I am not depressed and have no social issues, however I prefer to not talk to people. I enjoy spending all my free time playing video games and watching movies. I have a solid Job and will never have to worry about money. I used to take ADHD medication but eventually got tired of going to the doctor to get it refilled.

Apologies.

How does it feel to know that one day, probably years from now all those other peoples problems have become one of your problems. I know a lot of Psychologists who have deep personal problems. This I suspect positively correlates (lol see what I did there), with the personality type that decides to do psychology. Fill that hole with trying to help others kinda thing. Do rate psyc students as a good fuck though.

>>675615794
CBT has the most research. Pure talk therapies like psychoanalysis have very little in the way of "why" or "how" it works so practitioners often get the process wrong and have patients spend years without progress.

>>675614714
>>675614714
Knowing what you know from being a psychologist, do you look at people and judge them in a different way to everyone else?

>>675615896
I got two proper degrees, and I've been on /b/ since before reddit existed. Try again.

>>675615925
Your suspicion is unfounded; the rate of mental illness in psychology correlates with the normal population, and the rate of suicide correlates the same as other mental health workers.

Turns out, helping people hurts.

>>675616023
I have no way to know other peoples internal dialog or thoughts, so I have no way of knowing if I process things differently than others.

The hair loss has been going on for a couple months. Basically a patch on my head that spread a bit upwards a few inches.

The sleep thing started about a week ago. This is my first sleepless night though.

im looking to go into the field. I was wondering firstly...
1) where the most money within the field is
2) how stressful is it
3) do you wish you had done a different career line
4) what is the most common problem people come to you for?

Look Anonymous. I know that doing new things or talking to doctors or even just admitting you have a problem is scary. It can be the hardest part of being a human being even, because it means admitting you are a fragile little speck of carbon that happens to have figured out how to walk and talk.

But facing challenges head on, grabbing the horns of the bull and not letting go is how we advance as people. It's how we become better. Hell, it's how we enjoy life.

I'm not telling you not to be scared; you are scared, and you should explore that. But you also need to be courageous. You need to do what is best for you, even if it is scary, because otherwise you'll never move forward, you'll never be okay, and you'll never be truly happy, the happiness that comes from the security of being healthy and knowing who you really are.

So please, seek medical attention Anonymous. Be courageous like I know you can be.

>Should be pretty obvious. DEPRESSION.
>Go to a doctor!

I actually tried that. Meds basically removed all emotion and the therapist I went to said I was feeling the way I was because I "needed a better relationship with god".

After she dropped that bomb I never went back to her.

I stopped taking my meds because although the self-loathing lessened, I missed feeling occasional happiness or even anger. I felt like a fucking robot.

The ACA also fucked me. It priced insurance out of my reach, so even if I wanted to go back to a shrink and get back on meds I couldn't afford it.

Is there anything I can do just by myself to ease it? It sucks going to sleep each night hoping I won't wake up.

Why no CBT for schizophrenia? As a schizophrenic, I am curious about your reasoning.

>>675618878
Well a psychologist has to have a Master's degree at least (Doctorate in many US states). Then they have to complete several years of applied practice before being fully credentialed.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. They must take a few science classes in undergrad, complete medical school, residency, all that jazz, and then received appreciated training in psychiatry.

It's two completely different career paths.

>>675619941
meh.

unless you get a professional diagnosis. odds are you're just taking longer to come out of your edgy teenage years.

dont worry. once adulthood hits you you'll become normal again.

actual sociopaths are picked up in childhood most of the time.

plus your personality has not stabilized yet. takes until your mid-late 20s before your personality solidifies for the rest of your adult years

>>675620056
depends. there are many factors that are at play for people with "emotional dysregulation"

you can either suck it up, or go to a shrink.

imo. the general rule of thumb is, if its not significantly impacting your functioning. dont do anything about it.

shrinks cost more than they're worth. you may not improve at all.

Would you prefer giving an individual with ADD amphetamine salts that stimulate the patient or concerta that doesn't? All though no stimulated effect does it still do what it's supposed to do?

Im onto you op.

>>675620498
you realize both amphetamines and methylphenidate - concerta, are both stimulants..

one is an agonist, the other is a reuptake inhibitor

amphetamine salts are meant to work better in adults in comparison to methylphenidate, but methylphenidate has more mild side effects.

varies depending on the person though.


also if you are taking it at prescribed doses, you shouldnt experience crashes.

