Yes, it makes sense to me. And you are a deprogrammer I believe.
Interesting.
Perhaps you might want to look up a book?
It’s called Zonpower: Neotech.
That might help you gain the top dog position.
I am unfamiliar with any damaging effects of abruptly stopping wellbutrin. I see no adverse effects yet. At least the ringing in my ears is going away. (HOORAY!).
If I can understand the problem I can control it. I just don’t understand what the problems are so I seek medical assistance.
I have not been on wellbutrin for very long. a couple of months I think. Citalopram is a different story. I have been on that at least 6 months.
More on body damage…
I have been poisoned twice, bombarded with nuclear radiation and several other problems in my life. I am 50 right now.
I survived 2 gasoline explosions too. A 15 foot fall off a ladder. All kinds of things.
I survived them all. The lead poisoning however seems to have caused some sort of irreparable damage. I can compensate for the damage, but it’s a daily thing.
I expect my life will terminate in about 15 years roughly. Too much damage already. And diabetes makes the aging process accelerate. At least I had a fair life.
I have to go for now. haven’t eating all day. Only had 2 large coffee’s. Thinking about eating some chocolate ice cream
Hi Helen! I am so glad you posted! I don’t now a heck of alot about type 1 bipolar…as I was only interested in finding out what was going on with me! (selfish i know teeheee)
What I do know for certain is that MANY peoplewho have diabetes do suffer fromdepression… the jury is still out on which comes first. Kinda like the chicken or egg dilemma!!! As with diabetes… depression and meds are going to be different for each person…it’s a trial and error kinda ride.
But as you said… it is great to talk about it and compare notes and as you said… if there is anyone out there who has this on top of diabetes… I am able to assist in sharing knowledge as well!!
Hey, you know, the pastor of my church (who I am really close to) said maybe the diabetes has been lingering and is stressing out my other disorders, Bipolar and depression being some of those . . . I don’t know, but now that I do know, waiting to get treatment for the diabetes is hard but I hope it will be worth it in the end. Type 1 bipolar disorder SUCKS, if you don’t have a good plan of treatment, of course which no one does at first, LOL. But, its been a long road on that, and it never goes away . . .
You aren’t selfish for wanting to know only about what was going on with you, you just wanted to learn what was going on with you! I think now that if I had really taken the time to learn more about the issues of diabetes because I knew so many people with it, it may be helping me now . . . But unfortunatley, I didn’t think of that because I didn’t think it would happen to me. I feel stupid for thinking it wouldn’t happen to me. LOL. Oh well.
I am glad you have someone to confide in. I know its not easy discussing our disorder with people, as it seems to have a stigma attached to it… heck. I was one of those people! When my Dr. told me thats what I had…all I could think about was my neighbor that I had years ago… she was…so out of it most days I really believe she should have been in a care facillity. But then he explained that firstly… I had type 2 which is different than type 1. and also it affects people differently… so the instance of my neighbor, who was ALWAYS making a ruckous or acting inappropriate…would of course be what I would notice…as the other people who had control of it… you wouldnt notice! Makes sense to me!
And you are not stupid anymore than I am selfish…it was more tongue in cheek remark!
I have learned to use humor to cope with all of this…and I hope that the people here will enjoy my cheekyness!
Yes, it is true that Bipolar 1 disorder can be associated with the “bad” bipolar because at times it can be like being schizophrenic. And very few poeople I have known with Bipolar 1 disorder actually have it managed as well as I do, because they are lacking something in their treatment plans and goals. I believe that half of having bipolar disorder is educating yourself and others, and then accepting responsibility if you do something that may not be the greatest decision. I had an ex-boyfriend who would (and to my knowledge still does to this day) blame literally every bad thing he ever did or does on his bipolar disorder. I have learned that there are consequences to our actions and even with bipolar disorder or anything else, you have to deal with it and not blame everyone or everything for something you did. I mean, obviously sometimes the disorder causes it, but you have to learn to accept it for what it is. I am very blessed with a great fiancee’ and a wonderful 2 year old daughter, and my aunt and uncle, who support me and know about my medical issues, so they know if something is wrong and can help if there is something wrong. Some people don’t have that.
There is a huge stigma revolving around Bipolar disorder, and you would be amazed at how many people actually have it and you can’t tell because they are treated, and they don’t tell anyone. Kinda like my fibromyalgia which has a huge stigma too, but I can’t hide that, plus I have so much other crap that I can’t really be treated either. But I’m used to it and thats why I aim to educate.
I enjoy the cheekyness, I use a lot of humor too, usually. I’m just tired. LOL.
I have a lot, maybe I should just make a blog about it. Or maybe a blog about each one. LOL. Thanks for the hugs, I can use all of those I can get. Its all good though. I believe God doesn’t give me anything or more than I can’t handle.
I feel stupid for thinking it wouldn’t happen to me. LOL. Oh well.
