Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

I haven't blogged since 11/2011. It has been almost a year and 374 people have viewed my blog. Did they walk away with anything? How can I account for my last year of non-blogging. I am sorry if you thought I was dead, in the jail or in the mental hospital. I was not. I haven't been to jail since 8.25.2011 or the mental hospital since 2.4.2011.
I have been talking to treasure4bay for a year now as well. Time flies. Each little step we take we gather perspective. You're not weird, you're an innovator! I think I will say something on Facebook. I don't do that as frequently anymore since the FBI investigated my posts. Post 9-11, now that was scary!
I suffer from systems trauma, fear of jails and institutions. I have social anxiety. I don't even want to post on Facebook anymore like I used to. I have had to keep working and drive it back to the place of the blog. The social media are difficult for sufferers of mental health disorders to navigate through.
I remember when I was going through the California State Child Protective Services, that we had the working changed in a legal document in family law from "mental illness" to "mental disorders."
Isn't it exciting when you get a text? That's what all these commercials about taking the pledge not to text while you drive are on. You have to deny your impulse and control it Not to text while driving.
A blog brainstorming:
Does marijuana cause tooth decay?
Y.T> The Killers Read my Mind
I want to help the mental health sufferer. Does Jesus have the keys to hell, death and insanity?
The bipolar sufferer can be symptomatic with hyper religiosity.
Isn’t a blog your autobiography?
What’s the difference between a web log and an email? Cartomancy is like reading tarot but with no major arcane, 52 cards instead of the 77 in tarot.
My best friend, her name is Amy like mine, but she is 54 years old.
She is going to go through the trauma survivor peer support volunteer training with Project ABLE ( A Better Life Experience).
I went through the training a year ago and just got my first person I am mentoring, N.
N is very sweet and we have met for coffee at the Ike Box.
In a little while I am meeting my grower in Albany to pick up my medical marijuana. My daughter Rachel is going to drive me.
Yeah, I love life. I’m in recovery from being traumatized. That’s why I volunteer to help others.
I have another blogspot for todaysgrowthconsultant.com on blogspot. I want to make MentalHealthDepot.com an authority website.
YT Queen: the Greatest Hits. Funny! Queen reminds me of my second husband Michael. He is a major asshole.
I’m going tell my grower John that marijuana affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain, the seat of creativity. It makes you more creative. Also, marijuana stops the proliferation of cancer cells. Proven.
End Marijuana Prohibition, Vote Yes M80 Oregon!
I’m doing better. Rachel says I don’t even snore anymore!
Write down your dreams and visualize them coming true.
Online predators and the serene and confident you.
Like mother like daughter
The Cranberries, Zombie Phil, and Animal Instinct CPS Cali.
They’re fighting in your head….
Tarot Reading 10.1.12...

take time to more clearly define things.

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

i guess i'll go post # 8 or is it 9? on my mentalhealthdepot@blogspot.com

Does lithium cause tooth decay?

They want to put it in the water because suicide rates went down in japan when they did.

i lost the last half upper portion of my #19 molar. oh well. and i lost #4. the baterrer wouldn't let me brush my teeth for two years:(. but i still have the rest of em and paid for a lot of work with my careington dental plan i finally found and AARP dental coverage finally in january with medicare. it sucks.

i read some statistic that the majority of adults have lost at least one tooth. :(. i am going copy this and begin my blog this way today...

This is an email i sent to my online bf rob stoud who i have not met yet. he is hot;)

anyways,
yeah,
so...
i lost the last half of my #19 molar two nights ago.

i went on cl and found a prison guard and he offered to take me out to dinner.
he says, bragging on the phone, "and i still have all my teeth."
yeah, food for the fodder.
the number one overall indicator of health is your goddamn smile. you simply build your government pension away and have your nice teeth while millions upon millions rot away because of lack of health care!
a man i broke up with sent me teleflora flower arrangement. it looks good in the dumpster.

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay

I lost the last half of my #19 tooth last night. Thank God I had a few vicodins left and was able to take one!
Yes, it was painful. So i will just wait to get a bridge later for #20, 19 and 18, but i don't want 18 to be replaced with a cap for a bridge. Same thing with #4 up top that i lost on a pretzel down in cali while i was role playing I am a CIA agent.
I don't want to file #5.
there is 300 million dollars worth of lithium in Afghanistan...

lithium is the gold standard for treating bipolar disorder. i want to bathe in the lithium pools in Ashland someday!

I thought I had to get a no stalking order against my ex bf .
He came to my home when i instructed him not to!And he told the maintenance manager who stepped in for my protection, Tim, that I have mental issues. And that he was my power of attorney and SOMEONE was going to jail. But i already had police contact and have the Case # in case i still have to go to the courthouse for the no stalking order.
This morning when I woke up I felt the soul tie broken. It felt so free!
He was my Captain Save a Ho (U40 rap artist coined that phrase). He was my captain save a ho for my xfinity cable bill.
I owe them for equipment and one month of services because I had to leave manic from that residence when my ex who went to prison for beating me was getting out. I was terrified. They say I owe them 388$ so i got majic jack,,,a great deal 150$ for 5 years. and clear looks like it's around 60$ a month. With xbox live and netflix, that's 80$ a month for internet and xbox and netflix.

lithium causes lack of concentration and confusion....
it is stored in the hypothalmus gland.

random: it is the american diaspora.

