I got sectioned a few months ago because im a heroin addict. I made a thread on it a few days ago. I had to spend a week in the psych ward. Towards the end it was kind of fun because I met a friend. I'll kill myself before I ever go back though. The worst part was I was the most normal one there, so all the crazies came to me and told me their problems because I listened. There was a poop in the shower also. 4/10

holy shit i was also a heroin addict and spent 2 months in a psych/rehab ward. it was a small place so only room for 2. after a month of being alone a girl is admitted, and she left her shit in the toilet without flushing hahaha. and there was no toilet paper in there either

Lately my anxiety has been unbearable. I have always had such problems but right now it's killing me, i am shaking even as i type this. Can someone please help me with what i should sum up to a professional when i visit? I feel like i definitely need some medication and therapy but going there scares the fuck out of me and i will probably mentally block from stress when i go there if i don't have a precise list of things that i should say.

pls help

never taken any. so not sure how effective they are. i was on zoloft for years and that helped with anxiety a bit but i came off of it a few months ago. my psych is trying to push more meds on me atm.

Hey man, you could always bring a list or send an e-mail before you go. In my experience everyone has been very understanding and supportive. You could always just say I have really bad anxiety and find it difficult to talk about. They will ask you questions you can then answer, which might make it easier? Hope that helps a bit.

I made a solution with polyethylene glycol and clonazolam powder at .5mg/1mL and 30mL total.

I'm not sure if I'm mentally ill. I'm able to function just fine when I'm at work. I've never missed a day, but I have been late because of difficulty getting out of bed. However, almost all of my time off is spent in bed feeling intense self hatred, fantasizing about suicide, and rationalizing about why I can't improve myself. I wonder sometimes if I just want to die because I'm too lazy for life.
>>
>>29833583
No and I don't want to. I'm OCD, I think I'm on them because I don't take to SSRI's well. The difference has been night and day.

I don't understand how Tumblr romanticizes mental illness. This has been fucking HELL for me. It's not cute, not fun, it's terrifying and scary. It feels like your chances of a normal life are slipping through your fingers.

But we will get better, we will improve!

Hey, boys :3
I used to come here mostly for the memes even though I'm not exactly a normie. I felt fairly good about myself then but now I literally can't stop thinking about my body every time I go out. I mean literally as in that's literally all that's on my mind. I can't stop comparing myself to everyone around outside.
Is that a mental illness?

>>29833667
Does it inhibit your quality of life? all of these disorders are spectrums. They can be mild to crippling
>>
>>29833609
Of course there are exceptions to this rule but I THINK that the majority of Tumblrers who claim to have a mental illness are dramatizing it or are appropriating it for the sake of fitting in to that community. It may not be a conscious decision but it's probably there

I dont know if there are any kinds, all my therapist and psychiatrist have said was "you're an obvious case of OCD"

I get really bad intrusive thoughts, I have thoughts I cannot think about because they're dangerous. I repeat my words to get them right or I'll be hated, so it sounds like I've got a stutter.

To relieve my dangerous intrusive thoughts I'll have outbursts of profanity or I'll have to repeat "Hitler" three times to punish myself for thoughts I think are dangerous (yet I can't control them)

I'm afraid that my thoughts can kill my family, even if on a logical level they cannot. So I punish myself for them.

My symptoms come in intense waves every few months, sometimes I just ride through them, but there have been times where I have been taken too hospital while catatonic.

Also have auditory and visual hallucinations in periods of extreme stress, but that has only started recently.

Do they speak from the perspective of another person? They don't have to leave your head to be considered voices.

From my own perspective. They're not another person. They're literally me. It's just this asshole in my head writing down everything i say and do.

Though on occasion I'll tell myself that the person I'm walking behind is scared that I'm following them and I'll freak out.

Yes! It can! Medication and therapy have been proven to treat OCD

Despite the gloom and doom of this thread, there's a lot of hope in mental illnesses. Even schizohrenics can go off their medication with the right amount of treatment.

Not shitting you. Years ago the prognosis was grim, but nowadays, it's gotten 10000x better.

It sounds weird but these people are honestly luck to have what they have NOW and not back in the 50's and 60's.

Enjoy your withdrawal seizures when you cut it out. -zolam's are fucking hell.

I got out of the hospital most recently a month ago tomorrow. Diagnosed with MDD, generalized anxiety disorder, and substance abuse disorders with opioids and benzodiazepines. But I've definitely experienced hypomania, I'm completely sure of that, so by default I have bipolar type 2 (all that requires is at least one hypomanic episode).

The depression is a bitch. Meds don't help enough, therapy just makes me feel worse, I do basically nothing nowadays. The words the psychiatrist used were severe and medication resistant.

