hello babble, it's rj, its been a hard ride the past week, not as bad as before, but i am in the phase of getting full of hope and losing it like draining a bucket of water....
the medication im taking right now does not work, it only has a slight effect or to none, and i really think there's something wrong with the absorbation receptors in the Digestive tract, or something is not binding in the body to make it work, the zyprexa has slight effect.....i put under my tongue....its nasty....
i want this this all go back to normal, but i feel pretty down.....
never give up, successful people do not give up, so if you have, get out of it....thats what's trying to change in my own mind right now to get out of this horrible depression i've been in for 4 years.....the depths, the abyss, its the most miserable, non life feeling there is.....
fight for happiness

RJ,
I just wanted to say that I liked your post and that I think that you're right that those of us who are struggling with the symptoms of mental illness should keep fighting, no matter how frustrating things may get.
I've personally had enough of my medication, and I think that it might be doing more harm than good, but regardless of what I end up doing medication wise, I will heed your words to keep fighting.
Things can get hopeless when the tools to fight our mental health conditions don't seem to live up to a lot of the hype that seems to surround them, and sometimes we (our treatment professionals and ourselves) need to try less-than-conventional methods of pursuing mental well being. And a lot of the time, these less-than conventional methods are only so helpful, which can lead to even more frustration and hopelessness. Those of us with mental illnesses that are more or less resistant to treatment sure do get knocked down a lot, but it's our ability to get back up again and keep fighting that makes us strong.
Keep fighting, RJ.
Tomatheus
