psychosis will sometimes pass with time, usually needs meds. But I'm hard to medicate. I often end up on meds like thorazine, prolixin, haldol. Things you don't want to take. But it's starting look like I have no choice. I have lots of playdoh. And lots of coloring books. I've been sitting with my d...

I'm really glad I took the time to read this post.

Craving sugar can be low blood sugar....or depending on the type of sugery item you are craving it can mean a variety of other things. It might be a good idea t...

*warm hugs*

It's nice to find another person grieving. Although I'm just grieving over loss of a beloved neighbor dog that I often took care of, and it seems like such a nothing compared to what you're dealing with, I don't deal well with death.

Comfort *SU*

I'm feeling SU and really need comfort. I respond mostly to touch, but I've got no one in my family who really gives hugs or who would sit and hold me. I have I special pillow that is filled with rice and heats up and is comforting, but what else can I use? (I've already taken a shower and fixed my ...

I'd get up and leave the computer to do something comforting, but when I'm like this I first need to calm down more or else I will hurt myself. I know myself well enough to know that.

I really think mods and admins need do a lot to keep the boards safe, but I'm no longer comfortable on main. Just seeing post subjects and I'm tense and freaked out and suddenly feel my po...
