> If anyone has, can you tell me how it's done so I can quiet my critics?My feelings are simply that, feelings of what has worked for me periodically. Granted, I too take meds to aid in helping my bipolar, ADD and depression. For me, I also feel that a bit of cognitive thinking helps me as well. Case in point, I will not accept or tolerate my pdoc expressing to me that I can change or eleviate my diagnosis or anything of the sort. What I can do is meditate when I'm feeling antsy, talk to a best friend when I want to isolate, tell myself when I can't remember a darn thing, even if it's written down. Okay rina, your just having a bad ADD day. My personal thoughts help me think of ways I can possibly aid in feeling better. I've taken the gamit of coctail meds and believe there is no magic pill, but the mind is a powerful thing. I sit and think sometimes, wow some of the greatest scientists, doctors, lawyers etc are dealing with the same situation as myself. They are no greater or less than myself. Like I said there is no cure but I can definitely continue to try and make life more productive and funtional for me to live. Just my own experience and point of view.
