Remember: you can fire a therapist and find another. The purpose of therapy is to help *you,* and if this one isn't, there's another out there who will.
2. I believe that some of your behavior contributes to your unhappiness. Jogging late at night and then getting on the computer doesn't sound as though it would be conducive to a healthy sleep pattern, and sleep patterns contribute to mood disorders. It might be worth examining areas in which your behavioral choices work against you.
3. Are you still in school? I think you've said you're working now, and living with a family member? Do you find that you have adequate structure to your life? That can be very helpful in combating mood disorders.
I truly wish I could help you. I sincerely wish you the very best luck.

This is some i need to discuss with....my someone exept my therpist. I usally work, days things must be done, fast, quick, and accurate. And, he...i understand he has a very low-peaceful life, but i dont think he understands what i tell him. I respect him, i dont argue, i just....need another therpist.
And still yes, i am at home, things are better, but i'm getting out, its almost 2009...that's why i really have been unhapp/miserable in my mind about aspect of life.
Prozac 80mg.....is alot, that's i think the highest dose recommended for severe depression. Well, Prozac does not really lift my mood, it just "flats" out somethings.....plus Dexedrine which, i dont understand why my psychiatrist, put's me on 3 spansules but do give the correct dose....
1 15mg Spanule is basically 7.5mg of d-amphetamine is immidiate taken, then after 7.5mg is slowy released.And....the dose needs to be matienced....but in itself, he's not treating correct, for "sustanied attention"
This morning, i took 3 spansules, which is 45mg(in spansule form, not tablet) so it releases half of 45mg....which is 22.5mg. That's the only way, i can really funtion, improved at work with just keeping on task...
But, with all this, i have such a negative feeling in my head, which i can't really describe how i feel.
I had brain scan....there was tumor in the back part of the brain through the CAT scan (when i was in a car wreck, they just tested to see if i fractured my skull or something) they found that.
Now....that really can contribe. But also, what i want to know, can amphetamine cause a stroke? and damgage parts of the brain like a "communication" "personality", just in general?
2005, i was fine, my speech was fine, but in 2007....i started to get bad speech problems.
So, to get really to the bottem line, i just stayed idle for a long time, and this is a result...of doing that. More stress, and more negative feelings. I have to act like i'm someone else because my mood is so horrible, go off the Prozac, and request in distress for a Electric Shock Treatment. Now....what benefits are there to the EST, i know there is some with memory because i read the FDA "memory impairment was included at times with EST"
That' it.
wish me luck....
