It is sooo hard to find peace, I know. Hopefully you can get relief soon. A big key piece is patience to find the right med and to really give each a try. And by all means in conjunction with therapy. (after trial and error of finding the right therapist for you). And then to stay with the med and the therapist for a good long time. Do you do any arts? I find that helps a lot for expression of something that can't be verbal. Yoga, exericise? I know these are simply supplemental and complementary things that you can do, but if they help, why not?
that's really all the advice I have.
good luck.

Believe me, I've been on just about every med. available! Feel like a guinea pig! Have been in, too many to count, treatment facilities, psy. dr's, medical dr's, and 30 day high dollar treatment clinics. I am so frustrated with "Mental Health" care in this country! I have continously received the same treatment and advice, obviously, it is not successful. Please, does any one have any other suggestions? Brain Mapping? Your input would be greatly appreciated!

There are others , can't remember. I have much support from family. Still live @ home. Did not graduate from HS. Started having major prob. 5 years ago. Seems like I'm stuck. Medical field just suggest the same treatment, over and over.
