I did the same a few months ago. Now I feel much better. Hope yours is temporary too.

FB is fake. Most people only put positives on there so it's not an accurate reflection of people's lives.

I hear manic depressives collapse after 3 days in a manic episode is that true? @ the few that are schizoaffective.

I've never been full manic, only hypomanic, but I've seen others have manic episodes that last longer than 3 days without meds.

She was explosive last night and I sneaked an extra zyprexa to her just so she could calm down and go to sleep. She woke up telling me she feels very angry and she doesnt know why.
Pdoc wants to put her on clozerel(sp), and everyone is talking about a respit hospital for her to be sent to for a couple of months. Yea, like Im going to let her go to one where she can come out worse than she went in.
A regular psych hospital is okay because its a good one and she is in there only to fix her meds. But to go residential for a while? I dont think so.
Im sorry a lot of you guys are having a hard time lately. I think its the time change and seasons changing maybe. IDK...im rambling....so much emotion right now i dont know what to say without it coming out garbled up.

So much going on for you all Punky
I would think about the clozaril...if I needed it, I'd take it. The risk of the serious blood problem is teeny and they monitor it so it can be stopped before it gets out of hand. The other problem is weight gain, but that's the same with a lot of the APs. Maybe the clozaril will help avoid residential...

I saw 1 of my stalkers watching me today as well, I really want to talk to him, but he always calls the police.

I don't think that would be wise if it would involve the police.

No the regular police don't carry guns (thank god! That would freak me the **** out! I already get anxious when I see the police; afraid I'm going to get arrested for something, dunno what though), but they have special gun divisions if needed.

I hated my brother who had ADHD and was abusive, because he acted like a total **** all the time and yet got all the attention. However now we get on well and I think he's a great dad. What I'm saying is that things could change as she gets older, but may involve talking to the others about what their problem is with Bean, see if you could facilitate a resolution
