My CPN think zoloft is making me hypomanic. Apparently I was talking very quickly, jumpy, could not sit still, and unable to concentrate at our meeting yesterday.
So I have to see the psych again on Monday. |

This. Despite what people think, BPD is scarily similar to an ASD, particularly Aspergers. |

| I had an episode of it this summer. I basically thought I was hearing peoples thoughts, became convinced that they were attempting to kill me or "push me over the edge with there thoughts", and announced that I was going to "take action before they did to protect myself" panicking my psych and almos... |

| I almost feel bad posting this, but I think I may finally be finding stability. And it's a relief. My psych is worried that the Sertaline/Zoloft hasn't had the full time to take effect yet, and it's going to cause a manic episode even with the sodium valproate/depakote. I'm slightly worried as well.... |

| I have high anxiety, depression and apparent bi-polar. I started taking a medication after years of denial (Atarax), but it seemed to make my heart flutter more, so I had to stop after getting the second container. I really need to try some antidepressants because I don't want a horrible year like ... |

| I've been given a higher dose of depakote, prescribed sertaline (zoloft) and told to come off the prozac. I'm scared. Prozac and Celexa both made me unwell and f****d up my moods. Celexa made me extremly angry and irritable. I was breaking things, aiming them across rooms, running away from home. Pr... |

Apointment thursday, massive bipolar breakdown today. Everyone seems to hate me and I feel useless. Depakote is making me sleep a lot as well. At least I don't feel sick anymore, I guess.
I still hate them, and I hate my psych. I hate everyone. I just seem to be failing at...everything. |

| Yup. Even sometimes on support forums, even on here, I'll come across posts that say "stay away from people that are bipolar" or "stay away from borderlines" because they'll f**k up your lives. They treat us as though we are not humans and capable of functioning. And these are the very same people t... |

This may seem like a stupid question, but how do I post?
Also, is it okay if I share the link on other sites? I know a few places. |

| Yes, he told me to watch myself carefully, and if anything seems to be going wrong, to let him know immediately and we'll change medication. I was really quite surprised that he doesn't prescribe lithium. I thought that was the standard. I asked him if this medication would prevent mania as well as... |

| I asked him about medication and to my surprise, he said he considers lithium to be a very outdated way of treating bipolar disorder. Instead, he gives his patients antidepressants, which he says level most people out so these extremes don't happen anymore. I had a bad experience with an SSRI years... |

I'd go with diagnosis withheld. I'm suggest calling it "Psychiatric doctors and there stuck up idealist BS" but it doesn't seem catchy.
As to where to go, no idea. Wordpress, blogger, tumblr? |

| Day three of taking depakote/sodium valproate, and I'm feeling sick. Constantly. all the time. I haven't been sick. I just feel like I'm going to be. Only side effect I've noticed so far though, no other horrid ones. Weird thought today, after that hypomanic episode I had, I'm almost scared that the... |

| Good luck. This psychologist actually told me that I should just self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, and tranquilizers. She said it obviously was enough to get me through it this time, so I should just stick with that and (what are the magic words?) "try not to worry about it." Great advice, doc. Re... |
