Hello Bernie

Last November, but he's suffered since a teenager. His psychiotrist sorts his tablets out, his doctor usually refers him back to her and his psychologist is helping to get himself out of the downer when they occur, which is most of the time. He's not been on a high for along long time:o((

Brrrr.....there is still frost here, blooming cold!!!

jude :o)

I think the worst thing or myslf and probably others feel the sam is ive been on such a high for the last three weeks ow im on a downer again with bad nxiety and paranoia justtrying not to end up in bed andso far so good,Isnt it cold today just to change the subjet lol

Hello Bernie

My son has bipola, so l can understand abit as to how you feel, and l have depression, which is good at present.
My son is on 3 types of tablets, the mood swing ones have just been upt and made a wee bit of a difference, fingers x'd he keeps improving:o)
l am sorry to hear you are feeling this bad. They're quite a few bipola sufferers on this thread,l'm sure they can offer support. Keep talking to people about it and try and have something to focus on, have a list of things to achieve in a week or a month or even a day. Good luck and take care:o)
Are you on medication?

Hello everyone - l do hope you are feeling abit better today.

Through looking at Fiona Phillips column in the Daily Mirror today I have found out that the Lancet have carried out some investigation into the incidence of child abuse,including psychological abuse.

It is expensive to read the Lancet online so I must find a kind doctor somewhere or see if they keep it in the library but the Lancet has a whole series of articles they are currently running on the subject.

Let us hope that the medical profession is finally realizing that psychological abuse is as cruel and destructive as any other kind and that future generations will have somebody to fight their corner against the cruelty that some on here have experienced.

Dear Deanna, I have to say I am thrilled - and amazed - at how far you've come in a relatively short time. Give yourself a pat on the back (on second thought make it a virtual one) - determination wins . . .
what a joyous Christmas this will be for your family - to have your presence and sense of humour . . . .
be good to yourself,
lots of love,
Mary

Hi Jude, nice to see you posting again.


Sharron, you are doing a brilliant job with your Dad, and he would be worried if you changed your ways eh? Would wonder what was going on if you went soft on him! Keep up the good work.

love to all

Lizxx

Oh but you do care Sharron, otherwise you wouldn't bother. I am more like you, do feel for people and with OH and family give sympathy to a point. But I too am more inclined to be practical. I am sure your dad would not have got on so well if you had gone down the 'there there' route.

Sadly,not one of Nature's carers.

Can't do "there,there" but more into the 'That's a challenge,how are we going to deal with it?' mode.

I'm sure,if he had time,he could become very depressed.The trick is to keep him challenged and busy so that he has no time to mope.

We must,all on this thread,be aware of how easy it is to dwell on our misfortunes.Can you imagine what fun he would be to live with then.

ooooh Sharron you are scarey!! soft as butter really I'm sure!

Good on ya Deanna.Nothing wrong with your post at all.

Do you find you forget about a letter? My dad spent hours trying to write out the alphabet and never had the right number of letters in it.It did get him writing with his left hand though.

He will be doing his Christmas cards later.That'll 'ave 'im!

Hello Liz,(Purple) how are you?? Take care.

jude :o) xx

Eileen, good to see you posting and hope you enjoy the get together, try not to wear yourself out.

Deanna, you are doing so well and taking your time to find the right key, is keeping you out of mischief anywhere else lol
Take care everyone, Ann, hope your cold goes soon.
love
Lizxx


did get out to Debenhams for some bargains, got some nice things for my son and for o.h. who is very hard to buy for clotheswise. Also found a nice little watch for me, which my son 'owed' me from my birthday as I hadn't been able to find one I like, got 20% off so he was happy to pay for it.
