we're all a little mixed up... your serotonin levels may vary.

Just make the best of it.  100 years ago, they'd just call us a little 'off'.
Today we're diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, etc.
In 100 years, they'll have a perfect pill that'll autocorrect our uneven chemical levels in the brain.
We're stuck in the middle :(

Try meds, try health food, and above all, just accept how you're built, and use the gifts that come with the deficits, to your benefit.  Yes, ADHD sucks, but you sure can multi-task with it.  yes, OCD sucks, but that house is always clean.  yes, having the addiction in your blood sucks, but when you apply the addiction to success with work/family, you can kick some serious ass at life.

That's what I've learned, coming from a family where EVERYONE has alcohol/drug issues on one side, and everyone one of my siblings has battled their demons.  Just learn to focus those bad things in my blood, into a good direction.   I work too much and get too passionate aobut things, but I'm not stoned, i'm not wasted, I'm not doing all the destructive stuff that others in my family with the same blood are doing :(  

Good luck man.  Just learn to embrace how you're built and make the best of it, like we all do.  Try diff meds and other things too.  Never give up.

I don't know how old ya are... but whatever age, just know that it gets easier every year.  The tics and urges and frustration and all that... every year, it lessens.  Test levels drop with age, and the fluctuations start to level out.

Also something that works for a lot of people with issues in our blood like us, is http://thesecret.tv/ - using sourcing, the universe, vision boards, etc.  Helps keep focus.  I know a LOT of people that use these techniques.  get the video on itunes for $10 and watch it a few times... learn how to really source/create/control the things around you.  I used to mock the stuff, but its helped me a lot.  You CAN draw the better things in life to surround you.  Including inner peace, something I strive for daily.   Good luck!

Thanks, but my actual problem is that I sleep too long, sometimes up to 11-12 hours(!)

Last week, I did a couple of tests in the hospital (nervous system, lungs, blood pressure/analysis, weight, 3 questionnaires) and even a sleep session at home with this bitch (never again please! ;D) So far, all physical tests went fine.

I need an early or late afternoon nap, in case I slept for 'only' 6-7 hours. It's hard to figure out if it's mental and/or physical (I assume both), that's why I contacted my doctor.
Feeling sleepy during the day sucks, not only during a working day, so I hope they find the cause(s) and that no medicines are needed. One thing that I need to improve on is regularity; sometimes I go to bed at 11PM, but the next night at 2AM :-[

I was the same, sleeping 10-12hrs a night, and drinking coffee all day. Trouble was I was up way to late.  Now I go to bed at 9 and by 3-4am I'm wide awake and no longer drink caffeine.

I have suffered with severe depression in the past along with anxiety attacks. Thankfully 2013 has been good so far largely due to my girlfriend, I could never say for certain it won't ever come back, but I do my best to look after myself on a daily basis or if I feel myself slipping. Ones circumstances,  environment,  and mainly who surrounds them is very important.

Thanks for sharing! I remember watching this vid before, here on GB. He's dead right on serotonin and melatonin levels, us humans are very stubborn with our disturbed rhythms. Normally, I train between 9-10 PM, so this 9PM thing would be a hard one. However, I believe I should give it a try by getting to bed @10 PM every(!) night. BTW, I always sleep with a shirt on my eyes, which works like magic.

Ya man. waking up when the sun comes up is a life changer. Going to bed early seems lame, but once you see the positive changes you wont want to stay up. Also I like the last part of the video when he mentions whatever you watch or read before bed will stick with you overnight into the next day. I find that to be very true. Its like they say never go to bed angry.

Seems overdiagnosed & overtreated imo.  Every personality foible doesn't constitute 'mental illness.'  Somehow, everyone has become convinced there's something wrong with them and they need a team of doctors and a damn pharmacy backing them up.  It's bullshit.  There's nothing wrong with you.  If there was something genuinely wrong with you they would have put you in a padded cell long ago.

