Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at your last comment Dragon...

I don't even remember how this thread started now... Sometimes threads go up, down, left and right... It sounds like you are still firmly in the Centre

Take it easy my friend.    

Dear dragon_of_shadows,

I cannot help but note that your words contain a tone of sarcasm, and overstate the reflection of the feedback you received, which makes me think you feel hurt. I'm sorry if that is the case.

We only advized you to go see a doctor with a specialty most appropriate because of what you mentioned yourself. If someone would come in here asking for a reading and mention several times their leg hurts, how they cannot walk on it and self-diagnose by saying they think it might be broken, then we will very sensibly advize them to visit a doctor and have sme x-rays taken.

We all have the power to take control over our own lives, including our health, and the first way to do that when we feel helpless on a certain area is by seeking help or advice with a specialist.

I wish you all the best

Maybe good advices is better then any reading.

Now, since none of us have the skill to say you need a shrink, we only react upon the information given.

As said...you are in control of yourself.......but sometimes is it hard to recognize that we need help....especially if the brain is involved.

I don't think you find a single person who have  Bipolar that think he/she need help....why....because the illness is on or "Brain"
When we are ill other places, we feel it, we know we have to get rid of it...when the brain is involved then the same thing that shall evaluate is ill, and then many times don't manage to recognize the need for help.

I myself have experienced how the Brain can fool one, I know how real the unreal can be seen....few or none can heal themselves, but they can get great improvement if they realize that they need help, and undertake the challenge in improving ones own life quality.  

Good luck whatever you chose

there was sarcasm in that ^-^  the fact that i asked for a reading and how it got off track amuses me.

i don't care that you all suggest i seek medical attention, and i understand why. thanks all for help and concern. makes me happy to see the whole world isn't full of complete asses