The partial hospitalization program I went to focused on ACT and DBT. I fucking hated that shit, it was infantilizing. I quit and started getting high again, and I don't even regret it.
>>
>>29834784
Fuck off. Medication has helped me a lot.
>>
>>29834784
You are harmful and toxic. These people are being helped.

Go be schizophrenic somewhere else
>>
>>29828739
the only anti depressant I need is more money but you goys go ahead enjoy being experimented on
>>
>>29834808
I already know that money doesn't make me happy. All I do is spend it on drugs, binge, and feel even worse when I sober up in the hospital.

Not that that will ever stop me.

I don't know if I have a mental illness (ADD, but that shit is normie-tier) but I have these very bad moments of the worst embarrassment of all time. And it's for extremely autistic shit as well. I'll give you an example.

>be me at the supermarket
>buy my 15 or so groceries, no problem
>go to self checkout machine because I'm socially retarded
>everything is going well
>machine breaks halfway through
>girl from the store walks up to me and tries to fix the machine
>says she can't fix it and she will just get my stuff at the express lane right by the self checkout
>recognize girl, went to my high school
>stand there with wide eyes for 10 seconds
>"sir? I can get you over here"
>literally just fucking walk out of the store without my stuff and drive off

And I never let myself love that shit down. Anytime I go to that grocery store or one of the same brand, then I remember that situation and immediately just get a massive wave of embarrassment and can't let go of it.

Advice stop tiering your mental illness.

Schizoid Personality here.

Indifferent t b h

>>29834943
I'm saying in the sense of ADD is nothing compared to what some people have. The only problems that come from that is that I forget shit if I don't take Vyvanse in the morning. Some people have really bad mental illness that need serious treatment and I jut forget shit from time to time.
>>
>>29835115
I love how people pretend that amphetamines somehow only help people with ADD function better.
>>
>>29835127
I didn't say that. I said I take it to make me not forget shit.
>>
>>29835150
I wasn't accusing you of saying that, I was saying that the medical profession says that. I'm basically just mad that you get Vyvanse and I don't.
>>
>>29835190
Oh, my bad, I thought you were accusing me. Yeah I do feel you on that. It's under the "controlled substance" list so it's very hard to get unless a psychiatrist prescribes it to you. It does help with more than add though, I feel better in general too after taking it.
>>
>>29835115
It's all a spectrum. Severe ADHD kids are non-functional and missing portions of the prefrontal lobe.

stop tiering these things. It's stupid

>>29835127
I got Focalin as well as two years of eye therapy (ADHD was affecting my motion tracking and eye sight)

My doc didn't think Meds were the only solution
>>
>>29835231
>>29835245
The point is that psychostimulants will make pretty much everyone function better in the right quantities. There's a reason everyone ran on that shit during WW2, and people like Hitler and JFK got speed shots constantly.
>>
>>29835245
I'm not ADHD. I don't have hyperactivity, if anything the opposite. ADD means you just have a problem with remembering shit
>>
>>29835335
It's not ADD anymore lad.

It's ADHD-PI, ADHD-PH or ADHD-C

You're likely PI (Primarily Inattentive)
>>
>>29835359
Ok, well then I am ADHD-PI, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is not much compared to the other two. The "normie tier" labeling was merely a joke, I understand that mental illness is mental illness, but some is worse than others.

Just got out after another suicide attempt. Living with my parents for now because they're worried I'll try again if I go home. Snuck out to the liquor store last night so I'm going to get drunk today.

Anxiety and Depression
been on sertraline for a month and I dont really feel better, actually feel even less motivated to do anything.
anyone experienced with sertraline got some tips?
>>
>>29835499
As far as Zoloft goes, if you don't have an uncontrollable urge to kill yourself, you're not doing too badly.
>>
>>29835527
does it get better tho? got frequent mild headaches and aint feeling these pills helping me, should I leave these pills or switch them or talk to my doctor or wait or what? I knew that they are not going to change the way I feel about myself (aka massive fucking failure) but I hoped they would at least help me push through the day.
>>
>>29828739
I recently came back from a couple days ago.

Boy what a mistake.

I reached out to get help for once in my life hoping that things would work out for the better for once in my life instead of the usual of getting worse.

I'm not wrong for thinking that I could reach out and get help but I'm wrong for trying.

I'm an idiot.

I knew I wouldn't get help but I tried anyway knowing full well id fail.

"Talk to us instead of calling a mental help line or the police."
>a few seconds later
"Don't say that or you'll have to go back"
Donald Trump pls.
>>
>>29835587
Honestly, I have no clue. I was only on it for like 3 days before we decided to get rid of it and double down on Wellbutrin. Talk to your doctor if you aren't satisfied, it's their job to try to find a medication or mix of medications which help. Some ideas could be to add another antidepressant which functions differently like Wellbutrin, increase the dose, or switch to another med/combo.

