Im in so much emotional physical and existential pain and no one is can do anything. EVeryone tells me just change your thoughts and it will go away. Like i can just will this problem away. I am getting a sneaky fealing im going to be like this for a while wich is only causing me to get more down. Im being told that all i have to do is reach withing and i can make it go away and im am completely exhausted. My doctor cant help therapy is a waste of time so i am sitting here doing nothing without there seeming to be anything i can do to help myself with everyone telling that everything is just over the next horizon and i can break out of it any time i want. bs

I'm sorry you're feeling so miserable, Nightbender. "Emotional, physical and existential pain" sounds like a lot to deal with all at the same time. What's been happening to you to get you in that state? Sitting and doing nothing probably isn't helping, either- if I feel agitated, I feel better if I do something to keep myself busy. That might be hard if you're in a lot of physical pain, though. Sometimes writing things down in a journal or blog helps, too- it lets you get your thoughts into order. Regardless, it sounds like you need more help than you're getting at the moment.

Recently having had run out of suppressority nuerotransmitters it take for mood and sleep, longterm lack of normal sleep, lack of access to my mind thoughts /emotionals/ intellectual /stimulation/interests psychological function, without any near hope for improvement, the people i talk to for support are getting fed up with the lack of improvement on my end and i for lack of being able to report new things, fealing dimished and inadequate and questioning my ability to live indepeadantly and the inability to see the potential for improvement, as well as my brain being wrong from being obstructied from doing what mother nature should do, and stinking being numb all the time.

Why have you "run out" of your medications? Are you trying to withdraw from them, or haven't you been able to get organised to access them? Either way, it's understandable that you'd be feeling awful, especially if you're sleep-deprived.

Have you explained this to the people who support you? They can't really expect you to make exciting conversation if you're feeling so down. Maybe you need to do something to give yourself a boost- go and see a funny movie or listen to some new music or go get yourself a radical new haircut or something. At least you might feel a bit more alive and you'd have something to talk about. It sounds like you need to give your doctor a call, too.

Just remember, you're feeling "diminished and inadequate" because you're exhausted and miserable, NOT because you're actually inferior in any way.

I ran out because i cant remember to take care of them myself, no could i be organized enough to keep track i take about 45 a day so remeber every little one is nearly impossible. THere not so much medicines as much as nutrients though they perform a medicinal function.

Are these things that your doctor prescribed or are they your own idea? Your doctor should be able to help you to organise taking your nutrients if you're having trouble. 45 a day sounds like a LOT- you'd need a chart or system of some kind.

Your situation sounds very complicated. Why can't your brain heal itself?

just as was coming off meds i went back to nicotine and caffeine i got a reaction from each and just a those reaction where going away, i took this one supplement wich is supposed to regrow brain cells it did except if created a abnormal non functioning mass right where my dopamine nerves connect my frontal cortex to the rest of my brain, it screwed up normal recovery and the that reaction has not gone away and i have no idea how to break it down. In other words my nerves are prevented from resetting back to normal.

Has all of this been confirmed by a qualified doctor? It sounds very unusual. Maybe there are some other possible causes of your current physical and emotional state that need to be checked out.

I have prescription(s) too but I've been feeling really (unsure of emotion...sad?) and far too much. There's no neuro/psych that is even remotely reasonable (by this I mean Interior Alaska has LOUSY neuro/psychs - positively Autistic-Stupid...and scary) so I go to a MD.
