Hi, Lamdage.
My memory is still pretty bad. If you described your illness in detail, I don't remember. Don't be insulted if I ask you to do it again.
I just happened to notice your treatment regime. It looks like something designed to treat schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. However, I don't recall how you experience your illness. For whatever value it may have, what has a doctor(s) diagnosed you as having?
Did you ever mention depression as being the challenge you are most impaired by? What is the biggest obstacle that prevents you from living the life you want?
- Scott

My illness is only 20% real and 80% constructed to discredit my claims about a powerful person.

> -undopaminergicI know however the context is too private. Because of that it made no sense saying it. I am actually looking more at what is healthy and try to nurture that. There are stressors that are beyond my control to some extent. In between I feel pretty well. I take the pills, however I dont pay too much attention.

Coming down is harder for me than getting up. Psychologically I changed so I dont feel the need for pharmaceutical uppers. They caused me much trouble. Originally I was down and anxious.

So I am the crazy one here now, huh? Are you saying no one ever got a schizo diagnosis in order to discredit them? Dont judge me because you dont know my story.

>I'm not sure what you're replying to, as you didn't quote anything, and seem to be replying to your own post.
In case it is my comment about your sounding delusional without further context, that's all I said -- I wasn't implying anything else. I'm not calling you crazy, I'm suggesting what you said *sounds* crazy. To avoid that, maybe you should have said it in another way.

> -undopaminergicHi Ud,
I admit I was being provocative because I dont like the diagnosis question. I feel that my diagnosis is much less an explanation for my struggle than what certain people do in my life. Cause and effect.
My biggest problem is not my illness. Its like punching someone and then saying that he has an illness where he gets bruises.
My diagnosis would allow for a decent life. I know because I am doing exceptionally well when I am left alone.

It is well treated. I dont need new meds, I need some freaking personal boundaries.

I have come out of the dark place. Yeah, I could move but why let another person dictate where I live? I am making friends and friendly acquaintances like never before. If I move I start from scratch.
