Ladies, Mrs Chima has the right to her opinions, while the contents of the those opinions might be up for debate, it is still hers. No need for personal attacks. Please. Mrs Chima, I'm sure these ladies here have heard of adoption, discussed it and thought about it, but still chose to continue on this process, that i think, is something that should be respected. Infertility is a difficult and personal struggle and unless you have being in those shoes and walked in them, you might never truly understand how this ladies here feel or anyone else with such pain. It is even more painful being a Nigerian woman with such difficulty. so, your adoption comments, may seem harmless and it is, the appropriateness of place and timing of it, might be a bit insensitive. you can always start up a thread on adoption and discuss it in full length. And if i may add, adoption these days is just as tedious, costly and emotionally draining as these fertility treatments and this something most people aren't aware of especially those who find it easy to suggest such options to anyone going through infertility-- ---------- Please this is a SUPPORT thread for these ladies who chose this process fully aware of other options. Let's try hard and stick to it. ------- |

ehie: i have some questions is there a quiet phase,can one get well without lithum or any treatment.how can one get a proper diagnosis instead of self diagnosing care usually depend on the phase of the disease the person is experiencing. During the ACUTE PHASE which is characterized by acute mania, the main goal of tx is reduction of mania symptoms During the MAINTENANCE PHASE characterized by increased ability to function, relapse prevention through medication therapy, psychotherapy and education is the goal of tx lastly, during the CONTINUATION PHASE characterized by remission of symptoms, tx generally continues throughout the person's lifetime.and prevention of future manic episodes is the goal tx. if you dont mind me asking, were you dx by a psychiatrist, and are you seeing one now 2 Likes |

tee_sexy: As someone who has been diagnosed with BP, it is a very challenging issue with varying highs and lows. Currently on lithium, sodium valporate and Lamotrigine. It affected my marriage and is very disruptive especially the highs and lows after each other. Have seen psychologists as well. Self management is key even though at times it is hard to be bothered. Awareness and understanding and good family, mental health team, friends support network really helps too. Over 11 yrs now with a few admissions, initial ones more extreme. Was preparing for a sports competition on 1st admission. It is now easier but not simpler. In the time I have finished DegreeN while working part time, finished Msc (part time) while working full time and with a very young family. Stress is sometimes a trigger and I have never smoked weed. Glad to see positive and informed comments on NL. Hope this helps with ur quest for answers and it is something that needs to be Discussed and aired, as sometimes we just cover it up as Kolo, madness or someone doin u. Still trusting God for total healing. And to g*** spoilers pls add something productive and helpful even if u want to mention d now unmentionable . Will see if I can add some websites Thanks for sharing your experience. Mental health disorder discussion is something people shy away because of our society perception of people with such yet it is something many people struggle with everyday. more open discussion is certainly needed on mental health disorders because it is real and nothing to be ashamed of and there is help and treatment available for suffers 1 Like |

ACM10: Many posters has done so much justice to this topic that there is little or nothing left for me to add. Say only what you are certainly sure of please. it is not part of normal course of treatment but can be used in extreme manic behavior to help subdue it when mood stabilizers and other pharmacological therapy have failed. note the keywords there-'extreme' and 'failure' of mood stabilizers. it may also used for people who are suicidal or those with rapid cycling |

Tgirl4real: not surprising especially given our culture and view of women. our culture generally don't encourage assertive communication in girls/women at least the older generation. so when you are that assertive, more than likely it will be misconstrued as being more on the aggressive side esp as a woman.not denying the fact there are certain ppl who can fall on the extreme side of each though. take your time with the school search. i wouldnt encourage up/down change too unless it is absolutely necessary |
