Hi, Melinda--

It is really awful when your thoughts race, and it seems as if you have no control at all. You look at your failures and weaknesses and you know that others are through making allowances for you, and you wonder how you can possibly make it, it hurts too much, can't do it anymore.

There is help available, even if you can't afford medications at the moment. The first thing would be to go see your pdoc. She/he can begin working on your medication.

Next, go visit the nearst chapter of NAMI. There, they have people who really, truly understand what's going on and care about you. They can help you get your meds, plus, there will be someone to talk to.

If things get to extreme, please go straight to the ER...don't allow your condition to hurt you anymore. and remember, you have a lot of folks here who are on your side...use us!

Be Safe, and
Have a Blessed Holiday!
