my mom and the rest of my family try, but i don't want to be a burden. that and my grandma said that if i was going to kill myself i should just do it and not make the people around me suffer by dragging it out like my crazy great uncle.
>>25465499
My psychiatrist said that I have recurrent depression, but I have only visited him a few times and suspect, that I have bipolar disorder and he hasn't detected it yet.
He prescribed me agomelatine, I'm going to start taking it today.
So why aren't you taking AD's, robots? Probably ~90% here have some sort of depression, and AD's could help some of robots, if not most of robots.
>>25467557
because they dont work
thats why
robots need real psych drugs like haldol

Only if you want to become a vegetable
Have psychosis NOS, it's like schizophrenia but not. Had my breakdown about a year ago. Stayed in my room for three days, hit myself and tried to drink myself to drink. Hallucinated, went catatonic, experienced derealization/depersonalization, couldn't focus enough read a fucking book. Took 4 months to get on the right meds and for them to work.
I got better but now I'm getting worse again and I'm terrified I might have to go to the hospital. I don't want to become a different person/vegetable because of the meds/my illness. Considering an heroing if it comes to that but I'm a pussy.
>>25465499
I have mild autism/ASD, general non-specified form of anxiety, and severe depression, all genuinely diagnosed.
I've tried several different medications throughout the years and none of them have been effective. Aside from side-effects, there has never been a noticeably significant effect on my symptoms, positive or negative. The medication I've been under is the only other treatment I've had other than therapy.
In regards to the issues I've faced, the big one for me has been my anger. Most times I'm faced with it I don't have difficulty controlling it and I know how to handle it appropriately, I'm not really even aggressive/impulsive by nature. It's when I'm already dealing with an overwhelming amount of depression/anxiousness on top of stress where things can get out of hand. It's during a worst-case scenario when I have a complete breakdown and I become violent with yelling/breaking shit. The hospitalizations I've gone under (all temporary/short-term) have been followups in result to some of those incidents.
As far as my diagnoses go, like my autism I don't really struggle with. It is rather mild, any symptoms that stem from it aren't major. It isn't apparent to most people, and if it does show at all, people don't think much of it. I know how to socialize and enjoy being with people, I find far more overall satisfaction from it compared to spending time alone. I'm not that awkward and have developed some decent social skills.
4chan and other media have turned my brain into mush. Please tell me how to break this terrible addiction and become normal again.

>post your meds and problems
300mg quetiapine, its pretty good. Makes me sleep like how i remember sleeping as a child, i wake up really fucking mentally refreshed.
>post your story
went to a festival in europe, took a lot more drugs than i was used to, stayed awake for almost a week. attempted suicide because i totally lost my mind.
>have you been to the loonybin yet?
several times, never for very long. I think I'm fine so i can just easily pretend to the dumb psychs that I'm fine when in reality I'm fucking thinking about walking under a bus.
>are you autistic?
nope
>do you have a mental health team?
i was involved with the early intervention team, in GB they are awesome. Got me fit and well again. Ive been discharged now.

You're lucky you got meds in that short time span. I got hallucinations from overdrinking now Im stuck with them every night. Seriously you should be careful the next time you consider a binge, or at least stop drinking if you do start hallucinating
>>25468252
>I genuinely get sad and worry about things
>>25468968
I drank partially because I was hallucinating, partially because it was impossible to sleep. My hallucinations weren't initiated by the drinking but I'm sure it didn't make it better.
I don't drink anymore though because it makes me feel like shit due to my meds.

>I go to a small college with very little to offer theoretical-physics wise, and the engineering/chemistry departments don't have the people available to even understand what I have in my head, even if I could communicate it
Almost every day I consider suicide or think about how I could be living in a completely false world, and every one of my ideas could be wrong. I double-check them with mental math, but can't write it down because too much communication in that way causes seizures. Building anything outside myself, destroys me.
At this point I'm holding out for some kind of treatment to fix my seizures without ruining my ability to grasp these concepts. It could be decades.

