I listened to a online radio show one day where the host has BP1. He told us a story about how he stopped taking his meds and end up on a manic high swing and when he crashed, he was on the other side of the country (America), he spiraled into a dark pit, his family had to track him down and get him home where he end up in the hospital and back on his meds again. BP is a serious illness that requires treatment and monitoring.
Years ago I outed myself here one day with having mental illness. After that, I had less than half the friends I had the day before. It was a good thing though because I knew then who had my back and who didn't. I always out myself wherever I go because of that reason. Because of my own problems in the past, I got a soft spot for "misfits" and strays. I like swapping stories with others and getting their insights on mental health.
Op, I don't think you are going to have much luck here, you can see what you are dealing with here. My advice to you would be to look for a more inclusive place and I think I will do the same.
I understand it. In my case, I have it under control with medications and therapy. Often though people have those conditions that are not well controlled and I do know what comes with that. Some people have mental illness and have no idea they have it and refuse treatment when confronted. Its a messed up area of medicine.
Another thing. Anger is unattractive, really unattractive. I been single since god knows when, I have mental health issues too and understand exactly the frustration you are feeling. Its no good to let it anger you though because like I said, its really unattractive to women. Take it in stride, maybe check out some support groups for your affliction. You can make good friends there and though its not for dating, it do happen.
Not only were you inside your mothers body during conception. you were also inside of your grandmother's body as a egg inside your mother. Women are born with all the eggs they will use in their life so that means you were once inside your grandmother as well as your mother.
Certain foods can have a effect on medications too. there is a common food that really enhances opioids. I won't say what it is here but if you eat this food with opioids, you could end up od'ing and die from it.
You have to watch supplements if you are on medication. I found a while ago that taking magnesium completely blocked out one of my antidepressant's and I was lucky I wasn't put in a straight jacket. I made the connection, stopped the supplement and in about a week, I was back to normal. Some other supplements can have the opposite effect and enhance other medications. You have to be careful when mixing supplements and medications. A pharmacist or doctor can help out there.
This may save your life one day or prevent you from getting caught in a bad situation. Very easy to do techniques that to my eyes, looks very effective.
We live in a chemical soup. No doubt as Jac said, modern life is playing a part of what is going on.
Not all that is modern is bad though. You go to any older grave yard and before vaccines became common, you will see a lot of children. Survival rate and life expectancy before modern medicine was a lot lower than it is now.
We don't know enough about the long term effects of a lot of what is around us and the only way to learn is with time. We need to redouble our studies into this stuff and maybe ease of the chemicals a bit.
