thanks atisketatasket!
Having a good day so far but also feel like I'm picking up on radio signals with my brain, maybe a chip of sorts? It's not bothering me too much right now but I'm worried if I go to certain places it's gonna get worse |

When I get like that, I put on music or watch something on YouTube to block out the sounds. But if the radio signals start telling you to do bad things, then you should tell someone (e.g., family member, pdoc, etc.) so that you're not bottling it in. Sometimes therapists are great people to talk to (even if it's in the context of group therapy) because they'll help you with pretty much anything. Would that help with your anxiety related to the signals getting worse?

A warm hello to all!
I think of you daily and hope all can be as well as possible. I have been very ill and am hoping I on finally on the road to recovery. I continue to take a med called Mirapex for severe depression. I need to end this note now, before I lose it. I have lost several notes I had written here ;lately. Love to all! __________________ May we each fully claim the courage to live from our hearts, to allow Love, Faith and Hope to enLighten our paths. |

I have really been clocking the ZZZs lately! I'm definitely not depressed, though. In fact, when awake I have been feeling very well. I've urged my psychiatrist to keep lowering my Seroquel XR, which is going well, and yet I have regularly slept less on higher doses, in the past. I told him that I think my increased activity is just tiring me out by the end of the days. It is nice to be more and more active, while stable, and not just because of mania.
I started a diet for myself and hubby the day before yesterday. It's going very well so far. I hope it continues to do so. Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend and relief from any pain or stress. |

I've just recently realized that I am manic on many occasions. It has led to my financial difficulties.
I have suicidal ideation as a direct result of mania. |

I've been so ****ing bored today
seriously apart from eating breakfast and showering, I have had nothing in my skedule I've been sat here in the darkness for most of the day (not through depression) through the fact I'm alergic to bees and it's very sunny outside- perfect weather for the little blighters to come find me |

Back on seroquel. Morning afternoon and night doses. Back up to 400. Ugh. I hate antipsychotics with a passion. I'm torn. Might quit it again. I still would rather not have that stuff hijacking my metabolism and antagonizing my brain.

Sometimes a pdoc will reduce a patient's AP dosage once the patient is stabilized. Or they'll take the person off the med entirely and tell the patient to use it as a PRN for the next time they get depressed/manic/mixed. So, I would ask about that because maybe you won't have to be on it for a long time -- just enough to get stabilized. But obviously I don't know your pdoc or treatment team, so that's why I don't know. |

Moose you were sounding like you needed something to reign in the manic. Maybe you should give it some time?

Hello,
I'm still with us. The big D is trying to do a number on me. I felt it yesterday. I'm fighting it. Today it has been better. I know what I'm fighting. It's all economical. No health issues. Just frustration. If I can't do it alone, it's reassuring to have all of you guy rooting for me. Cheers. __________________ ]Roses are red. Violets are blue.[ Look for the positive in the negative.
