Title: Going to stay in a hospital for a week or so, get back on meds
Post by: Shawn Sunshine on March 25, 2013, 02:57:52 PM
:embarrassed: I will be voluntarily checking myself in to the behavioral health at Hunt Regional , to get back on Latuda, hopefully , I have not been feeling that great since I have been back and I just haven't found any answers for my bi polar condition, let alone really addressed my gender issues. Anyways, I am still alive and here , just letting you all know my status.


God Bless  :angel:

Here's a hug for you:

I had to do that myself, once. Though it wasn't voluntary, and I wish that I had sorted out some of my gender identity issues while I was there. But at that point in time I was more interested in doing harm to myself than anything else.

Hi Shawn,

Self preservation, you are doing the right thing. I have a friend of mine, he was bi-polar, manic depressive at 20 years of age, on meds, I think he broke down around age 40. I didn't know him when he was first diagnosed, met him in the late 70's. The seond time, he just disappeared, only found out after he came back in my wife & my life, that he was suicidal, lost his business, was in a support home for a while. He finally grabbed hold of his life, actually somehow found a way to be off his meds, surprisingly his conditions, he overcame & they disappeared. He rebuilt his life, started his business anew. He is a motivational speaker and is involved with organizations regarding depression, spreading the word, been interviewed by the media on mental health awareness. We are close friends, see each other every other month. We have gone to meetings that he has given speeches. He is my hero.

So there is hope that your condition may go away. You have my heartfelt Best wishes that you have a good life ahead for you.
Bless you too!
Jamie

I am back and mentally healthier, still always something to work on and stuff coming my way (like if i can pay rent this week, since my check didn't come) but hey I am on some new meds now and maybe these will help (taking Latuda and Zoloft) to deal with my bi polar issues, which will let me see clearer my gender issues by dealing with this 1st.
