>...But, the point is that a newer style anti-psychotic at a very low dose really doesn't pose much of a risk of that at all.

Well, it doesn't really matter what you or I think...it's kind of all up to the docs. I can't make them give me something if it is not what they believe is right for me.

So far it have been SSRI, SSRI and a tiny bit of propranolol (probably more for placebo effect than anything else!)

> That being said, sometimes mood stabilisers or anti-depressents can help with that too. Its just finding what works for you.

Perhaps I'm not really as disordered as I seem to think...maybe that is why I don't need mood stabilizers or antipsychotics. :-)

I just don't really get it though...other people who are on so many medications just seem so much more functional than I am.

> my t tried to teach me that when you are in a good mood can be the best time to look at what happened when things went wrong. it can be the best time to plan and put safegards in (like working out triggers - like organising a p-doc and getting meds sorted).

That makes sense, but it seems so strange to ask for help when one is well! It seems almost silly and embarrassing for me. I don't think anyone would believe how crazy I can get when they only see the happy (but not *too* happy) me. It is a drag to have to spend good days preparing for the bad. It's also very difficult to realize just how bad my bad days can get...it is like I don't really remember them.

I did sort of made a plan to call the crisis centre, but all of it fell to the wayside...I just didn't think of what to do at all...like I said, I was really losing it.
