My dad is bipolar and an alcoholic...refused to take his meds... He was always attempting suicide, making threats, bleh. Of course I haven't seen him for years. He got a girlfriend who hated me. When I mean hated, I mean she despised me. Made him choose between the two of us and he chose her thinking I would stick around anyway. I left of course >.>;;. I was diagnosed with manic depression myself. I take Celexa for it. Used to take Zoloft but it gave me weird nightmares. I never cut that much but I did become anorexic. Got put in a rehab like hospital because I was 'suicidal' and weighed around 80lbs. Much better now though ^-^.

Feel for you AMK, I spent the better part of my teenage life in a drug and alcohol induced nitemare. Brought about by my father abandoning me as a child and the fact that my mother found her career and social life more important than raising her children.

By my mid twenties I realized that I was killing myself and was damn lucky I didnt end up dead or in prison.

Am now clean and sober, my body, my temple type thing.

I never did any cutting or anything like that, but I did get alot of tattoos, that always made me feel better.

I try and get a new one every year or so, just to remind myself of the pain that I dont feel anymore.

i've been a mental health counselor for about 20 years. i've seen everything. manic/depression is really really common. and probably the easiest illness to treat with meds.

that's the process. i work with lots of schizophrenics. they are really tough to work with. especially the ones who hear voices and answer them.