I could write all night about my life, but it is probably not that interesting. To sum it up I have felt lonely, anxious and out of place for a long time.
>have you been to the loonybin yet?
my psychiatrist wants me to go to one.
>are you autistic?
Maybe. Not diagnosed. I've got some autistic tendencies (but who doesn't?)
>do you have a mental health team?
no
the jews are my problems
i think i might have brain problems
over the past several months my speech is getting worse
like I'll say something and forget it
or i'll mix up words (instead of saying "looking for my car" I'll say "carring for my look)
or i'll straight up use the wrong word, or pronounce a word I should know incorrectly
>>25470298
Definitely get this checked out. I don't want to scare you but that is an early sign of schizophrenia.
Diagnosed major depressive disorder with psychotic features, wondered why I was never diagnosed schizophrenic, I showed every symptom of it but it was all tied in with depression I guess, my last hospital stay was for two weeks, well above the 72 hour hold, the first week was spent in a hallucinogenic stupor while the other half was me adjusting to new meds, thank god for Latuda.
>>25470664
If the symptoms become worse the more depressed you become, it's diagnosed as depression with psychotic features.
If you have depression that comes and goes and does not correlate with psychotic symptoms when it does its co morbidity with depression and some psychotic disorder.
It's difficult because depression is really common in schizophrenia.
>>25470806
That makes sense, the more depressed I was the more hallucinations I had, although I was seeing things well before I became depressed
For those that have been admitted to a facility:
1. How is the sexual tension?
2. How much were your medical bills?
>>25470904
Yeah, it's not an exact science by any means. The diagnosis matters somewhat when it comes to treatment, when I was psychotic my psych also diagnosed me with depression with psychotic features and tried to treat it with anti-depressants. Set me back 2 months because those meds didn't do jack shit.
>>25470386
I know I'm just a random untrained person but I don't think I have that.
I mean I looked up symptoms and half of them were just stuff like
>depressed
>doesn't enjoy anything
>socially withdrawn (because I don't know how to socially interact very well)
>etc
I think I just talk without thinking and words get mixed up.
>>25470980
there was some
the first place was 1k i have never paid and they stopped sending the bills
the second one was like 12$ a day for 2 weeks
OCD, probably depression as well but that one isn't diagnosed.
Seeing a psychologist for half a year now, haven't made any real progress.
Today I noticed the skin of my hands was getting odd, it's almost definitely a result of washing my hands too much. See, when I touch something someone else has touched, I feel like I carry that person with me. With everything else I touch, I spread that person. I wouldn't be able to type this without washing my hands first as I wouldn't feel free, I would have that person typing with me. Also, I hate most people I deal with on a regular basis, which doesn't make it easier. This is only one of my problems but I don't want to detail it all since nobody gives a fuck probably anyway tbqhwyfams.
>>25470980
Sexual tension was only prevalent in the children's ward cause I was around cute but psychotic chicks my age (I was 17 at the time) and some were hot but had serious issues and since I'm still on my parents insurance it wasn't super expensive but without insurance my last hospital stay would've bankrupted my family
>>25471062
It's perfectly possible that it's nothing. That said it could be a very early cognitive symptom. Definitely do keep an eye on it even if you don't see anyone right now.
Borderline Personality Disorder. I've been dissociating a lot more as time goes on. I wonder if this was the person I always was.

OCD. It was obvious when I was a child. I had to do things in sets of 4s, and walk on tiled/wood floors in a certain way. Sometimes I would just about board the school bus on the way home and I would be compelled to just turn around and go back into the school to ensure that my locker was indeed locked.
I'm 26 now and I've grown out of those hardcore rituals.
>>25471405
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "grown out of"? Did you go through therapy?
In the last couple years it's been getting really bad for me, I finally decided to see a therapist because I was worried it would never get better or go away.
I hate myself end everything
By "grown out of" I mean took medication to change my brain chemistry (ssri's) and made a conscious effort to not indulge my obsessions and compulsions.
I went to therapy during my senior year of highschool for depression and we explored my OCD. I took ssri's for the next six years to mellow me out to the point that I'd forget about my obsessions and compulsions. Then I made a conscious effort to unlearn the behaviors.
If you haven't already, I recommend taking the meds. OCD is a part of our personalities. We need drugs to change that.

used to take Cipralex for my anxiety, it stopped working now on Zoloft. havent taken anything for my depression, usually it and anxiety go hand in hand
>your story
nothing special on this board, im sure. KV, no job, don't leave the house, the works.
>been to the loonybin yet?
not yet, but sometimes i wonder if i would be better off there
>are you autistic?
not as far as im aware
>do you have a mental health team?
saw a lot of therapists as a kid, even psychiatrists. i never saw any help from them, realized i was mostly there for weekly appointments so they would get money out of us so i stopped going
>>25467508
how much zoloft you on? i'm on 75mg and i havent noticed anything that extreme. i guess i can function more than i did before, but everythings still shit
ssris do not work true fact
>>25474821
They work for millions of people, including me. BS they don't work. There's literature on both sides on the effectiveness of SSRIs. It's true they are more effective for a specific subset of depression but they do work.
>mental illness
depression, aspergers
>disability

>special education
i was in special education, but then i tried studying in school and i started getting straight A's

Officia diagnosis of ADHD and chronic depression.
Was prescribed addy before my official diagnosis and basically was addicted to them. Tried to kill myself one time, then a few weeks later had a panic attack that put me in the hospital. Took me a year to even have caffeine after that.
250mg wellbutrin a day for me now, it's changed my life more than I ever thought anything could. No more suicidal thoughts and I actually look forward to the future. Alcohol use is down significantly too.
Keep trying until you find what works. Wellbutrin was the 4th med I tried, but it's been so worth it.