I've seen slightly loopy people become full blown crazies as a result of prescribed psych drugs.  Ok, maybe I'm wrong and they would have been twice the loony without the drugs, but that's not my assessment.  What I certainly didn't see was someone cured and all better.  Never.  Never seen it.  And they fall to pieces of quivering jello every time the drugs get changed, reduced, whatever, which they inevitably have to due to sides.  

If you're batshit bananas then take drugs, but if you're basically ok then don't touch 'em.

I believe a lot of people today suffer from some kind of mental disorder. I had bad anxiety attacks in the past due to stressful time in my life.
Horrible feeling, fortunately  have not had one for years.

Let's just say that before 35, i was a positive virile young man that felt he could conquer the world (and had it all, a loving woman, a great outlook on life, money, goals etc), and nowadays after losing it all, (and my health) i just feel like an angry, bitter old man. (even though i'm not even 50)

But you do what you can do.

It's not especially uplifting either seeing what's happened to sweden or the areas around you that you used to love, that sure doesn't help the situation. Very depressing.

I both look (and feel) like a bag of smashed assholes these days, and i'm sure if i went to a shrink today (i've never visited one), he'd prolly diagnose me with everything in the book.

ptsd but not from combat or military service. Had a series of deaths had to deal with when I was a little kid and would always explode into rage for no reason.
 It has taken a long fukn time to figure out that everytime something goes wrong in my life it is not a fatal event.
 I had my trouble with the booze but even after i quit drinking the trouble followed me.
My outlook on life was very dark and I was prone to settling normal problems with violence, I got better and everything is puppies and unicorns now.

Take Prozac for example. Pretty much every study not funded by a pharmaceutical company has shown it to be no more effective than a sugar pill.

Pharmaceutical companies exist to make money, not make u better.
Been on PROZAC which is an SSRI for 4 years. For me, It VERY MUCH kills " two birds with one stone ".......In other words it treats both Depression and Anxiety disorders. My PD/AGORAPHOBIA was VERY MUCH acting up for a month straight, got back on 60 mg of PROZAC and after a couple weeks, its has very much controlled the PD/AGORAPHOBIA which are both Anxiety disorders.

I mostly agree with this... Pharma companies don't make money by inventing cures, they make money by inventing long term "treatments".... which, many times causes side effects that these same companies have developed another pill to deal with... so as soon as you're on one of the pills, they try and get you on the gamut.

That being said - I am currently on an SSRI as part of a way to help me as my body tries to repair the damage done from my drug abuse, and it definitely does help, although it's effect is subtle. Basically I just notice that im much more irritable and on edge when I don't take it... I personally didn't notice, but everyone around me did.

I think Pharms companies are the biggest crooks around, but certain people that REALLY need these treatments are greatly helped. The problem that I see, is that docs are pushed to prescribe these treatments to EVERYONE, for practically any reason. The list of symptoms that a normal SSRI can be prescribed for is fucking retarded, and it's no wonder why they're getting a bad name.

Listen man im just trying to help, i almost used to think im bipolar myself, because i had all the symptoms for a while, but all those symptoms started as soon as i took lexapro (ad) so i did the math, now im off for a while and i dont have any bipolar symptom. Thats why im saying when were you diagnosed with what?  and what med were you taking at the time? 

How did it all began for you before taking any med? What were the symptoms? my wild guess its probably social anxiety and some mild paranoia. All the other stuff you mentioned were drug induced, its impossible for the psychiatrist to diagnose you man,they dont even look at the med-side effects, i think ur highly depressed on your meds right now, u feel like a zombie, but atleast ur not scared right  ::) . like i said do some richard bandler stuff, stick with it, dont be lazy, ull be surprised how well you ll get, get off from all the meds for atleast a year, work on your selfesteem, you ll never get well on these drugs, its helping you 30% but its making 60% new problems, not to mention you need to take viagra to have sex with your lady, are you aware serotonin has 1000 different functions in the whole body, so when you artificially raise that ur in for a lot of trouble.

I as most I think know got aspergers(hfa). I also obviously  got depression, ADD, and OCD, however these traits I believe just describe my autism more than anything.

Anyhow its kinda bullshit to say someone has a disorder. It makes it sound like its something youve caught. The reality is its about your brain lacking something something. 