RE your comment that you haven't met anyone on cl for a while who was decent....

i've been BURNED more than once!

as regards to my online experience. i told you i was single for a year before steven.

before him i was dating wayne (who i met online cl a month and a half after the Officer Mikkola shooting incident in 09) but he's at his land in arizona. he wants to get back together but he wants anal and i don't want it. not at all. plus he drinks too much but i speak with him every once in a while on the phone...

the one hole is made for the one thing and the other hole is made for the other thing...

that's my thinking anyways. painful! plus my sister donna was kidnapped and sodomized at age 9.

I have AARP medicare supplemental insurance. it's 33$ a month for dental with one time 100$ copay per annum for dental services. So i should be able to get my crown on #3 for that much instead of $573 that it would be with just Careington Dental Plan (not insurance)
Dr. Li in south Salem

 is an excellent dentist.

Contract for Safety! I am a domestic violence victim who is tired of being victimized!

DO you believe in praying in tongues like the good book says? I've been baptized in the Holy Spirit.

I want to see that tv show about the bipolar CIA agent.:)

SO, how are your teeth this morning?

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

Beautiful Girls: by Sean Kingston

The batterer used to sing this to me. He was a bum, mooching off me. The drunk.
I thought today, "What if I had not gone to the hospital or jail since I resigned from teaching?"
Well, for one thing I wouldn't be on disability to begin with. I mean I would have it all together. This is but a symptom of the disorder. Not having one disqualifies, quite simply, the other.
You know, it's not that easy to aspire to be a writer with marijuana.
For the last four years of my strengthening resolve to become a writer, due to my, shall we say, interesting life experiences brought on by my disorder.
I kept thinking, "Oh, I can find some supplemental work online." Yet, did not want to lose my teaching credential and want to keep my record clean. A good name is worth more than gold." Proverbs.
Today I thought it would be nice to keep a rental home in oregon and return to california in 4-5 years. I also want to kayak around the world, quit cigarettes and lose 60 pounds. I am just turned last month, 38 years old.
I am catching up with every 30Rock episode. And I watch it as if I am studying the writer's mind. Just like the movie Funny Farm with Chevy Chase I watched the other day.

Does lithium cause tooth decay? No, I would say it helps cure it because it stabilizes mood, causing one to be more prone to take care of hygiene. Since I have been stable on the lithium, I have been taking care of my teeth.

I imagine myself as the writer I am, and the writer I want to become.
I imagine myself and my intuition, knowing that the pen may just be mightier than the mental disorder.
I feel the noise and vibes and emotions around me. I am Tina Fey, I tell myself, comedy writer extraordinaire.
Dad was a funny man.

If I made a sitcom it would be Dan Loves Jean. And it would be about my parent's love affair. How they met and everything. It would span 3 decades. From the beginning of the 70s to just after 9-11-01.
So every three and a half seasons it would span a decade of their marriage.

How does Tina Fey maintain that level of energy? They must live on lattes. Or massive dubes. or some mad combination of the two.who wants or needs to live like that?

In order to write comedy, imagine yourself erasing any possibility of an lol on a written sentence. Just wait, it gets funnier.
It's like telling someone not to laugh until milk comes squirting out their nose. Now that's comedy.

I'm going to shut the computer down and make my son do his homework first thing. If I don't shut it down, he's right on it.
I hate the teenage years.

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

I have decided to become an aclu attorney.

It's strange how the mean, dark, prejudice people spin me manic, while the rational, educated people make me feel I can deal with life and my mental health disorder.
I think that it's important for people to keep logs and diaries of what they go through. When I first was hospitalized they did not hand out journals in the mental hospitals to patients. Now it is common place. This is as much to record feelings and growth as it is a legal journal.
I believe a writing component to the agencies who assist those with mental health disorders would be useful.
The classes for writing could be offered as follows:
WRAP: step one: write a wellness recovery action plan
Step two: blog, this creates an online legal web log/journal
Step three: facebook, this is basically an online autobiography, recording your daily thoughts and feelings.
All people with mental health diagnosis should write an autobiography. In fact, I think all people should make it their goal in their lifetime to write an autobiography.
People in old folks homes should be trained to write this way as well. Think of the treasure trove of historical dialogue we would be preserving for future generations!

Does lithium cause tooth decay? Bad oral hygiene and poor diet cause tooth decay. People who are poor and with mental health issues get early tooth decay. Everyone deserves to preserve their teeth!
Just as we deserve to preserve our oral history!

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

Some people called me an angel because of what I am doing? I am on the road to recovery.
You would think that living in a location for three and a half years would finally let me get more of a sense of cohesiveness in my living situation.
Where do I live? I live just south of Brooks, Oregon where is said to have the highest concentration of mental health disorders in the nation. Well, as this is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest territory, there is no surprise there.

