Have you tried therapy? I mainly just go in and chat with her about random things... don't really do much work on stuff besides chatting so its like just having a friend i can see and lean on for a little support which is nice, plus she's cute

I wish I knew more so I could give some nice advice, but we are here for moral support atleast... I just know that I was dx with bipolar in the beginning and it was so wrong dx for me... Focusing on trauma and the issues trauma can bring up has been a large help for me... and I think they also are agreeing with me finally and working on that side of things rather than just saying its a chemical imbalance and pushing drugs on me that dont do anything but make me gain weight or sleep grrrr

I go to a community mental health clinic... they have slider scales so its more affordable to people that have financial stress...
is there a program like that where you are?
I don't have to pay anything and get to do it free because of my financial situation...

Have you read this article?
Why Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Is Often Misdiagnosed | Dissociative Living - HealthyPlace

I found it interesting.....

i wish meds helped me more, but i just try to deal with it hte best i can...

Marijuana probably causes me to dissociate too, but I enjoy it because its better than the alternative... which is absolute hell, and where I'm at currently since I haven't had any in a while... I can't say for sure that it causes me to dissociate because honestly im still not sure if i dissociate... maybe my brain really is just broken, or dying...

we will wait with you
Lamictal for me has no side effects. Sometimes I wonder where all this comes from. The drugs don't bother me none. It's actually helped stabalize our mood.

I did go to a sliding scale clinic, but now I make too much money- ever heard of a thing? Lol

Too much but not enough.

I mean there was a time I qualified for free care....but the staff is so overwhelmed and you are in and out fast.

Weve been depressed all day....so I took an extra 5 mg Prozac with a few beers and feel much better now.

Being stuck in the wrong body does a thing to a girls mind.
