| I don't know what your psychologist means by intrusive and impulsive. People can be impulsive when in a hypomanic or manic state, but I don't think it's a prerequisite. What you describe sounds like cyclothymia/bipolar but could also be borderline personality disorder, or even neither depending on h... |

I'm not sure... In 1919 I was living in Antarctica and we didn't really have access to popular music there. |

Yes, but doesn't everyone?
What types of clothes do you like to wear? |

| I developed a strange affinity with sun showers, as I felt they were an outside representation of what was going on inside me. Their contradictory and strange nature symbolized a personality of simultaneous lights and darks/highs and lows/joy and sadness (joy represented by the sun, sadness represen... |

| If you're suicidal please talk to a family member, friend, or psych about it!! Taking medication is not so bad, it just takes time to get it right. It took me almost 2 years to get my medication right but things are so much better now. |

| Bipolar people can vary. Unfortunately some (not all, but some) are toxic, especially those who refuse treatment and won't accept responsibility for their condition (or a subset those who cannot be treated - I think approx 30% of bipolar people don't respond to medication, who have severe/psychotic ... |

| I have bipolar 1. I've tried Risperdal, Abilify, Seroquel, and Saphris. Seroquel works for me, but I haven't gained weight on it. You could try zyprexa, which is also an atypical antipsychotic, although unfortunately it also seems to induce weight gain. What time of day do you take the medication? F... |

| Be cautious with Ritalin. I've been on and off it for a few years and it's been helpful to me, but I have ADD and it helps me with those symptoms. If you just have Aspergers I wouldn't recommend taking it - the side effects are not trivial. SSRIs can be dangerous too, i wouldn't recommend going nea... |

| Is there any way to try and stop your daughter going off her meds? Does she have a regular therapist she sees who could try and stress the importance of staying on medication at all times to her? This is really really important. |