In more logical terms it would make more sense to say you lack an ability to regulate your attention(adhd), your mood(bipolar), your perception(schiepohrenic.)

cut the crap ok

so ur sayin you have schizofrenia, schizoaffective d and bipolar?

you cant be diagnosed with all these 3. bipolar is part of schizoaffective, either you have one or the other, and then either you have schizofrenia or schizoaffective d, whats so hard to understand man.

A person can be diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and Bipolar disorder...i meet them all the time...I have not heard of someone diagnosed with Schizoaffective and also Bipolar disorder, but just because I have not heard of it, means nothing...Psychiatry seems to be a very complicated field...

Listen man im just trying to help, i almost used to think im bipolar myself, because i had all the symptoms for a while, but all those symptoms started as soon as i took lexapro (ad) so i did the math, now im off for a while and i dont have any bipolar symptom. Thats why im saying when were you diagnosed with what?  and what med were you taking at the time?  

How did it all began for you before taking any med? What were the symptoms? my wild guess its probably social anxiety and some mild paranoia. All the other stuff you mentioned were drug induced, its impossible for the psychiatrist to diagnose you man,they dont even look at the med-side effects, i think ur highly depressed on your meds right now, u feel like a zombie, but atleast ur not scared right  ::) . like i said do some richard bandler stuff, stick with it, dont be lazy, ull be surprised how well you ll get, get off from all the meds for atleast a year, work on your selfesteem, you ll never get well on these drugs, its helping you 30% but its making 60% new problems, not to mention you need to take viagra to have sex with your lady, are you aware serotonin has 1000 different functions in the whole body, so when you artificially raise that ur in for a lot of trouble.
I had these illness'/symptoms LONG BEFORE i started taking medication.

manic/depressive state bipolar is part of schizoaffective d, you cant be diagnosed with 2 of these, either its schizoaffective or bipolar, do you understand this?
Your thinking about BIPOLAR TYPE 1............Which is Bipolar with Psychosis in which you only experience Psychosis while your having a major depressive episode or Manic episode.

An animal who suffer from intense stress because its odds of survival are limited compared to the competition in any given environment might show some aggression toward other animals in its species. Failure to dominate other males and females might frustrate it(him).

Some men call this a "mental illness" to label other weaker men who are lured into believing they are abnormal. The very same (educated, loved, raised to dominate other weaker men in society) men who label others as mentally ill laugh all the way to the bank selling them pills.

in 9/10 cases 'mental illness' goes away when you change your environment radically.

I've hung out with people who are really sick in the brain and never found anything else in common with them except that we're all low class in society.

Get that feeling regularly, should have been dead several times over but it is mostly reckless behaviour when you're in a bad way. Impulsive behaviour - that classifies most of us. I survived taking 300iu insulin, losing 2.5l blood, taking 90 ambien and 100 valium with 30 alcoholic drinks etc etc. Now I shrug it off and wait til 1,2,3 days later.

My latest thing is anxiety, which I never had til recently. Thought of going certain places, even work sometimes, has my stomach in knots but I just do it.

Back to OP you will never shake stigma from people. They can see ads on TV hear stories etc. Insurance ads play on fear, as do many advertisements. It is a primal instinct. The thought of someone being unable to control themselves in any way plays on that fear.

If they are hallucinogenic voices eg: outside of your head but no ones there making them then seek help ASAP.

If internal , that's a thought , that's considered "normal" and part of an anxiety type disorder - I was reading the other day about  new born Mums who are under slept and stressed often
have weird impulses and thoughts (voices in head) to harm and even kill there new born's - it makes them feel very uncomfortable , so much so a lot of the time they remove themselves from
the situation because they are scared they will do harm, they think they are going nuts and turning into killers when they are not.

You felt uncomfortable and left the situation, that's a sure sign you arn't loopy.  Talk with someone anyway ,somethings obviously triggering these impulsive thoughts , so sharing and learning can
help you.

