    they know, and they are trying their best....

    but hmm.

    well they can only try, and it's not working

    I think even they are starting to struggle... all these med adjustments and nothing seems to be the right one.

    and the only people I can really call on are my support forums online- so places like this

    What meds are you on/have you tried?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Have you spoken to a psych or is it "just" your GP in charge of your meds?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    a psych also

    I'd be worried if it was just my gp... the One I have can't even diagnose simple things

    paula, what meds havon't I tried

    I've been on mood stabilisers, anti depressants, sleep meds, anti anxiety meds, doctor is running out of options

    sometimes I feel like i'm 1 of these cases that are just.... untreatable

    let's face it- when I'm in hospital, even the staff are having their doubts about it

    You aren't "untreatable" I'm sure about that. Don't give up.

    ETA: Sweetheart I've seen on another thread that you've been in hospital. Are you OK? Do you have support? I'm glad you've come back....

    I was considered untreatable too. I’m now on a combination of meds that keeps me relatively stable most of the time. As my pdoc said to me, there is always something else out there to try

    so...

    not posted to this thread in a while

    going through a really bad case of the christmas blues, which has triggered, among other things, a case of overspending.

    on stuff I don't want

    unhealthy habbit, yes, and I don't have money I can just throw around on 10 cd sets of musical styles i've never heard of, but it's helping me cope with the emptyness of another christmas alone

    Sorry you're feeling down lovely... Did you ever think more about seeing if there were things you could join in with over the festivities?

    I posted in the other thread (coping with christmas) about where I am on that.

    but like I say... really remote area
