Don't be so hard on yourself.
Have you ever been on luvox? This med is an antidepressant, but sometimes helps antipsychotics work better at lowers doses.
If you're ever in the area you're welcome to stop by for some coffee.

sorry for your pain. my therapist told me to not think about the pain of others because it makes me more depressed.

I really hope you can find some relief and peace of mind soon. I'm sorry for your pain and sadness. No one should go through what you are going through.

Are you out of the hospital? And in therapy? Those would be good things. What meds are you on now?

> Don't be so hard on yourself.
I would completely agree.
I could also describe myself, and I frequently see in the negative.... when you have a serious mental illness it is hard to step outside of yourself and not define yourself by the illness but by your personality, your traits, your humanity.
I mean I've been in therapy a long while and I've also had an illness for close to 8 years.
I am extremely overweight, conscious of that, very emotional and have primary and secondary depression (because of my illness and all that as come with it), I have a psychosis NOS (which doesn't mean I am not aware of it and it also doesn't fit into a category), and I am terribly lonely because its hard to make new friends, it takes time -- and I try to cling on to what friends I have, however imperfect and not say anything "too heavy" because I really don't have anyone that close outside of my therapy/family circle. I seem to lose people if I do.
And things seem to be getting worse, whether true or not. Its scary. And I can understand that feeling.
But it doesn't serve me any purpose to immerse myself in those thoughts 24/7 just like the illness is 24/7.
I know its hard to pull out of the deepness -- I am still trying.
Its no flaw in you I'm saying... its giving things a chance, a hope, a try, in the Here and Now.
-- much wishesJay

> i'm fat, sad, ugly depressed, psychotic, lonely
Hi friend, what sort of psychotic symptoms do you have?
> and i'm in fracking therapy. it simply does not work i see too much people suffering in jezus name i think ...I myself have little confidence in therapy, especially if one is not stabalized somewhat pre-therapy. This applies especially for psychosis...
I would suggest finding the best med for you personally at the moment.> if i try this seroquel XR high dosage i will have heart palpilations and severe tachardia
What dose have you been instructed to take?
Severe tachycardia would require a pretty high dose. However the benefits you recieve may outweigh the side effects...
> what kind of barbaric mental treatments are theseUnfortunately, science is no where near the level where we can precisely diagnose, let alone treat, mental illness.
The s/effects can be bad, but I have certainly seen many cases of meds having a wonderful effect. Try not to loose faith!

Ace
