Planning, yes. Following through, we'll see. I would like to be more organized with just about everything. Thoughts, time, finances, goals. Goals, especially. I'm within spitting distance of graduating college, and I would like to organize accordingly.
What do you want out of 2017? |

No. Fireworks scare me. Specially trying to sleep.
Grapes, no. Water bucket, no. Traveling bag around the block, no. None of that has worked. Open to new ideas. If you change several amounts of several meds at the same time, how do you know which one was working or wasn't working. __________________ ]Roses are red.

You don't? I never am allowed to change more than one at a time unless I'm doing extremely badly or am IP so I have no experience with this.

Yes, for about 2 years. I got a lot of meds through patient assistance and others through discount progams like rxoutreach.org and discount cards. I got my healthcare through charity care at the hospital where my pdoc is. It was tough.
Were the holidays easier, more difficult or abou the same this year? __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD. Clozapine 250 mg, Emsam 12 mg/day patch, topamax 25 mg, ,Gabapentin 1700 mg & 100-2 PRN,. 1.5 mg clonazepam., 50 mg Seroquel |

BPD is more embarrassing, but even that fades. Delusions are just beautiful works of fiction. It's as real as any other reality, so/and my reactions to them are nothing to be embarressed about.
Do you think you generally care more for others than others care for you? __________________ Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.

I don't know. I think it is generally even. Having said that I don't really have a lot of people in my life.

I am usually on the computer these days when manic, but the big one would be spending money.

Neither! My thought patterns and money spending might lean towards hypo but the destruction is still at bay.
Do you work? If so is it full or part time, and how does that fit into your self care? |

Yes. I'm developing software while on disability. You should try it (and I can help you with that; PM me). I used to work as a software developer for a "real" company, a big multinational.

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