Two or three times in my life, between being asleep & awake.  Never one urging me to homicide tho.  Cut down on the metal and talk to a headshrinker bro.  Maybe it's not you - have a look at whatever drugs you're taking as a cause too.  That ain't good.  The voice is supposed to tell you to fuck her fuck her fuck her.

I have a friend with paranoid schizophrenia from smoking too much pot as a teenager. Most of his "friends" dumped him but I can work with it. He will hear or interpret things completely wrong and feel people are out to get him. I just reassure him but he is volatile.

Anxiety and depression. 

Never really talked with a dr about them much, just the anxiety once. Anxiety I got under control pretty well for the most part. Mostly social anxiety now.

The depression is kinda bothering me because I'm getting that whole not having interest in things you love doing going on. Hate that.

Against psychotropic meds so would never take them but open to other therapies. Any getbiggers have advices on treating depression without drugs? 

Maybe it's good just to get out and force yourself to do things and make your brain "wake up" and pull out of the depression.  ???

Megalomania would fit you perfectly.

It's common for megalomaniac to be obsessive towards money, power, being genius and all capable. That's EXACTLY you. But only when it gets truly obsessive it is considered a mental illness, but since fitnessfrenzy got you all worked up, there is some truth in his statement

Being delusional is common for megalomaniac as well. Your self boasting has mostly been the magnitude of the illusion :D

Anxiety and depression. 

Never really talked with a dr about them much, just the anxiety once. Anxiety I got under control pretty well for the most part. Mostly social anxiety now.

The depression is kinda bothering me because I'm getting that whole not having interest in things you love doing going on. Hate that.

Against psychotropic meds so would never take them but open to other therapies. Any getbiggers have advices on treating depression without drugs? 

Maybe it's good just to get out and force yourself to do things and make your brain "wake up" and pull out of the depression.  ???
Why are you afraid of drugs? You are a bodybuilder for God's sake! Stop being a wimp.

If necessary, its better living through chemistry. ;)

Not judging others but for me I am against it. Mainly I feel that depression is more an environmental/situational problem you should rectify instead of treating with drugs.

I'll try the things dropping plated suggested, see how that works.

You're welcome.
Just be selective regarding social interactions. Conversations with uber-positive/energetic people are rather depressing, so 'select' people with a similar mindset.

During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Anxiety and depression are a team.
Changing your way of thinking is a start - it's hard to keep your thoughts directed on more positive targets once you've strayed and wallowed in the mental gutter for too long. Feeling depressed can become a high in itself.
I advocate marijuana use - low dose with clear goals spoken/thought before the smoking. During the high you will travel your inner world and some things you're treading on will become instantly obvious. After that try to remember your ills and slowly change your patterns - allowing emotions but no selfish dwelling on them.
Rather working on something than elaborating on it.
Without drugs a therapy is very hard as you need a tool to gain instant distance from your sick ways to work out alternative paths.

@Archer77 - has zero to do with Catholicism. It had/has to do with feeling guilt for being mean/vile(at least in thought) to people who love you.

I have OCD and a anxiety issue. most bodybuilders are all OCD. you almost have to have OCD to be a bodybuilder or become OCD, and steroids caused alot more anxiety in my case. I remember always having the worst insomnia and just worry in general when on harsh cycles. Tren and any harsh steroids like Halo and some other strength drugs do really make you have some added aggression. I think roid rage is real and it's mainly when cutting weight and on restricted calories and using harsh androgenic compounds. I didn't need valium or xanax or use painkillers till I started using steroids.I got hooked on xanax and valium to sleep and got hooked on painkillers from training to hard and getting joint pain and overall discomfort.

OCD and anxiety seem to go hand in hand. I know for me during stressful shit both my anxiety and ocd kick into overdrive. Sometimes it gets so out of control that I feel like I'm no longer in the driver seat of life...im completely under a spell. Its fucking brutal sometimes man. If you've never experienced it its hard to explain. Panic attacks like crazy. I hate this shit.

You're comparing apples & oranges here.
AFAIK they have only one thing in common; both are journeys with unknown destinations.
Hindus started meditating around 1500 before Christ, no hipsters back then ;)
With the right mindset meditation can be picked up within a month.
