Dear patient, Right now you re probably psyched up that you may lose your marbles and lose control or go crazy and hurt other people. As you say so, right? You are most likely in a state of grief, about the loss of your loved ones. I m sorry about that. You are in a state of disbelief about how could this guy, you d trusted with your precious kid, do such a thing to her. If all that were not enough for one human being, you, that is; Now we have this situation in which someone is apparently threatening you by texting you over and over, things that hurt you. This is obviously frightening. This would disturb anyone. In fact you already know that it s downright illegal to abuse people, regardless of whether it s over a phone or face to face. Let s help you. Take about ten deep breaths. Inhale, hold for 10 seconds, and fully exhale. Get in contact with your feelings. (This is as directly opposed to cognitive behavioural therapy, DBT or biological psychiatry which seek to numb emotions and feelings, or even psychoanalysis and free association, which tend to intellectualize feelings.) Feel your pain down to the raw end. Take deep breaths as you do this. Emotional pain hurts a lot. Perhaps more than physical beatings, even; and, I will tell you right now, that: Pain can be your friend.

The way a person moves his eyes is neurologically linked to the way he or she is accessing his brain. When you look upwards, you apparently access the visual cortex of your brain.

You can break a depressed state simply by starting to focus , concentrate on something other than the things you are focusing on in your mind, right now. Focus on something neutral. Imagine the color blue . Focus on it with full intensity. Break your depressed state of mind. As for medications, Lamcital is a mood stabilizer given in BPAD (and also for some other conditions). Effexor is an antidepressant called Venlafaxine. And Remeron is an antidepressant called Mirtazapine. Apparently it does not solve your problem, does it? If you still feel like hurting yourself or others, please see a counselor, face to face, in a location, where you can physically meet the person, regularly. Please follow these simple instructions. 1. break your depressed state of mind through deep breaths, and change of mental focus. 2. Write down on a notebook or a word processor on a computer, a full uncondensed version of your own life. This will help you release your angst. 3. Speak about these things to either a counselor or a friend. 4. If you do not have access to a counselor, propose to make amends with people who are apparently your opponents. Admit your faults frankly and ask for forgiveness. It takes two hands to clap. Thus, in any broken relationship, there are faults on both sides. If you openly admit your wrongs , this will make them agreeable to accepting you back. Kindly follow the above instructions and feel free to repost if neccessary. Please take care of your health and your precious
