  1. I'm on the verge of being an unmedicated bipolar. I have less than fifteen days on my xyprexa and I don't know how much on my topamax I have left... I have no medical insurance - it ran out in February and I've pretty much been running on luck since then (with my meds slowing running out). I was wondering if there were any options out there left for me (example: herbals?) because even on xyprexa and topamax I'm cycling like crazy and I really don't want to hit a major low (or high)? I applied for disability but haven't heard anything back on it... It's the usual worries: I want to have control over my impulses, I don't want to become suicidal/homicidal, I want to be able to concentrate, I want to be comfortable to be around (for the most part), I don't want to have two-hour long crying spells, etc... Any suggestions?

    Looking for work

    I hear your frustration and I've got to say I empathize. I know job hunting these days is difficult enough even without something like that hanging overhead. There's a lot that our society struggles to come to grips with and find an appropriate black and white scale to match. I'm just sorry you had to find that out the hard way. Good luck though. Best wishes, Gen
  3. Hey, Ralph, at least you're having good ones in there too. That's something. If you're still thinking about suicide and you're on medication for depression you might want to talk to your doctor about changing your dose or what you're taking. Best wishes, Gen
  4. More from me It's My Life - Bon Jovi Times They Are Achangin' - Bob Dylan What Faith Can Do and Strong Tower- Kutless [some of these Christian bands just have it all, the right sound the right lyrics! Even as a pagan I can connect.] Words I Would Say - Sidewalk Prophets Every Man - Casting Crowns This Ain't Nothin' - Craig Morgan Colors, and Breathing Slowly - Crossfade And a latest favorite: My Best Days Are Ahead of Me - Danny Gokey
  5. I think that anything done in excess can be considered self-destructive behavior. Also, self-harm is usually done, for lack of a better term, emotional gratification - you're trying to make yourself feel better. If someone eats because they're trying to 'self-soothe' that's self-harm (in my humble opinion of course) especially if this method of coping is leading to unhealthy weight gain and/or other health issues. Hope I was of some help -Genesis

(Seriously, somebody says that -- often these days) *Life is what happens when we're busy making other plans - John Lennon (I think, not 100 percent sure) *Your plan B better be da** good 'cause my plan A got us into this mess. *You just keep on trying until you run out of cake. *I took the path less travelled, now I don't know where the he** I am. *Dyslexic Satan worshippers sell their souls to Santa. *Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
  7. Secrecy and Sex: Some people were raised believing that premartital sex was wrong/ immoral (with opposite gender or same gender). Though they may not still believe that to be true, some part of them does whether or not they realize it. Some believe physical intimacy between partners isn't supposed to be a public affair. Some are not comfortable with what they want sexually. Some people are too caught up in what other's might think if they know about what happens behind closed doors. Why all that is? I'm not sure if it dates all the way back to whatever we evolved from, but that's a very interesting theory. I've noticed some of the shames and secrets that people carry around with them have nothing to do with culture or raising, but with past experiences in life and conceptions about whomever they're speaking to. Euphemisms: there are a couple reasons for euphemisms as a general rule. One) sometimes you don't want someone else to overhear and know what you're talking about. Two) you are uncomfortable with yourself, the person you're talking about, the environment in which the conversation is taking place, or the topic itself. Three) some people are unsure what to refer the act of sex itself (or any specific activities therein) and/or are aware that what they might refer to it as might offend whomever their talking to. Personally, I think if you're doing it you should be able to talk about it with at least one person. If you can't, you probably need to re-evaluate what you're doing and why. -Genesis
  8. If child pornography is indeed what you were speaking of, I must agree with what urwhatuis said. Don't give them any incentive to continue their crimes. That said, another excellent reason to say away from those sites (other than obviously temptation) some law enforcement agencies monitor those sites. You're attracted to what you're attracted to, personally I cannot condemn anyone else's sexual attractions. Someone once said "The journey from your mind to your hands is shorter than you're thinking." So my only advice or suggestion to you is avoid tempting situations such a being alone with a minor. And find a therapist or at least someone that will hold you accountable for your actions regarding this part of your life. -Genesis
  9. I have yet to find any music that I find 'soothing' but these, for lack of a better term, help. Each song sort of launches my thinking in a better direction. One Day You Will - Lady Antebellum Never Alone- Barlow Girl God Don't Make Mistakes - Jamie O'Neal That's the Way it Is- Celine Dion anything done by Lifehouse (there's just something about the sound of the music and his voice that just get me) But preticularly Broken, If This is Goodbye, Storm, Spin, Sick Cycle Carosel, Who We Are, and Halfway Gone. Shine -Anna Nalick Somebody Said a Prayer - Billy Ray Cyrus The Climb - Miley Cyrus The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band Remember That - Jessica Simspon Move - Thousand Foot Krutch Always There - Todd Agnew Most of Jeremy Camp's stuff Plus One's Exodus album. I'm Alright, Pain to Kill, No Fear, and I've Got Better Things to Do - Terri Clark Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson Starting Over - Saliva And there are more
