Tripolar
first, i do not think mental illness is anything to joke about... as theres is no such thing as i know of as "Tripolar"
i have a sponsee, a manic, schizo, tripolar alk'y/addict... years of a few jails, and tons of institutions... in & out of the rooms for a number of years...
he has managed to have 120 days booze free... and takes his head meds... "as directed"
tonight, he told his story at the HG for the first time... i was so proud & happy for him...
dang, was he nerved up tho... lol
i'm posting this to show that it can be done...
with some love, understanding and kindness... shown by his family at the HG, and yes, from me...
ohoh, a good kick in the (_|_) once in awhile too... lol
all newcomers, and those who stil struggle...
never give up that hope...
all good wishes...
xxoo, rz

Great news re: sponsee..you done good Rust.
never heard of Tri..I am Bi...
A schizophrenic can hallucinate and have much paranoia..
I give him kudo's for being able and having the willingness to share at all
in front of a group!
(another of your sons..)
Love you,
IO

SS, i use the word Tri as a symbolism of the insanity in his head, and he loves the term...
it was huge what he did tonight...
yep, he now has the willingness... he knows where it will bring him if he goes back out... whats left... Death!
he's helping me more everyday we meet, more then i can express to him...

My heart goes out to him...
In my second rehab I made good friiends with a severe schizophrenic.
I still have my first Twelve and Twelve he signed.
He had a brilliant mind..and went off his meds to use meth...
He said if his mind went real fast the voices weren't so bad.
Again..my heart goes out...
Love

this is so good for me to read.... I, too, am bipolar. Someday's I wonder if I'll make it another day after one of my manic episodes, but this post and the many others fighting addiction and mental illness help me see that I'm ok and I can do this. Thank you for sharing this experience. It really helped me today.

Rusty i have had a miracle in my family, you know..i had somebody who was very sick...i don't like to use the words of the disease cuz they make me a little sad...but what matters is people said there was no way he could live a healthy and normal life...some wanted to put him in an institution...God is good..he is so ok...he is completely living a normal life....There are miracles when it comes to mental problems....doctors didn't believe it, but i did!we found a great doctor.... he's graduating soon....and he is better than me now..lol...God is good....so good...believe it..it can be ok..one of the things is letting go of all negative...i know it sounds weird..but i believe one of the reasons for mental ilness is the psychological torture in our own families....nobody is worth us loosing our minds..nobody...
take care, know that is possible, it happened right here in my close family

lol ..i was looking information becuase my gf has Bi polar.
I can't remember what page..
but i was searching under the human brain, brain cells and i link in .
but if you google under tri polar... it's come up.
The reason I did that was becuase i don't belive in bi polar.
I don't beliving in taking medication for my mental health.
I was puted on prozac to curve my depression..but i got hooked on it.
Just lately I've been hearing on the news that people are commiting
suiecide after being on anti-depressent drugs for so long.
Well..the tolerance level gose up as in alcohol or the meth i was using.
She was bouncing of the wall or went into a major depression
when she was put on her meds..and the doctor kept adjusting
her meds or ran a bounch od test on her...It's progress..at least
this doctor seem to care and at least trying to figure it out.
The priviouse Doc. just didn't give damn and just processed her
as another #.
There's been improvement and she's getting better..so there you go.
While i don't agree with it..i have to accept it.
This is the thing...I don't get involve with her recovery.
Her body chemitry is different then mine..
Her belief system or her understanding of a HP is different then mine.
While not taking any pills and using the steps to help me with
my problems was a chioce i made. I made those decision
not totally blinde.
Even her son..when i first got him...he was bounching off the wall
and he was lable with all kinds of disorders. So his dad put him
on meds just so he can behave...Well la dee freaken da..
every week we get him he was like a zombie or in a zone..
just like how I was when I was on prozac...just numb...i didn't
feel a damn thing.
When he finally came and lived with us..we took him off his meds..
yes..he acted up...Ahhh nothing more then just me spending time with
him and listening to him and rasing him cure that. And the concept
of a loving god...help too...lol
