Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "I wear the green ribbon for al the mental health issues this country has." (rporter7482)

MDJunction to me

jpcrps"When I found MD Junction, I was in the beginning stages of RSD/CRPS. I was scared, lacked knowledge about the condition, and felt very alone.

MD Junction changed all of that for me. I found friendship and terrific information from people who had first-hand knowledge of this syndrome. It was and still is a big part of my life.

MDJ was my first step on the journey of grief; from denial to acceptance. I am now inspired to help others by sharing this amazing site and sharing my own experiences. I am very impressed that one forum site can provide hope and inspiration to people suffering from so many different conditions. I am proud to be a part of this community.

How is everybody doing? I hope you all are having a good night. I'm feeling good right now. I brought my meds up and it's been going good so far. I started working out again and that's helping me too.

Thank you all for supporting me in my times of need Smile

I am also quite fine, kind of tired though recently, but I am taking long weekend to dedicate it to myself and to relax.

I will support you in your times of need, as well Smile

I'm glad you're doing well yotaman. I'm doing fairly well too. Neither depressed nor hypo/manic. I've had some lethargy and motivation problems, but they're improving too. I'm applying for a volunteer assignment at my local hospital. I hope I get it. Then I'll think about a part-time job. That will be a real sign that I'm getting back to normal.
Bipolar 1, Simple Partial Seizures, and migraines

Psychiatric meds:

Lithium ER (900 mg)*Tegretol XR (1400 mg)*Lamictal (100 mg)*Geodon (160 mg)*Navane (5 mg)*Seroquel XR (100 mg)*Klonopin (.5 mg)

Ativan 1 mg "as needed" (I rarely take it.)*Seroquel regular 50 mg "as needed" (Only if I'm getting elevated.)

Other meds:

Propranolol (40 mg)*Levothyroxine (150 mcg)

My mix is side effect friendly for me.
