There is absolutely ZILCH information on the net about what people experience AFTER they have finished taking Zeldox.
Of course studies indicate that long term use of this drug can cause tardive diskinesia (long term tremor) and heart issues but apart from that I have found nothing else or no other articles on what consumers are [...]

I need help. I reach out to people all the time, they just don’t understand or they don’t want to be involved. Some of my friends and family have deserted me. I have pushed my partner away because I have shut down into my own little world because I can’t deal with the pain of [...]

What a night i’ve had. I’m writing this post in the hope that no one in my family reads it. I’ve made the mistake of telling them my blog address and every now and then they go to it to check out what i’ve been writing. I’ve thought about closing my blog down due to [...]

I know it’s been a while since i’ve blogged on here. It’s been hard to get the motivation up and hard to think of new topics all the time to write about to keep readers interested.
One thing I worry about is whether I look bipolar to other people. I think I can tell when someone [...]

It’s been one week since i’ve changed my diet and I feel great. I have to admit I was skeptical at first when I bought the book Super Foods to Boost Your mood, Foods that Fight Depression for a measley $5.00AU but figured if there were foods out there that could change my mood then [...]

My parents came to my house for lunch yesterday. I was looking forward to seeing them as it had been a few months since we last got together.

I remember when I had a relapse of bipolar disorder about five months ago that I didn’t get a lot of support when I needed it most. My partner found it very difficult to cope with my endless sleeping and lack of enthusiasm towards life. I remember having to psych myself up for half an [...]

I recently had coffee with two people affilliated with a major lending institution. They are involved in reposessing houses.
I myself work in mortgagee sales and the conversation ventured into the attitude of borrowers who are in the process of having their house reposessed.
What shocked and saddened me were the remarks made by these representatives of this major lending [...]

Most of the time people who suicide are very sick with depression or one of the other types of depressive illnesses, which occur when the chemicals in a person’s brain get out of balance or become disrupted.
Healthy people do not suicide. A person who has depression does not think like a typical person who is [...]

Management read my blog. I was the highest internet user during business hours so they tracked what I was doing and came across my blog.
Apart from me feeling totally violated, they were very supportive. I have had two bad experiences with telling employers about my illness (see my post Working Full Time with a Mental [...]

I Can Do Anything

People with delusions of grandeur may exhibit a drastically exaggerated sense of self-importance or may believe that they are a famous person or religious figure. They may believe they can do anything, believing they are vastly superior to those around them. They can have inflated self esteem and false beliefs in special abilities.
Delusions of grandeur can [...]
Depression & Fatigue
Posted in Depression, Mental Health News, tagged chronic fatigue syndrome, Depression, fatigue, overcoming fatigue on July 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
With depression comes fatigue. Some antidepressants can reduce the amount of fatigue a depressed person feels. Very rarely am I energetic without a Berocca (vitamin B) and a can of Coke every day. Red Bull or other energy drinks also remove the fatigue by boosting the body’s caffeine intake.
A European study has found evidence that depression and [...]