Suspected AvPD here. Currently waiting to see a psychologist for a psych evaluation, but that is expected to take 3-4 months. I don't mind waiting. The bad part is knowing I have to go to actually receive a diagnosis later on. I tried going once before but entered a panicking state once I was there, so I lied to them and acted like nothing was wrong with me. Then I said I was probably just wasting their time and just walked out after apologizing.

I ran home that day.

High functioning ASD, formerly known as aspergers

I was diagnosed at 6 but my parents didn't tell me until a month ago. It explains so much.
>>
Just clinical depression and anxiety.
SSRI side-effects sound fucking horrible and my last two attempts at CBT went abysmally thanks to the people I was seeing not listening to anything I was saying and only hearing what they wanted to hear. Now I'm just waiting out the clock until my fear of death is overcome.
For some reason the depression and trauma has made me very prone to fits of rage so maybe I might be able to go Supreme Gentleman.
I promise that if I do, I'll wear a shirt with anime titties on it so you know it's me.

Psych and therapist think I'm in the prodromal phase of schizophrenia

Any schizo's lurking? I need advice.

Who else PTSD here?
>>
>>29835686
Holy fuck I know that feel.
>First doctor in hospital I saw told me to hurry and make it quick because she was going on her break soon (this was when she knew I was there because I'd tried to commit suicide that morning).
>They couldn't work out where to put me, I got driven back and forth between three different hospitals in the same city for 6 hours because they'd drop me off at one and the paperwork would be wrong and they'd take me somewhere else.
>Didn't get told anything when I finally made it inside, I just got shown my room and the shower and got left there. I had no idea what I had to do and none of the nurses could tell me what was meant to be happening from there.
>Got locked out in the psych ward courtyard at night accidentally (the doors locked automatically after six) and the staff couldn't find me, even though I was standing in front of three fucking security cameras. Luckily one of patients who was non-verbal saw me and dragged one of the nurses to the door to unlock it for me. He was a top bloke.
>Indian cunt of a doctor stormed out of the session because I accused the level of mental health support I had gotten to be as useful as an AIDS lollipop.
I admitted myself voluntarily because I wanted help but after the Indian cunt started yelling at me, I went to one of the other psych people and told them I was ready to leave and that I just needed to "be myself". That was about a year ago and I haven't tried reaching out for help since. Considering my terrible experience I had with Headspace (Australian free mental health support for under 25) the year before that, I don't think I will again.
My depression has gotten so much worse over the past month (to the point where I'm crying daily instead of just holding it inside where it just makes my chest hurt) but every time I think about getting help I remember how I was treated and it make me angry so I just keep it to myself.
I'm starting to seriously plan my suicide now.
Exit bag seems perfect.

cut off contact and stop giving them money

I heard this is the easiest and most secure way of getting autismbux, easy to prove or bullshit, but no one will take you seriously if you weren't in the military or weren't deployed to a war zone. Can you comment on that?
>>
>>29838058
what do you have ptsd from?
>>
>>29838861
Dunno, I wasn't in the military so I haven't bothered. Probably wouldn't be easy if you haven't been in combat even if you've been diagnosed

>>29838912
assault

>>29838807
Sounds like terrible advice.
>>
>>29838058
What symptoms did you have to lead them to that conclusion?
>>
>>29840007
unable to sleep at night, flashbacks, difficulty being in crowds, random panic attacks during the evenings into the night amongst other things. It took around 2-3 months of regular check ups for them to diagnose it. I've been medicated for it and I go to regular therapy but not too much has changed. I can never actually go to sleep now unless the sun is up. I'm lucky to work from home so I'm able to do that.

I've been having visual hallucinations along with a lot of paranoia, lack of motivation and stuff. Hope I'm not becoming schizo. Hope things work out for you anon,

fuck you jew pill shill cuck

>>29840125
Does it run in your family at all? If not, maybe you could be dehydrated on top of anxious. I hope things work out for you as well, anon. Things slowly get better/more manageable

You're right dood. Schizo's are just enlightened beings.

Teach me to use buzzwords, master

I don't know, my grandparents on my mothers side were crazy and died before I was born so I don't know what exactly was up with them.

Only normies talk to doctors.

EMDR is the recommended treatment for PTSD, has this been discussed with you?
>>
>>29834948
>only one fucking schizoid
Very blatant OCPD, nearly unnoticeable OCD (obsession is needing something and not having it, compulsion is halfway between normal people and hoarders, and I'm a checker), Schizoid Personality, and certain sounds send me into a blind rage.

How do I cope with all my anger and anxiety? People always ruin my perfect order and schedules.
