Why wear a ribbon?

"I wear the silver ribbon because I have paranoid schizophrenia. " (makamo66)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (bunny_fly)

 How do you deal with it

I am tired of feeling bad about my self all the time.

I feel like I have to put a front on all the time.

 Charlie450 welcome! I know what you mean. I feel as if I have to appear happy in front of certain ppl. Are you on any kind of medication?

I am but even with that, I still feel depressed. It is a hard disorder to deal with.

Feel free to PM me anytime!

 Hi Charlie. Sorry that you are having such a hard time. Are you on any medications? I know that believe it or not, they can help at times.

I am bipolar, but deal with the depressive side of it a LOT, so I understand how you are feeling.

When I'm at my worst, I pray to God at night to end it for me, because I'm too much of a coward to do it myself.

Right now, I am lucky because I am feeling a bit more stable. Hopefully I've got the right mix of meds.

Anyway, I hope you find support and some happiness and friends here.

 I know exactly what you mean, the way I deal with my problem is by not depriving myself of a good time. I use to feel guilty about going out and enjoying myself; well not anymore; sometimes you just need to let go.

 I know exactly what you mean, I too have this problem at times and the way I cope is by not depriving myself of a good time. Just last week I went out with a group of friends and had a great time; its been a long time since I actually enjoyed myself. Sometimes you just need to let go of whats bothering you and reward yourself; life is too short.

 Me too. Everyone is always asleep, even the dogs and I lay awake. This depression is stifling. Today has started out badly. My husband doesnt feel well and so he is grumpy and taking everything out on me, so my stress and anxiety levels go up and I start feeling that sense of wanting to just jump off a bridge. It is wierd how the stress can do this to a person. Immediately I got tense, my left arm and leg started hurting and now I am on my way to a migraine. Bad thing is I have to spend the day with him.

 i am sorry to hear about that. the jumping off a bridge thing is not a good idea though! just thought i would throw that out there! things are a little better this morning. still have that churning in my stomach though. not really sure what it is about though. can't really put my finger on it though. it sucks because i am usually pretty good at handling stress. but not know. it seems it has overwhelmed me know! hopefully i will eventually make it through. i just don't feel right inside.

 Glad you are doing a bit better. I am too. I decided to try to let the grumpy hubby just roll. Ignore him has been working so far.
