Maybe u can add an anti depressant. I understand though, I struggle with that too.

What if you end up depressed an psychotic instead? Like sunshine I think maybe an AD would help or therapy can help with milder depression....

They need to be hosted somewhere on the internet like with photobucket.....if they aren't on the net I don't think you can post them although there might be a way with tapatalk but I don't use that. I host with photobucket and use the IMG link or if they are already on the net I use the mountain icon with the link to the picture only....

Let me know if that clarifies things....

Ok, so can I post images from my albums? They are from the net.

I've never done it but I assume so.....you need to be able to zoom in so the picture is the only thing on the page and there is a link to the picture only then you last that link into the mountain box that pops up.

Sometimes psychotic · Aug 31, 2014, 10:09 AM

Ok yeah it works the same way from albums but you have to click the bar that says see the whole image then use the mountain icon with that link....be sure to delete the http that comes up so you don't have two....

Aug 31, 2014, 10:11 AM

Well I went to photobucket and copied the link. Then I used the mountain icon and pasted it but it's still not working...it may be bc I'm on a kindle...

I did and its still not doing it...

Are you copying the website url? You should use the 'direct link' bit to copy the url not the address bar, which is for the page not the image. Only thing I could think might be going wrong.

The IMG works directly without the mountain the direct link works with the mountain.

Ok I figured it out. Thanks.

Ah I thought we were talking photobucket! Glad you mated to figure something out.

Aug 31, 2014, 10:24 AM

Well newtus, you really need to take your meds. And I do too. I know it sucks...

The risperdal is helping me think more rationally.

I know I can take a AD but the idea of more meds doesn't thrill me at all. I was on a anti depressant a while back but was taken off of it when I said I didn't need it because I wasnt feeling depressed anymore so I was taken off of it but now i am taking this higher dose of haldol I feel depressed I dont want to take more meds,But I surely wouldnt want to be depressed and psychotic so I guess I should talk to my pdoc about being put on a AD.

I see ADs as a stop gap until you get better skills for dealing with the crapiness of life...sure some people need them long term but not everyone for some you get the meds and work in therapy until everyone agrees youre OK then you taper slowly and if everything looks ok get off.

I'm on a lot of meds. It sucks but hopefully if I keep taking them I can start to slowly wean myself off, but with the psych nurses help, lol. Playing Dr isn't working...

Yeah try an AD. 2 meds is nothing

They aren't, I promise u.

you know what helped me was atypical gave me some advice and it helped. I wrote out what the facts were. Just the facts. So for you the facts are, you're home alone on the internet. Write down whatever you're thinking and do a reality check.

But u have to do it. Journaling helps me too.
