Open Question: not able to spell properly?have OCD. this has only happened over the last few months?
Hi. im 17, and was diagnosed with OCD in February this year and have been seeing a therapist. at this time i was in an absolute state!!
thankfully its getting much better and i can actually do a lot more.
but over the months i have noticed that my spelling has deteriorated.
i used to be fantastic and could spell without thinking twice. but over the months i have had trouble with a lot of things, for example i couldn't spell 'heritage' in my head until i asked someone then it seemed so easy. this has been happening a lot. like an example today i couldn't spell fertility. i now have to sound the words out as i am trying to spell and still getting it wrong. i am also getting my 'in' and 'at''s mixed up. this is worrying for me.
i would like to know is this a symptom of what happened to be while i was in a stressful state or is it some kind of late developed dyslexia?
in this question i had 6 spelling mistakes before i corrected them on the spell checker.
no not on meds. just conjunctive behavior therapy - just finished to be honest

Open Question: Anyone else with bipolar II - what treatment has worked best for you?
Having been treated (relatively unsuccessfully) for unipolar depression for the past 4 years, I've just been diagnosed with Bipolar II. Venlafaxine (Effexor) has been the best antidepressant for me so far, so I'm staying on it at the maximum dose, but I'm also being started on Quetiapine (Seroquel) and have been referred to a psychologist.
I was just wondering which medications other people with bipolar II had tried and found effective??
(oh, and I don't want to hear people telling me to stop taking the medications, because I need them and I'm aware of the side effects etc, and have made the decision that it's the right route to go down.)

Open Question: I'm terrified about this?
I'm asking this here because I thought people might have some idea.
I'm 15 and it'll be my last year of school this year. A lot happened last year, I lost my best friend and most of my friends. I'm failing in a lot of classes and my grades aren't good. I don't have any proper friends there anymore, I'm scared to go back. I have been off school for a few months because of the holidays and because I was in hospital after taking an overdose. My whole school knows about this and I know people will be talking about it.
My Mum says I can move schools if I want to. A big part of my depression is to do with school. There's another school near to me, I have close friends there and I'm familiar with quite a few people. My Mum says there's still time to move if I want to, but I'm scared of moving. I've always been anxious and shy - starting at this school means a new beginning, new first day and meeting new people. I know that there's also people at this school who don't like me. My friends can't be with me in every lesson and just the thought of being alone terrifies me. I want to move, but don't think I could cope with starting all over again.
What do you think I should do?

Open Question: Should i start smoking again? Help needed Urgently!?
I suffer from Borderline personality Disorder,OCD,Self Harm and a few other mental illnesse's.
I gave up smoking 4 weeks ago... And i have been through hell... I am getting repeat panic and anxiety attacks (which i dont usually get),i am starting to develop slight agrophobia,i have no energy,my emotions are completly chaotic,.
Before i quit my psychiatrist even said he didnt think i should as it would proberly make me worse. Can anyone give me there honest opinion on what i should do.
I was smoking 40/50 a day. I would never go back to that...
Maybe just 5/10...
I totally understand why people would tell me no.
But as i say i was smoking 40/50 a day and stopped myself with no patches nothing...Cold Turkey!!
And i have never felt as low as i do in my life.
All my doctor and psychiatrist are doing are giving me tranqulisers that most of you know only mask the problem. Im supposed to be starting college in 2 weeks. Yet i cant even leave the house.
To be honest i cant even go upstairs in my own house as that was were i took the worst panic attack so for the past 3 weeks me and my husband have been sleeping on the couch downstairs.
Do you think i will be drasticly sick if i started just a few each day...Then maybe went on to patches.
Thank you for all your advice

Open Question: What have you achieved lately within your mental illness?
no matter how small you may think your achievement is, share it. let's try and build up a bit of self esteem here. let's try and make ourselves feel good, and admire others for their achievements.
i'll start us off. on holiday recently i managed not to dwell on my negative thoughts,managed to distract myself, and battled against suicidal thoughts.
now it's your turn. :)

Open Question: What should i do? I don't want to go down this route again?
I can feel myself getting more and more depressed again, (started when i was 13 finailly got over it when i was abour 18 after 2 suicide attempts) im 19 now and can feel it starting again, i am feeling more ignored at home, i ask a question and everyone ignores me, i ask mum to do something for me which i never ask normally n she says ignores me again, i starting to thing what is the point, and i dont want to do that, i know if it gets bad again then i will want to die again,
I have been to the doctors before but i dont really want to go on medication again, i will be going to see a counsellor when i go back to university but being at home there isnt much i can do until then
I don't want to tell my mum cuz she will just say get over it, and i dont want to tell my dad cuz i dont think he can do much
So i guess i'm asking if there is anything that you think i can d to stop it getting worse until i get back to see a consellor and my doctor?
Thanks
Also, this is how ive been for most of my life, its the only part of me i know so i dont know if this is coming back because without it i dont know who i am
Its not that i dont get 'enough attention', i dont get any, never really had so that dont bother me, its just that when i ask a question it would be nice to get an answer, anyway its only one of the things that has added to me starting to feel depressed again
