I have seroqual that is supposed to help reduce anxiety and lamotrogine as a mood stabilizer so you can tackle both problems at once

Yeah I could try sorting them both out.
I think I need to work out what's wrong with me first though. Or I might end up taking something meant for something which I don't have.

if you have a psychiatrist i strongly suggest you tell him your full symptons , there are many things that can cause mood swings, i think in fact they are a feature of AS , but the meds dont treat the actual illness they treat the symptons so a mood stabilizer will stabilize your moods wether you have bipolar or BPD for example .

Ive never been too fond of medication though. It almost always forcibly alters your body chemistry to correct a problem without solving the actual cause. Meaning if you ever get into a position where you cant take your medicine anymore your forked.

Personally I don't take any medicine for my issues and I'm just fine *twitch*.

Mostly :P

That's how I thought about it until a few weeks ago. But I could never find the cause of anything lol

BPD is borderline personality disorder .

I didnt want to take meds but in the end i had to because i just couldnt cope anymore and was suicidal . I have a bad track record with meds because i tend to stop them when i feel a little better and then shortly after come crashing down in a pretty epic way . This time im really trying hard to be good and take them every day , so far i havent missed any but it is a battle of wills .

Ive tried taking anti-depressants and the like in the past and I always hated it. It seemed even more fake than acting because I was fooling myself as well. The drugs were forcibly changing who I was and it was like I was mentally killing myself (or at least my base personality) to please others.

yes Fraya i know what you mean but depression and anxiety isnt always our base personality , we may just get so used to living with it that it feels like our personality, i know it does for me .

BPD and AS can apparantly be confused , although im not exactly sure how because to me they look different , but then i dont know any other aspies to be sure . google it and see what you think.

Wow, 27 page thread I actually read all the way through....so now I'm going to have an absurdly long post.

Sounds great until it happens, then it can either remain good or go a bit freaky.

If I PM them now though, they'll know it's them. I should probably just try and forget about it.
Although I've probably got loads of girls on here worried it's them now. :P

How do you know the only possible reaction is worry? :P

At this point I got the SQL error and began to hit my head against the wall...

I know, I'm only going to be able to PM men from now on. :P

Or you could PM a BUNCH of women, that way nobody would know for sure who the actual "target" was. :P

Anyone doing that runs the risk of having it not be them, which would be equally distressing and likely to cause them to not do it.

Now we get to the whole "START THE THREAD!" "NO!" "THEN I'LL START THE THREAD!" "NO" "YEAH YOU START THE THREAD" etc etc etc part.
Resisted throwing in an eye-roll. :P

No one's obsessed with Sopho. :(

Because there's no way that someone else could feel about you the way you feel about whoever it is you wanted to send a message to? For all you know, half the site is sitting at their computers trying to get the courage to send you a pm. :P (OK, ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but the point is there's no way of knowing, and with a site this size there's a good possibility there's at least one person.)

whew, 20 pages down, that's over half way! There's light at the end of the tunnel....AND IT IS A TRAIN!! !!1!1!ONE!!1!

Yes, it can be. For instance, worshipping me is a fantastic idea. Adds years to your life, does wonders for your health, and it makes you irresistible to others. So...everyone should start worshipping me about....now.

Sopho wrote:
By the way, does anyone here know why I keep getting really weird? Like last night, when I started this thread and when I was still confused and p*ssed off this morning and started the other one. I keep changing randomly into a different person then back again. And it's worrying. :?

I don't have an answer, but I do know the feeling. Realized that pretty well last night and this morning, though I almost don't even want to speak about what I wound up doing last night to anyone. Going to be a hard enough time hiding it when family gets here for graduation, I always think enough to make this kind of stupidity concealable though...

I'm starting to feel crap again now. :(
Sorry.


I know that you are on some meds, but I wonder if a change would benifit you. It sounds like you may need a mood stabalizer?

I know what you mean about rapidly swinging moods. I have the same sort of thing, I think I have severe reactive depression, I wonder if something you did or where exposed to or even "thought" triggered the "crappy" feelings?

I'm glad someone else suggested this. Talking with your psychiatrist about this, and about how a medication change might help, would be a good idea. Assuming you trust them, assuming it is more than a five-minute prescription writing session, and on and on and on.

But these can't reverse my unhappiness. It's the other way round. The more unhappy I am, the more I feel further from my interests.

Yeah, that's happened to me as well as of late, almost seems counterintuitive, but that's how it is.

Though I stopped taking meds a few years ago, by my own choice, I don't fully agree with you here. Medication may not always fix the problem, but it could get someone to a point where they can fix the problem, and then cut back the medication.

Wow, going full-circle now....
There's no way to get past an obsession forcibly. Well, ignoring things like some sort of behavioral therapy or something like that, but I don't believe there's much an individual can do to will away an obsession. At times I wish there were....

I think this is one of the longest posts I've ever made. >_<
