In brighter news I've kicked my drinking habit and am working out again! And I'm getting a group of friends back together. My personal life is fine, it's my professional life that sucks rear end

I still get the credits but my GPA is gonna be pulled down to the point that I should probably retake them. Especially since this is law school and the material in question is going to come up in the bar exam.

Especially since this is law school and the material in question is going to come up in the bar exam. That seems very doable, if unfortunately pricey. And should you take them the second time around, you'll both have the knowledge of the first run-through and an idea of what worked and what didn't when studying. Might set you up to be better equipped for the bar than taking it only once, even with a high grade.

Reposting sections of the OP: quote:It is important to remember that SA's community is not designed to provide therapy or psychiatric advice, nor should it be a substitute for valid professional psychiatric care. If you feel like you need help, we strongly recommend that you seek out professional help through some resources that we have listed below: quote:everything is awful get me off of this planet This is the internet, and I can't make you do anything. But, before you do anything, please at least call the number above and talk to someone. And, if you can manage that and afford it, try an in-patient stay at the hospital. They're there to help.

need to add this so you guys know what happened and why. forums policy (as I understand it) for a user who is actively, openly suicidal is a probation with a list of resources. besides liabilities issues, we’ve got to get you off the forums and back into real life with the resources you need to get help. I am very lax on the probate button here, including comedy probations, but this is an unfortunate necessity. please don’t be scared to post here though if you’re going through rough times. however, understand that during moments of extreme crisis, the forums are probably the last place you should be around, especially cspam. thanks for your understanding and patience.

Chokes McGee posted:I mentioned it in the OP but I'm becoming more and more convinced a lot of issues can be resolved by cutting sugar intake back like a massive amount. It's stunning how much sugar is in things that you don't realize until you look for it. I've been doing a ton of research into bipolar / depression and Endocrinology and there's all these studies showing glucocorticoid receptor (cortisol receptor, heavily responsible for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism) polymorphisms in people with major depressive disorder and especially bipolar. I'm becoming more and more convinced bipolar is actually a metabolic disorder in the brain. I know when I'll depressed I have literally no appetite and struggle to eat but somehow stay weight neutral or even gain weight and when I'm hypo or manic I eat everything in sight but manage to usually lose weight or put on muscle. It got me thinking... the most effective antidepressants also cause weight gain and you can almost gauge their effectiveness based on that... what if they work mostly because they just make depressed people eat more  The only weight neutral drug that works for bipolar is lithium and it's been shown to heavily alter thyroid function. I know I feel better in general when I switch to a diet high in complex carbs. I focus better, my mood is better, everything. Take my mad ramblings for what you will but at the very least cleaning up ones diet can't hurt.

My personal life is fine, it's my professional life that sucks rear end congrats, booze is a demon that will sap your strength I'm on the same boat right now except with all drugs  I've not touched a stimulant, dissociative or gabaergic for weeks. I've limited my drinking to parties only (once a week, less than 10 standard drinks) My social life is finally coming back together and I'm putting my poo poo back together to go back to school

I'm becoming more and more convinced bipolar is actually a metabolic disorder in the brain. what's odd about that is bipolar actually causes permanent changes to the brain if not regulated by medication. (See a psychiatrist, kids!) Maybe we should start selling an SA brand of food for bipolar peeps. Someone get plinkey on the horn, I don't know how but there's gonna be jerky involved

Chokes McGee posted:what's odd about that is bipolar actually causes permanent changes to the brain if not regulated by medication. (See a psychiatrist, kids!) Yeah, you see certain areas atrophy and fMRI shows decreased energy metabolism over time. IMO this is still in line with it being metabolic. You look at other metabolic disorders like Cushing's or Addison's and there's all kinds of weird stuff like that (Cushing's causes limb muscles to atrophy but the torso gains fat etc) I gotta dive more but most of this stuff is only published within the past 6-12 months. I'm holding out hope that we might see some kind of selective glucocorticoid agonist that treats tons of the negative symptoms of Bipolar without all the side effects.

I can't take it anymore. I am alone because I have no life and I have no life because I am alone. Therapy is not working. Society might genuinely collapse in the next decade. The few people I mention this to refuse to believe it. No one cares about my wellbeing but care enough about whether I die that I am still trapped here for their sake. Help.

I got a weird question for you guys So my mom has been going slightly..weird with vitamin cure all things and when I mentioned some of my problems she made me a care package of vitamins, the Dr Atkins book and a book called the Mood Cure, she gave me a bottle of "Gaba", a bottle of magnesium, and a bottle of HTP 5 Do anyone of these things actually have any sort of tangible benefit or is it all just snake oil?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record check the op and feel free to give the crisis center a call. you don’t have to wait until you’re ready to off yourself, believe me. Nows the time to call before you get there. Have you see a psychiatrist yet?

Yes but as I have repeatedly mentioned in several threads already he prescribed me generic Prozac, it stopped working, I told him this and in our next appointment he just went "well you sound better to me. I guess we can stop"

I strongly urge you to look for another one. It does help, you just might have to fire one or two along the way.

Mordor She Wrote posted:I got a weird question for you guys GABA can't cross the blood brain barrier so it won't do anything. Supplementing magnesium is generally an okay idea, it can autoregulate some receptors in the brain and helps offset excess sodium intake, helping with electrolyte balance. 5-HTP is legitimately psychoactive and is known to cause manic episodes in Bipolar people. It can also make you poo poo uncontrollably if you take too much. That being said it has be shown to be a low level mood booster if your serotonin levels are low.
