anyone here for me to talk to

Has anyone heard of having a depressed personality.
A doctor once told my mom that was her problem.

i was told i was bipolor

HBB - is this a new diagnosis?? Lots of people carry that diagnosis. I know it is a hard one to control. Are you working with a doctor for treatment of it?

Poly - a "depressed personality" - not sure, but that sounds like depression to me. Haven't heard that terminology before.

I know what you bipolar people are going through. I have bipolar also. it is tough at times but with the right meds you can do very well. I've had my highs and lows and some not very pretty. I've just learned to deal with it over the years.

(((HBB & bcs))) I know hon's......being bi polar is no fun at times but we are known to be much more intelligent and creative people. I love art and have made it my major here since I started college again........highs and lows be damned! We are strong and when we feel we aren't we are here for each other....HBB....bcs....write anytime. I might be at school or studying, but my personal email lets me kno when someone writes me here. I will answer it asap.

You are not alone out here, so if you want to vent or feel you can tell your story....here we are. Or you can email any of us and we will talk with ya.

(((poly))), here is a web link you can paste into your browser......it is about depression. I didn't read all the way through it, but it might shed some light. Another way to get better information is to type in the thing you are looking for into google. There was so much I really didn't know what to send you so I just took the first one. Hope this helps

OK so I found some more........hope these help. I was DG'd with BP, SAD, PTSD, MRD......

Bi Polar
Social Anxiety Disorder
Post Trumatic Stress Disorder
Major Reccurrent Depression

Some of those change depending on what Dr I see, LOLOL, but you get the jist of it. One thing that never changes for me is the Bi Polar and Anxiety and PTSD.

Thanks for the info......I will have to check it out and see what I can find out. Thanks for being here to talk to.

I'm bummed......

What's going on Karen? It has been a really crummy weekend for me too. Do you want to talk?

What's wrong Marie? I've just had the crap knocked out of my self esteeme.....that's all. I am my own worst enemy.

Was it a problem at school? You are a smart woman, we all have our setbacks.

Naw, just the wieght of the world, lol. I get tired of being Atlas sometimes. What's up in your world?

I know what you mean, lots of financial garbage going on. Then my friend had her stroke this weekend, I posted about that, asking for prayers. And my daughter had a miscarriage. There must be a cave out there somewhere with our names on them. I only want hot and cold running water, indoor plumbing WITH a flusher, a shower, washer and dryer, my computer w/DSL for JSH, TV once in awhile, heat, and a stove for cooking, and refrigerator to keep my Diet Pepsi cold. Oops, and a nice comfy bed to sleep in, not too much to ask for is it???

How bout you, does that sound good?? An ocean view would be nice too.

I am very very sorry to hear about your friend and daughter. Those kinds of things are terrible to deal with. I will keep them both in prayer. I actually pray for everyone here, but I will say extras for them.

OH Yeah! That's kinda what I got. The essentials, but barely making ends meet. No it is not too much to ask. I'm sorry I didn't see your post. I forgot to log out this morning before I went to school, so it seems I've been on all day.

Hooray for Diet Pepsi! Drink of the gods, lol. I might be making some extra money here soon....write me and I'll tell ya about it. I don't want this to be public. The guys will take it the wrong way....

hugs marie and karen.i hear ya on the financial crap.my moms health is up and down and i've been sick since Friday.
prayers to your daughter and your friend Marie..my daughter miscarried her first pregnancy.Broke my heart.

Hi (((cute))) I got a tenative job starting in about a week or two......write and I'll tell ya about it.

Sorry to hear you are still having troubles..... Seems so many of us are lately, that's why I've been praying so much. Lots of prayer requests....

I just read this entire post and it's nice to know that there are people out there that are dealing with the same issues as me. I am bipolar with an anxiety disorder and when I tell people that, I hate the looks I get.

Wow, what a different meeting I had today. My friend Kathy chewed my ass out for not giving her a hug the last meeting even before the meeting started. If it wasn't for the fact that I like her hugs so much I would of just said why don't you go hug your husband. I am finding that being a smart ass all the time isn't always the right thing to do. I know she and him both have their day in drug court. I told her that a wife doesn't have to testify against her husband and hopefully she will relay that to her husband that he doesn't have to testify against him. Gees, why can't the drug court give people who are trying to straighten out their lives out a break? If they could atleast give them a little slack. I am glad she is getting a separate lawyer. They are trying so hard to work their programs separately. I just hope they have the strength to endure drug court and get their lives back on track. I was so happy when the group told me that they miss me. Just when you think it time to throw in the towel and give up my higher power opens up another door for me to walk through. It is getting to be that closed doors are joke to me any more.
