MDJunction to me

Storm6751"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

Sure do have memory problems.....hum.....Mariel? Smile

Although jokes aside, I do indeed have memory probs which I put down to Seroquel and Lamictal. Well I hope they are responsible.

One thing I always have a problem with and that is remmebering the name of the person here I am responding too. Some are very difficult I need to go back and do bit of copying and pasting.

I just hope that we can remember just where we put our memories!

Good hunting,

I have severe short term memory problems and have had this issue ever since I started taking meds for bipolar 3 years ago. I compensate for this by writing everything down on my PDA or computer and write "to do" lists. Without either of them, I would be a lost cause.

I've had severe short-term memory loss since starting meds back in 2005. I can't even finish a sentence without forgetting what at least one word was that I was trying to say.

I have a hard time keeping track of who has what going on here. It's very embarassing and I hate it. I can read all day, but in the end I don't remember who said what.
