Welcome !

There's lots of good information in the files here, but you've done the most

important thing: taking back charge of your life. Yep, it's scary! But worth

it.

What a Gift to Find This Yahoo Group!

Hello. I was diagnosed 20 years ago with bipolar schizoaffective and have

had 2 hospitalizations since that time. I have been a really good patient

and took my medication as told but in January of this year, I really started

to question everything and have been working with a counselor to understand

myself more and see that I am not bipolar for life but have had extremes in

judgement and by consistently working with my higher self and connecting to

that place of peace, the adrenalin rush I have been on would cease. It has

been a very interesting journey. I have not reduced my mental health

medication as I have had a lot of sleep problems this year - but I think

most of that can be contributed to the continual questioning I have been

doing and an overall state of confusion. I have started on a homeopathic

last week and I am keeping on the path that the answer is not outside myself

but inside. It is a little scary to admit I am responsible for my life when

for so many years I honestly believed I had no control over what I may do in

life and at any time I could wind up in the hospital. It really is crazy

the things we tell ourselves so we can stay in our own mind's prison. I

have for many years only been on Carbamezapine, 800 mg per day but I added

back in Seroquel, 100 mg, Trazodone, 50 mg, and Lorazepam .5 mg, PRN

(Trazodone and Lorazepmam are new this year) when I started not being able

to sleep. Every day I had this feeling I would be going to the hospital or

something worse but I look at this now as that I am just not going 100 miles

another and working on another project to save the world and prove my worth.

Staying in this calm place feels good and I will start following the advice

as far as supplements and eating changes in preparation for reducing other

meds. Thank you for all of the information - this is great.