An angel. In times of mania I have felt that I was an angel in my mania. Is this delusion?
So why did my friends call me an angel?

I want to write a grant to get people living places who are on social security and need a place to live in. People particularly from southern California can come up and get plugged in with the many mental health resources available in Salem. Make your own position.
September 26th-29th I am going to training to be a mentor with Project ABLE. ABLE stands for a better life experience.
I want to lead writing circles. The first step would be WRAP, wellness recovery action plan, the second step would be a web log group. The third step would be autobiographical novels perhaps? I could help lead these groups.
The groups would mesh: ABLE, STEP (skills training enhancement program/DBT) and ROCC (regional outreach community program), and NA. Narcotics anonymous because cigarettes contain nicotine, which is a narcotic and a high percentage of people with mental health diagnosis have an addiction to tobacco.
STEP offers tobacco and you and tobacco reduction, ABLE offers TIPS to end smoking, ROCC has nicotine anonymous meetings, SOS has NA groups.
With these groups I will definitely have the help I need with stopping tobacco.
The idea or thought is that of a higher power. All four groups: STEP, ABLE, ROCC and SOS should address the concept of working the steps. STEP and ABLE can bypass the spiritual component but only to a point. The steps are very important for a person who has a nicotine addiction to use and follow.

So what are the STEPS, or steps and traditions of NA? Marijuana is a narcotic and a medicine.

The Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous

1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Tomorrow I am beginning with Step One. Instead of a sponsor I have a mentor, Dale who has worked the steps.

The Twelve Traditions
of Narcotics Anonymous

1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on NA unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or NA as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
6. An NA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the NA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Narcotics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
9. NA, as such, ought never be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. Narcotics Anonymous has no opinions on outside issues; hence the NA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Are the twelve steps and traditions of NA the same as those of nicotine anonymous or nicA?

The Twelve Steps of Nicotine Anonymous

We admitted we were powerless over nicotine – that our lives had become unmanageable. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to nicotine users and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

and the traditions:

The Twelve Traditions of Nicotine Anonymous

Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon Nicotine Anonymous unity. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. The only requirement for Nicotine Anonymous membership is a desire to stop using nicotine. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or Nicotine Anonymous as a whole. Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the nicotine addict who still suffers. A Nicotine Anonymous group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the Nicotine Anonymous name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose. Every Nicotine Anonymous group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. Nicotine Anonymous should remain forever non-professional, but our service centers may employ special workers. Nicotine Anonymous, as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve. Nicotine Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the Nicotine Anonymous name ought never be drawn into public controversy. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, TV, and films. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Does Lithium Cause Tooth Decay?

I am feeling depressed today. When people are depressed they do not want to brush their teeth. I have not brushed my teeth yet this morning.
I do not want to go to my writer's circle. I do not want to go to sing with the choir.
So what did I do?
I called my mentor with Project ABLE, Dale. We spoke for eighteen minutes until we hung up.
I spoke with my boyfriend Steve. We are going to work on selling authority websites through todaysgrowthconsultant.com
I started smoking cigarettes a couple of days ago.
I am very upset about my daughter Rachel. I am long done with my niece so I am not worried about that...
Do you feel your depression?
Are you capable of charting your moods?
There should be some sort of online mood charting mechanism...it would be an easy application to facebook or emails.
I think that emails are better than facebook. Facebook has this automatic sort of manic quality to it. It's like, all of a sudden, people who I thought I'd never speak to again! wooaaaah. they are still out there!
But it really should move toward the private email.

I have a master's degree in educational administration, yet do I have anything?
This morning in my car, a thought came to me, "Amy, society desperately needs you. You are highly educated. You have something to offer."\
Then, the negative thought came about why do they keep prosecuting me? I hate living in Salem Asylum sometimes.
Well, I heard that the Oregon State Hospital got 700 new beds and that if you have a misdemeanor they cannot keep you longer than a few days now. Someone from ROCC< regional outreach community center told me that.
They need more connectivity between the ROCC, ABLE and STEP. I mean seriously, why has it taken me almost three years to begin to get a little bit more comfortable with agencies designed to help me out there.
These programs, by denying easy community link in, are obviously very ineffecicntly run.
I just applied for a consultative trainer in efficiency for Pacific Efficiency. And I do so enjoy working for todays growth consultant .com just still fishing for a salaried position. The average person searches for nine months to find one in this economy.

But people are still out there working are they not?
Those with unilateral hearing, fibromylagia, asthma, bipolar disorder and PTSD. Do you need us do you want us? The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation is taking over six months to even begin helping me find a job. Is that efficient?> They are claiming that people with disabilities make better employees because they are more motivated to stay with the job once they get hired because it was even that much more difficult for them to obtain.\
So by making us wait they prove their point....suffer little ones, suffer, we will release the light at the end of the tunnel after you've learned a few more lessons about how leprous you are for being disabled. ugh. excuse my negative slant.\
And I have such a negative outlook today. Because I am depressed...
I like my new boyfriend though.
