Dr. Richard M. Sag from 2002 to Current and Beyond

Right now you are probably wondering what jobs I've held that impacted my life of any importance. Well I've been through a lot. I had my first manic episode after a scary episode happened with some mysterious person vandalizing my car, to seeing either a ghost or someone physically try to break down my locked door in the middle of the night. It turned me into a person of shock, not accepting anything around me, and I started getting paranoid, and soon I got sick, and was hospitalized. I was of coarse registered for 5 courses at SCC, then they thought I had anxeity, and put me on zyprexal. I never questioned the medicine, but I never knew what it was for, but it made me throw up my food when it touched my throat, and then i had trembling that still exists today.

I then got into a car crash and then over the coarse of the semester I came down with the flu, maybe even phenomina, and then thought it was my medicine so I stopped taking it. I got anxious again, and scary stuff happened to me so I got paranoid again. I ended up in another manic episode.

I got really paranoid in spring semester, and ended up hospitalized for 5 months. They thought I had a mood disorder in the hospital, and its part mood and part mania which is paranoia. Then why i was there I came down with phenomina again, was sent to the hospital, got x-rayed, had a blood clot, and they put me in bed. Never took me off medicine.

They then decided I was bipolar, or had mania. So they changed my mood stablizer, and suddenly I took off my jackets, and suddenly I wasn't cold, and my phenomina went away. I moved to the second unit, and I was then allowed to leave with my parents but whatever I was labeled in court, makes it very hard for me to get past resume stage.

I'm no threat to myself or to other people. I just get anxious and paranoia now.

My doctors at USF Psychiatric Clinic are the best ones yet, they actually listen to me, and if I have any problems, they call me back. I take my medicine every night, and since 2005 I've haven't had any problems. I just don't understand what happened during that time, and I don't think I'll ever will.

I just help my dad in his Pediatrician's office, and I found a tutoring job that is seasonal. I'm waiting till September when it starts up again.

I graduated from College after all this and now i'm doing graduate work part time.

thanks
