Responses:

I have Bipolar II disorder as well. hit me up on AIM: Luvs2Write16@aol.com or YAHOO! Messenger: Michelle_Leatherbury@yahoo.com and we can talk privately about this matter and what can be done to help your friend or whomever this relation is to you. Best wishes, Michelle Ps. I think it varies on whether it can help him or not. It depends on if he wants help, how long he has been addicted and how much effort it will take him to quit and so forth
dude i suggest youseek the help IF you are ready to recieve it. i am a major depressive and used to abuse crystal methamphedamine. it is soooo not easy. 10 yrs strong to be exact. but now do not crave for the sh*t any more. 2 yrs in Sand Island Treatment center did the work. i had to deal with everything about myself in order for it to work. but the main factor in my kicking the habit was that i was ready to do so. hit the bottom and left a face print. good luck and best wishes. ill be rooting for you
Not doing any meth, and getting some nice lithium bicarbonate perhaps with an anti - depressant will help a lot. And then, having somewhere to go and something productive to do everyday
Well, with Meth addiction, I do not think you have any other option but rehab. It can be quite difficult to break the addiction from Meth, but it can be done. It will take a lot of faith and hope in the subject in question. Meth is one of the hardest drug addiction battles to win, but the battle can be won. It sounds like the subject in question has a lot of battles to try to win and overcome. Bipolar disorder, however is something that must be treated with medication and therapy. I would advise this person if he is currently taking meds for this condition, to stay on them until he has a consultation with his doctor. I hate it for him and everything he has been through. A good therapist would work wonders with him, but he want get well overnight. It will take some time. A lot of addicts repress their worst memories and blame this for their addictions. Get help and do not wait. Everyday that goes by, is a day your not clean and sober. You can get there my friend, even if a friend or family member has to kick your tail and carry you there, you will love them for it in the end. Best of luck to you!
LOOK its difficult but if a human wants something bad enough. the sky is the limit best wishes star
Uh. I'd concentrate on stabilizing the bipolar and stopping the drug addiction first, and using talk therapy to work out the emotional issues. The drugs _will_ make the bipolar symptoms worse. What kind of drug rehab are you talking about? Is the bipolar stabilized? The sexual orientation has _nothing_ to do with drug rehab or bipolar treatment
It is only as effective as he will let it be. He has to want help first off, and secondly he has to be willing to put some work in to kick his addiction. Meth is nasty stuff, and it does all kinds of horrible things to your body. A lot of people with drug addictions also have coinciding mental health issues, so it is not like it is at all unheard of to be dealing with both. His best bet for recovery is to combat both illnesses at once. Most facilities that he would go into for treatment even if he does outpatient will help him with both physical and mental aspects of healing. If you really think about it, trying rehab is probably your best option, think about it on the flip side. how effective is not treating meth addiction and bi - polar disorder. He has to start somewhere in trying to get himself back into a better situation. Best of luck to you, if you want any additional resource information just let me know. I have found that there is a lot of financial help out there if you need it
It really depends on his willingness to "stick". I just know what I read, and from what I have read, Bipolar disorder and substance abuse go hand in hand, especially when they are off of their meds. Do rehab for him, it will help him some. Get him into a good mental health hospital to get him stabilized on his meds, and keep him in therapy, groups, counseling, work. "It works if you work it, so work it, its worth it!"
Psychotherapy and lithium or another mood stabilizer or antimanic drug are going to be key to getting off of the meth addiction. Manic depressives are often highly - addictive individuals, especially when in manias. Proper lithium usage combined with therapy can help bring the bipolar disorder in check, which will make the meth addiction much easier to kick although still as hard as a drug addiction is. If the drug rehab is inpatient, he's getting psychotherapy to deal with the emotions ociated with loss, death, and sexual abuse, and he is compliant in taking his medications, I think that there is definitely hope. Supportive loved ones can be very important, too
