Every time I try to do anything besides sleeping, I have this sense that whatever activity I'm engaged in I'm doing incorrectly.

Most of the time I can just kinda ignore it, but recently it's been damn near impossible.

Nothing is fun anymore, and all i feel is frustration / anger to the point I have to use physical pain to sort of reset myself for an hour or so.

I don't really feel justified feeling this way, my job is pretty good, my bills are paid and I have money to splurge occasionally.

I just want to be able to do stuff without feeling like I need to punch myself for doing it wrong.

TLDR; I gots a no fun allowed faggot stuck in my head and he wont go away. What do?

Seek a free clinic then, or buy health care off of the exchanges.

For mild anxiety, you can try googling CBD; it's effective at treating anxiety and you can use it on your own.

Or go to a doctor and ask for beta blockers. But no, you can't treat mental disorders on your own; if you could, why would we have psychologists and psychiatrists? Why would anyone have anxiety?

If you have anxiety, anxiety can cause depression; beta blockers are cheap and effective at treating that.

No. You cannot cope with it on your own. That's literally impossible and will ruin your life.

Seek medical attention. Even if you have to set it up so someone sees you having a panic attack and takes you to the ER.

However you are unlikely to have bipolar if you had a panic attack, unless you misunderstood what was actually going on. Almost certainly it's generalized anxiety disorder.

I was a cutter from the 3rd grade till about 17 when I cut through my arm and almost died. Was in and out of mental hospitals for my late teens early 20s.

Left for the west coast in my mid 20s and was a bartender in Vegas for a while. Left and came back east at about 30.

Can never seem to focus or feel connected... thoughts of suicide are always in the back of my mind.

I keep setting myself up and knocking myself down over and over through out the years.

Now I am in my late 30s and I unload trucks for fedex. Can never seem to stick anything through and always seem to be borderline psycho. Living with my elderly parents.

Only thing that gets me through the week is I try to work out and stay healthy... But I see no future and never have really.

What is wrong with me?

I'm always unmotivated, uninspired, and depressed. I don't want to do work, even though I know that it'll lead to me fucking my life up.

I don't have any hobbies at all, and people keep saying "but anon just try new things you'll find a hobby"- I've tried so many times but there is nothing I can cope with for more than a month before quitting.

And...what is your current psychologist doing to help you? What are the medications you are on? What treatment regime are you going through?

>>677692212
Medication is the most effective treatment; foregoing it is like deciding not to use your left arm. You might be able to get by, but you'll never be able to thrive.

>>677692239
I think that's not a psychological question.

>>677692448
Look. I'm going to be a little less than objective right now, so forgive me.

NO ONE will know who you truly are. Ever. Because no one can see what is inside your head; all you can do is try to communicate it, and it will never work perfectly.

That's just how life is.

I have not been to a therapist for 10 years... I cant afford it.

When I was hospitalized in my late teens they threw everything at me you could imagine (for the time ... late 90s).
When my insurance ran out back then they put in me in a state hospital and over dosed me on trilophan (sp?)

My whole life I seem to go in and out of focus and I am always sabotaging my self... from school to friendships to romantic relationships. I set up a life and cut all ties and move on. Over and over and over
>>
>>677686717
Are you a psychologist ?
>>
>>677693340
Yeah, that's not true. Antidepressants have side effects, but they are effective medication for moderate to severe depression.

However, much like say, antibiotics, they are both dose and disease dependent; they work best the worse the depression is.

>>677693247
You don't hate people then. And that sounds like mood dis-regulation; please look into CBT.

What kind of effect would that have on the results?

>>677692813
>so what is your current therapy
I don't have one. I have no idea how to get therapy, and my anxiety is too bad to get it. I know it would be smarter to get therapy but I just can't, my anxiety controls me in situations like this. Even when I have to go get regular eye checkups I delay it by 6 months or even longer because of my anxiety.
>>
>>677693998
Same as answering correctly; nothing, as the results are totally and utterly meaningless.

Might as well look at the wrong month on a horoscope; it'll be wrong, but just as effective.

>>677694067
No, you control you; go to a doctor and tell him you have therapy. Call 911 if you have to; force the issue.

Yeah, CBT is the most effective current treatment and does not treat people as children.

And opening up helps you dis-internalize it. It's like you pointedly ignored what they were saying and crossed your arms.

Actually, maybe treating you like a child would be most effective...sounds like a pouty two year old.

You don't want an SSRI for that; modafinil is more effective. However, Zoloft and Prozak are your best bet for that, maybe with Trazadone and/or Welbutrin mixed in.

>>677698110
Ooh Zeldox, I rarely see that one. Let's see.

Tell your doctor you are still feeling it and would like to try a dose adjustment; new studies since 2012 show that 120mg is more effective without increasing side effects.

That's your best bet; I wouldn't want to suggest moving to different kinds of medication without trying that first.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, except it also causes parkinsons like symptoms. This is well established, and that's why it isn't used as a front line treatment anymore.

is basically guaranteed to fuck up people long term: http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.1176/ajp.137.1.103

and is not as effective as other treatments!

work out

meditate (not as faggy as you think, just go somewhere quiet and chill the fuck out for a bit and just relax)

set small goals, meet them set larger goals

remove stressors from your life (pay debts, remove bad influences)

Meditation is not effective.

Social anxiety is not treatable via most of these methods; this is poor advice that is not scientifically validated.

Also that isn't how drugs work, so maybe you shouldn't make recommendations about things you don't know.

>>677704165
Sounds like bipolar Anonymous; seek medical attention, it is highly treatable via CBT and medication.
