn't need to swear. You just hit a nerve.
 
I like how everyone suddenly has a degree in mental health..
