justifying schizo and bipolar as abnormal reasoning Posted: 02-28-08 19:02pm
Here we go. Don%u2019t exactly know where
to begin. When was the beginning? I
often feel like I do not know when I began
with this ride I so desperately want off
of. Never the less, apparently this is
not one of the factors you get to choose
in this game of %u201CYou-Be-Gone%u201D.
I have read many of the articles relating
to schizophrenia and Bipolar, both of
which I have been diagnosed with. I
often wondered if people knew they were
crazy. The answer is NO! If you are
anything like myself I often justify with
what I found out to be called
%u201CAbnormal Reasoning%u201D. You
don%u2019t want to believe anyone you know
and love could possibly do anything like
this to you but all of your senses tell
you that this could not be happening if it
were not real. I also find it beyond
unsettling to think that I have always
taken good care of myself and then to be
stricken with the worst possible attack of
the body. The MIND! Should anyone have a
brief synopsis of exactly what is
happening to me that does not require a
PhD I would love to have more
understanding than I%u2019ve had the time
in a visit to discuss with my doctor. I
appreciate any and all responses of a
genuine nature.

In very simplistic terms your brain
chemistry is goofy. You don't produce
neurotransmitters in the proper amounts
and it causes imbalances in your brain.
This, in turn, causes mood disorders and
schiophrenia. There is also, evidence that
points to structural differences in areas
of the brains of people that have mental
conditions. This gets pretty involved so I
will spare you the details. Suffice it to
say there is no cure. You can only treat
the conditions. Yes, it is a raw deal to
find that your brain is not functioning
properly. You can feel better, though, if
you get treatment.
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing
with this. Get treatment and live your
life. I hope this helped a bit.

Thank You for the compassion in your
response. This disease is one that is the
source of many a good joke I must admit.
Having it? Not funny. Thank you for the
information on the structural part of the
brain also. Have a great day.

Things are getting even worste for me now
that my problems with my knees is being
resolved...
At the start, they told me I was walking
and standing incorrectly...partly due to
my knees and partly due to flat arches.
Since I was given orthopedic inserts and
taught to walk and stand properly, it's
like "Wow! It used to take so much effort
to do these things and now it's not even
an issue any more! I don't have any more
pain/fatigue when walking/standing for
long and it just feels soooo
comfortable!".
What is causing me grief now, is that I
can't help but think that the same is true
for my mental stability...I SHOULD NOT
have to work so hard at my thaughts,
feelings and what not. I SHOULD NOT have
to feel this way.
I hope you find the answers you are
looking for...and be sure that I will
relate any helpfull tips to you! I know
how it feels...and I know how you don't
want to feel...
* HUGE HUGS *

Sorry to hear about yet another victim.
Time heals all wounds is very easy to say
but when every minute is a struggle it
seems as though you can't stand the
thought of another minute going by with
yourself in this condition. I'm so glad I
deciced to remain on the planet because
there are so many wonderful things I would
have missed. The ultimate to me would to
be able to truly feel like all the smiling
faces I see around me and to truly be
HAPPY on the inside. Faking it gets old.
I pray that anyone out there with these
feelings to be touched by the hand of God
and be healed before you find yourself
with the same temptation I had and
actually carry it out. Trust me, it's not
worth it and your everyday can be VICTORY!
I hope you all receive more blessings
than you can contain.