>>675620702
graduated exposure therapy.
works if you see an actual psychologist but the general gist is:

- write down list of things that provoke your anxiety
- give them a score of how much anxiety they give you, from 1 being very, very little, to 10 being very much.
- then rank them and start with being in a situation that gives least anxiety, until it gives no anxiety, and work your way up

>>675620289

>>675621129
I was prescribed when I was 16, 19 now. It's maybe perhaps that I was prescribed such a high dose because I thought it was fun to tweak out all day but as months went on I found myself losing up to 60 pounds and having zero social life as I was a very charismatic and social person before. Also, when I took concerta I don't believe I had stimulated effects. However, when I took amphetamine salts or vyvanse I was a weirdo. I think I'm gonna try and take a low dose of concerta first and if good, I'll go from there. It just sucks because I believe I developed serotonin syndrome, I get severe anxiety as I did not give a shit bout anything before hand. Also off antidepressants too

>>675621465
cheers mate, I quit drinking for a month and a half because evertime I do I go back and think if I could of saved my bro if only I wrote to him more or got in contact I dunno cheers anon

>>675621660
thats not what serotonin syndrome is....

you arent meant to binge on either amphetamines or methylphenidate.

its always a good idea to use the LOWEST DOSE POSSIBLE to still get an effect.
i.e. if you only use it when studying, then take 10mg, study, and see if you can pinpoint when it wears off and how many lapses of concentration you had.

then take it again just prior to when you know it'll wear off and see how well you stay focused.

imo something best discussed with your shrink.

if concentration is your main problem, could be depression or something.

So I had two times a relationship with a girl, lasting 3-4 months. Now, we are flirting again. What to do? Should I try? Maybe it will work now? I just miss al kisses and shit

... What can I do to help my depression? I can't take anti-depressants because my liver values are way too high for them. My liver values are around 166, I don't use alcohol or drugs even tho my depression gets worse and worse everyday and it's been diagnosed as "slight" depression about half a year ago, it would probably get diagnosed as way worse now if I'd go and get it diagnosed again. Only thing that keeps me away from a suicide is computers.

i dropped out of college last year due to social anxiety. my parents think it was because of low grades but i only had low grades cause i was missing all the classes due to the social anxiety.

thats your problem.

depression fucks up your concentration bad.
i had it for about 2 years starting in the middle of my first year of medical school.

fucks up your concentration real good.

try getting on some meds and therapy for that, and stay at a baseline level of ritalin.

>>675622932

as for depression id go for therapy. its really the only cure.

they're not amphetamines, don't expect miracles. that being said definitely take piracetam. its stupid cheap and safe. you can literally eat it by the spoonful and be fine. its like a "well why not" type of thing, like vitamins.

>>675623532
depends on what you go into.

last year's medscape salary reports (US) had anything from an average of 422k a year for orthopaedic surgeons to 130k/year for general practitioners.

im a junior doc. so i only get maybe 70k/year not including overtime which racks up to approximately 25% of that. sometimes more or less depending on the amount of night shits i end up doing.

imo there's easier ways to make money than becoming a doctor. the hours are shit, your social life is nonexistent and med school is a bitch to get into.

the only hope is to go into general practice, psychiatry or physician specialities, as they have decent pay and you have time to actually get the rest of your life in order.

but it takes like 3-5 years to specalise. longer if you dont pass the barrier exams.

partially correct. however noopept acts on similar receptors but are not part of the piracetam class.
and its more than nuances. levitricetam is used as an antiepileptic.
while oxiracetam is known to be a mild mood regulator and used as an adjunct (off label, of course) to nootropic stacks.

Well that puts you slightly closer to homosexuality I'd think. But it's not like you can just be gay or straight. As much as I hate to give any kind of verification to special snowflake types, sexuality isn't in any way rigid or binary. Personally I look at it that there are as many sexualities as people, the labels we use just happen to be the simplest way of explaining how we express ourselves sexually. So you can still call yourself straight even if there are some things that are slightly towards homosexuality.

I left a high paying job in Australia to come back to America and live in an RV on my parents property after my Dad's health declined. I had two weeks with him before he died in my arms. Its been a cluster ever since, as of six months ago, I lost my Mom, I was the only family member that stayed with her in the hospital to the end. She left everything to sort out with my brothers, brothers are drug addicts and alcoholics, thieves and liars. Stress through the roof.

Over the last six months, I've lost my tolerance for people's bullshit, largely withdrawing from social events, cutting people out of my life that cause drama. I quit my job last week due to stress. Depressed as fuck, grew up in a poor family, last of five kids. Only one in the family to go to college and leave the country. Feel like a failure, still living in a fucking RV while I rebuild my life.

The fact is that if you're not a danger to yourself or the people around you then they probably won't lock you up. And if you are, they'll probably just want to keep you in until you stop being. The good news is, these things are usually effective enough that even those stays tend to be rather short. There's not really much risk of being locked up for life.
