    to medicate, or not to medicate...that is the question.

    if i don't medicate, then i must exercise extreme self control, which i have been unable to do in the past.

    if i do medicate, then i feel uncomfortable in my own skin. very eerie feeling.

    last resort is pot which i know would get many votes on this site, but is not an option as i don't want to be a bad example for my son and i need to get a jobby job.

    so what say you spurstalkers?

    Do the meds till you get a job, then switch to pot if they don't do periodic testing.

    My sister was bipolar and came after me with a big piece of broken glass once. Fun childhood. 2 teenage sisters, one is bipolar, the other a whorish . And little ol elementary school version of me had to deal with them. If you can't exercise self control and you have kids I don't see how you can't medicate.

    Zak, if the meds made you feel badly, then the meds need to be adjusted. Psych drugs need to be continually monitored and tweaked until you get a dosage that works for you. If you had an abcess, you'd go to a dentist. If you're crazy (and I mean that with all due respect--my best friend is bipolar), then you need a psychiatrist and drugs.

    You're an idiot. You know very well what's going to eventually happen, because it always does. Some day, because of this choice, your wife will take the kids and leave.

    thanks Summers,

    i became obsessed with something i thought was impossible to be too obsessed with, which was Jesus.

    i really believed myself to be the son of man for a while there...

    i want to do the right thing, so i'll keep on meds and try to get them adjusted as needed while also seeing a shrink.

    and chuck D, if you can't contribute nicely, just go away.

    You're an addict, zack, addicted to your manic phase. That's why you loathe the meds. They take that away from you. Being nice to an addict doesn't accomplish . Addicts sacrifice everything to feed their monkey, including their families.

    that's much better man, and I agree with you to an extent.

    it is addicting, kinda like the black spiderman suit.

    i do loathe the meds, but no so much the meds, as much as they way they make me feel right now. like i'm in some sort of candy coated s ...cue the fat m&m jokes...

    i won't sacrifice my family though. thanks for being constructive in your post though man.

    I agree with Summers. And there comes a time when some meds don't work anymore. Whether it is upping them or even changing them it needs to be done.

    I'm not a proponent of over medication by any means, but if you are nonfunctioning then you need to be on medication, no if ands or buts about it.

    I don't understand how smoking pot makes you a bad example for your son... I mean sure the job things kind of a problem there but, I'm sure you can smoke it once you get a job... Everyone else does.


    Pot is not bad.

    None of the above. Don't be addicted to anything but making positive decisions about your life.

    I don't know your background (history with mental illness) but that's the type of answer that is easier said than done. If someone with any type of diagnosis, ranging from bipolar I or II generalized anxiety disorder or any other, they would love to be in that type of place.

    Stop being lazy bigzak. You don't have to smoke pot or take meds, you do, however, have to get off your fat ass and stop doing nothing. Your mind takes over when your body is idle. Start slow, but you need a lifestyle change, not just a diet, a whole new way of life. One thing that sucks... It's not easy, but it's the best thing you can do for yourself and to be a good role model for your son and whatnot

    It's pretty simple to me. Beat addictions by journaling what bad habits you have, what limiting beliefs you have that fuel them (cause and effect), learn to slow down the process every day by watching how you make decisions and cir venting the process with healthier new habits. Then make enough courageous decisions so that the new habit becomes natural and keep improving your lifestyle.

    Of course it's easier said than done but that doesn't mean it's not feasible and not worth trying... I'd say it a whole lot better effort with your life than resigning to it and saying f it I'm gonna go do pot or some other addiction to escape reality.

    Oh btw I have had anxiety and panic attacks diagnosed by a professional therapist. All I got in my sessions was a handout that explained how panic attacks happen and the ability to talk it through with the therapist.

    No drugs because my insurance didn't want to pay for it. It turns out I didn't need them (or alcohol or anything else) anyway as I kept working on myself (visualization, eating right, realizing the trigger to my panic attack was one event and not a cycle of things). Over time the disorder lost it's grip over me and I took back control of my life. But it's definitely a constant thing that I have to remind myself of so I keep control over my emotions and use NLP and other techniques to change my default reactions to positive ones.

    Understand that you're talking to lazy fatsos that have more excuses than they do reasons for improving themselves. It takes some people longer to get their priotrities straightened out, sometimes they never do.
