bipolar 1

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Are you or are you not saying that he is justified in not taking his medications because he should not trust his doctors?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

and what does your incessant ing and moaning at me have anything to do with the OP?

i'm not hoping to sound intelligent, i am just another internet messageboard member giving my 2 cents.

until you get a PhD, we're in the same boat. and if you ever get a PhD and practice, i hope you lose that license for over prescribing to fill your pockets full of green backs.

You cannot prescribe without an MD dumbass.

Are you or are you not saying that he is justified in not taking his medications because he should not trust his doctors?

no. i am saying, if it's not working then find a better doc or tell your doc it's not working.

btw, what is this matlock? am i on stand or what?

well when he gets his MD then... dumbass.

[Cry Havoc]

went a few times to be exact, took meds for 5 yrs with no promising results, and decided the best thing for me to do was figure the out myself.

Oh, a few times. My mistake.

koriwhat, asserting his extensive knowledge of Psychology after 5 full pages of dodging.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

well when he gets his MD then... dumbass.

When I call you a dumbass its because of obvious general ignorance like the above, inability to obtain even a high school diploma, being a male secretary and calf tats.

When you call me a dumbass its because youre too stupid to do anything but parrot what I say. Sad, really.

There are people who have not received the vaccine who are alive and well today. If your going to pull out the "50s" card don't forget to mention how doctors used to tell us how good tobacco was for you.

BC the vacine pretty much eradicated it. As close to a CURE as we can get.

As far as the "50's card"...I wasnt pulling that out, on the contrary I was pulling out the 2010's card. Saying that what we know now trumps what we knew then i.e tobaco is bad for you, and the knowlegde to treat mental disorders

so we're going to go down this route, huh? this thread isn't about me, it's more about yours and crybaby's inability to see past your own insecurities. to try and put me down every chance yall can is humorous to say the least.

there was no inability to obtain a hs diploma. it was a decision i made because i was bored. i had straight A's half way through my junior yr but it didn't matter to me. whether you consider it a stupid decision is your opinion. it doesn't affect me one way or the other.

working as an office clerk, or male secretary, is a job. a job. i could be out fixing 410 but why would i want to bake in the sun all day when i can use my head to do computer work and answer a few phone calls a day? i'd say that's a brilliant job decision. my other job is screenprinting and my freelancing is print/web design. i work three jobs so why not mention them all? oh because the other two aren't as funny... male screenprinter? male freelance artist? yeah, you're right, not funny at all.

When you call me a dumbass its because youre too stupid to do anything but parrot what I say. Sad, really.

you mean, sort of how you parrot my bandwagon fans? you know, the ones that try to put me down with things irrelevant like, "calf tats", "no hs diploma", "male secretary", etc... that type of parrot? the one who has nothing original to say and can only mutter the words and phrases of others? those parrots?

if you think i am a dumbass, that's fine by me. more power to you man! but, when i call you a dumbass it's not because i am "parroting" you, it's because i genuinely think you're a dumbass. look, we think the same of each other!

maybe you're more educated in this or that and i am too though you wouldn't know with the blinders you wear.

i might make a fool of myself here from time to time but to act like you're somehow above me is not only comedic, it is also asinine.

btw, i can attack a book as well as the next person but that doesn't make me an MD either. so until you get to the point where you're writing bs prescriptions and making $100+/hr don't act like you're any better than anyone here on ST or in this world.

it's simple man, you don't care for what i say which is cool with me, so why harp on it incessantly? one reply and you drag it to 7+ pages, are you kidding me? you must love me or else you would've dropped it a page in.

also, i was never speaking to you anyhow, i was giving my opinion to zak and that's the funny thing about this whole thing. yall took it personally for whatever reason when my opinion wasn't directed at you and CryBaby. zak's a man right, a man that can make up his own mind, so let him! stop policing a public forum because you don't agree with one persons in' OPINION!

get back on the train or get the off the tracks!

it's all bipolar, but that term can sometimes be used loosely to diagnose someone who has volatile moodswings, every person is different which is why there are different medication combinations for every person even though they may be suffering from "the same condition"... How can one medication work for a bipolar patient and the same medication not work for another bipolar patient?

also, bipolar disorder can start really at any time in your life. It can start in children, in adolescence, in adults and in older adults. And depending on when the illness starts, the symptoms could be different. In young children, the illness starts slowly, sometimes it involves changes in mood and irritability, and aggression, and changes in attention and difficult behavior. Mood swings can happen several times during the day. In adolescences and in adults, the illness can start either with a manic episode, or with depressed episode. Sometimes the illness can start even very late in life, when people are 50 or 60. In elderly people, when bipolar illness starts, it's usually related with some other brain disorder that may happen at the same time that can be connected to cardiovascular disease or even early dementia.

The most common age of onset of the illness, though, is young adulthood in the late teens and early 20s.

OK, I thought you were saying that zak & 2Teen had totally different illnesses.... That's why I was confused.
I do understand and know all about the different types and degrees of bipolarI, II, NOS and how diagnoses are made and how it can change as you age.

where did bigzak go in the club picture anyway??

I just noticed that too.

[JoeChalupa]

I do remember bigzak telling me he wanted all his posts deleted so he must have meant everything.

BC the vacine pretty much eradicated it. As close to a CURE as we can get.

In that case wake me up when start giving out the Bi-polar vaccine.

As far as the "50's card"...I wasnt pulling that out, on the contrary I was pulling out the 2010's card. Saying that what we know now trumps what we knew then i.e tobaco is bad for you, and the knowlegde to treat mental disorders

That might have been true a few years back but a 2008 "scientific" discovery is saying cigarettes may be good for you after all.

Science cracks me up.

[The Reckoning]

You cannot prescribe without an MD dumbass.

not all the time. states are becoming more lenient with psychologists prescribing medication...the line between psychiatrist and psychologist is starting to be blurred.

[mouse]

I do remember bigzak telling me he wanted all his posts deleted so he must have meant everything.

Only a true Bi-polar person will wait an hour to ask for them to be posted back.

[JoeChalupa]

Doesn't everyone have mood swings? I know my sis had a mood ring decades ago and it would change colors all the time.

[JoeChalupa]

Only MD's can prescribe?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The reason I harp on it is because you are telling a psychotic that he is right to not trust his doctors. Unless he is full of he is going to end up dead or hurting someone else and I have little doubt to that.

What you are doing is encouraging that to happen and I do not like that whatsoever. I really do not think you are aware of the seriousness of what he is describing.

You keep on going back to your gay friend and bad experience with effexor. You are the one that smeared your calf tats around the forum, detailed you HS failure and ty job. You made the bed. Sleep in it.

[JoeChalupa]

I only have a HS diploma.



So what?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Doesn't everyone have mood swings? I know my sis had a mood ring decades ago and it would change colors all the time.

bipolar is not about mood swings. The DSM definition specifically says:

A distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, lasting at least 1 week

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Only MD's can prescribe?

In the state of Texas.

[Shelly]

Only MD's can prescribe?

my husband is in trouble then!

Zak--minus all the the bickering going on in here, I do hope you find something that works for you!

[Shelly]

In the state of Texas.

What can M.D.s only prescribe in Texas?

[mouse]

As long as the drug company's can come up with new pills to make more money there will always be Bi-polar patients.

[The Reckoning]

In the state of Texas.

think again.
