Another Update *sigh*

Hmm... sounds like your brain chemistry got wacked out! :)

Like you said you were cycling, I'd say give your brain some time to "reset" for a while and if it lingers longer than it normally last, then go see a doctor about it. It's no fun though.
 
netrox,

My psychiatrist is trying to cut down my rapid cycling to once or twice a day by giving me this new med. So far I'm on day 3 and all seems to be well. I see him on Monday and am keeping track of my moods using an online mood chart. If I notice any differences between now and then, I will definitely bring it to his attention.

...and yes, my brain chemistry has been out of whack for a long time now. :giggle:
 
We are all here for you HA :D Whenever you feel down you know you can always PM me as well as Charlotte (as I could read through her miscellaneous posts).

I am glad I made you smile... I know probably not a lot since that is as good as I can do through thousands of miles of distance separating us :giggle:

Through your recent posts I can see already how positive you are at the moment!!! Keep being strong and don't give up! You have the entire AD group supporting you!

<hug> Jamie

Please don't flame me, but I really do think my med is working well. So far, this makes 3 days without any rapid cycling. This is great news because my psychiatrist's treatment goal is to reduce my cycling down to once or twice/day. Over the past 3 days, I haven't even cycled once. I'm also starting to look at this whole situation regarding my dizziness in a whole different light. There's a possibility that I could receive an even better map than the one I'm using now and given how determined my CI surgeon and audi seem to be in finding out what is responsible for causing my dizziness, I know I'm in good hands. :D
 
I'm glad to hear that you're doing so much better at the moment and I hope it continues and you improve so much.

Awww... but I couldn't resist! You seem to be doing so great and I think it is wonderful no matter how long it will or might last... hopefully for a while <cross fingers> :D

I know how good it makes somebody feel when you tell them how good they are! That's what I keep doing with my neighbor. She was doing great this morning while we were doing groceries :cool2: . I know that at some moment her health is going to go down once more (she currently has big heart issues), so why not tell her she looks good when she does? :D It makes the person feel happy :D

At least that's the way I see it... I can always stop praising you if that's what you want :giggle:

deafteen,

"Flame" is internet lingo (jargon) for a personal attack against another poster. When I ask people not to flame me, I am requesting that they don't attack me for mentioning my rapid cycling. (i.e. criticizing me or calling me names even though I've been guilty of doing this in the past on AD)

Jamie,

I'm sure the compliments you give your neighbor make her feel so much better! :D I used to do the same thing to my mother after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So many days were painfully difficult for her, but it felt good to hear her laugh and give her something to smile about. :)

If you have them, by all means, keep the compliments coming! LOL!
 
dreama,

I'm doing really well! <smile> I have sensitivity set to low on my CIs and am starting to get used to the way everything sounds. There are a few high frequencies that bother me, but as long as I keep sensitivity lowered, it's not as bad as it would be if I kept it at a medium or high setting.

dreama,

I couldn't agree with you more about writing being therapeutic. Unfortunately, my bipolar has kept me from my writing only because when I'm feeling depressed I don't have the motivation to and when I'm manic, I feel too exciteable and full of energy to sit down and write.

I'm glad you are find writing theraputic. How is your book going? This is just an idea but I think I remember you saying a while back that you were worried about how your family would react to you writing about your abuse. Anyway I was wondering if you'd ever thought of writing fiction. I mean writing about someone else experienceing the abuse. That way you can describe exactly what happened, and how it made you feel, without having to worry about people's reaction to it if ever got published. It's just an idea anyway. It also might help distance yourself.
 
dreama,

That's a very good idea. I'm currently writing a book about my experiences with bipolar and psychosis. I'm telling it from a first-person point of view and describing my experiences as they relate to being deafblind. So far, I've written 10 chapters. I don't know how long the book will be, but as long as I have something to say, I will keep writing and then condense it later when I think the manuscript is ready for publication.
