MENTAL ILLNESS THREAD

>Diagnosis: Schizoaffective
>Meds: Abilify and Seroquel
>Treatment: Antipsychotics and psychotherapy once a week

God, getting on antispychotics was like coming down from a really bad trip. I saw everything with such clarity. I felt like I was reflecting on a really bad, drunken night, the morning after.

Voices went away. That was the big one

I hear voices. Officially diagnosed: Psychosis.

Olanzapine makes the voices quieter

Schizophrenia
Meds: olanzapine, ability
I stopped taking the meds because it would interfere with the lsd

adhd, borderline personality/ bipolar (doc wasn't sure) and major depression. I take 5mg of adderall in the morning and work out every night. I don't drug or use drugs recreationally.

Other drugs didn't work very well. I'm miserable but the crazy stuff is much better.

>>35207335

Will taking LSD make the voices worse?

That's why I don't want to take Psychedelics anymore. Will I ever be able to take psychedelics again?

Bipolar II
Adult ADHD
Assburgers

3x250mg Depakote XR daily
1x15mg Adderall XR daily
1-2x5mg Adderall Tablet as needed

Took me a long fucking time to find medications that didn't make me a loopy freak, limp dicked, or a zombie.

PTSD panic attacks driving after two massive crashes. Do weekly cbt theory and once a month an hour with my shrink, and also on prozac and xanax. 40mg prozac and 2.5 mg of prozac as needed.

>>35207102
Severe depression
No treatment
I endure

>>35207367
Yes you can do it, its all about the situation, environment and dosing, altho i can do 4 tabs at once and be fine, best to do it when you're comfy as fuck, eg. 2am everyone asleep watching space documentaries

>>35207356
I met some guy at work that takes adderall for depression it works wonders on him.. I'm curious and want to talk to my shrink about getting it, any tips? For what kind of patients wil they usually give that to?

>>35207102
Debilitating ocd, paranoid delusions. Probably paraphrenia. I don't need a fucking diagnosis. Just gibbs me dem neetbux

>>35207496
its sometimes prescribed for treatment resistant depression. I'd gone through a ton of meds and had a hospital stay before getting put on adderall

Autism disorder. Even tho i'm pretty normal socially, I used to IV ambien. I'm not even kidding. Ritalin too. Sums it up for me. I'm fine now tho, kind of.

I would be much, much better if it wasn't for college and if I had a true passion. I was okay during vacation but now it's coming back, I might start having suicidal urges soon-ish.

>>35207499
Meds will help you m8. You should.check it out. Your shit will get progressively worse

Aspergers
Meds: none available
Treatment: none exist

I'm just supposed to accept that I will never be normal and I'm not even allowed to complain about it. Here's your mindfulness therapy, you stupid fucking autist, we know it does nothing for you at your age but hey, it's not our money we're wasting!

>>35207550
Iv ambien on purpose or forced to?

>>35207102
OCD, Depression. Probably Asperger's, and not the meme kind.

Don't take meds any more. Used to take Zoloft, Lorazepam, and Risperidone. I hated them and don't take them anymore.

No treatment, just keep on going. I used to take painkillers recreationally, but I stopped.

>>35207296
olanzapine made me into a fat cunt lmao

That's the nice thing about Asperger's: it gives you passion like you wouldn't believe, in the most random shit.

Get out norman, stop appropriating my shitty mental disorder I wouldn't wish on anyone

>>35207601
I mean "probably" in the sense that it hasn't been formally diagnosed.

I could tell you stories that would shatter your bones with cringe. I'm autistic, no doubt about it.

>>35207234
weird. prozac, after being on it for months, makes everything seem dull, fake, plastic. hard to describe. i can be at the beach looking at the sunset and it just looks plastic and fake. i also have no real emotions. i just have no highs or lows, which is natural for a person. i can't cry either and i'm not a big a crier, but when my dad died i couldn't shed a tear even though i was sad af

>>35207633
Zoloft made me feel like a zombie, that's how I describe it.

>>35207633

How do you go about getting diagnosed with mental disorders?

>diagnosis

120mg cymbalta. it changed my life!! i used to think everyone felt the same way i did but that wasnt true. i feel sort of like a normal person now

i started off seeing a young psychologist weekly and going to 2hr social anxiety group therapy but i dropped both (obviously). now i am determined to get better and am seeing a new psychologist fortnightly but ive lost motivation and dont want to go anymore. im never going to get better

>>35207720

>>35207102
I have Schizophrenia, treatment resistant depression, Autism, and Gender Dysphoria.
i take Prozac, Wellbutrin, Latuda and until recently, Seroquel.
I go to a psychiatrist once a month and a DBT therapist once a week.

>>35207720
My HS coordinator told me I should see a psychologist because I was sad and unproductive all the time. The therapist told me to see a psychiatrist to see if I need medication. They never wrote me a formal diagnosis but they know what I have.

Try looking for a psychologist or psychiatrist.

in chronological order: oppositional defiant disorder, adhd, social anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, panic disorder, dysthymia(anhedonia), depersonalization-derealization

Schizoaffective disorder.
Abilify and Epilum.
I'm on community treatment orders since getting out of hospital so I have to see a case manager once a fortnight and a psychiatrist whenever he comes in.

First off, let me say that I am looking for a person named 'Calla Linda'. If you are browsing this thread, please, e-mail me at [email protected].

Thing is that my mother works for a major bank, and they have this employee support thing, therapy for employees and whatnot; their children can benefit from up to 6 therapy sessions, nothing too accentuated.

I signed up for it, I just talked to some old man who apparently has 40 years of experience. He diagnosed me with:

-Dysthimia
-part aspergers
-part PTSD
-ADD
-schizoid personality

I have no access to medication or anti-depressants because I'm still waiting to receive my health care, and I'm a student.

I have college insurance that can cover up therapy sessions, but I feel like I NEED medication to pass my courses. No, I am not a normie, I don't go out, I don't talk to anyone, I don't socialize one single bit.

Any tips, anyone?

>>35208092
Is that a real hamster?

>>35207633
Probably because Prozac and Abilify are not the same classification of meds?

The depression, anger, and self loathing actually go away for about 8 hours.

It feels like my brain is improving with each dose.

Diagnosis: bipolar II, major depressive disorder
225 mg venlafaxine
250 mg quietiapine

Therapy x 2 a week

Went through every treatment and drug you can think of over the past two years, including 12 sessions of Electroconvulsive therapy.

Things are improving, slowly, but they are improving.

>>35208272

>>35207102
Diagnosis: Bipolar disorder type 1, OCD, paraphilia NOS (necrophilia)
Treatment: therapy at least once a week, 4 meds
Therapy: Have been in therapy for nearly 9 years. Current psychologist started with exposure therapy for 8 months and has moved onto a combination of PTSD therapy and CBT. It's fucking idfficult m8s.
How I deal with things on a day to day basis: I work a hell of a lot. 9-10 hours a day, and then come home and drink heavily.

OCD and major depressive disorder. Used to be worse, now life is just boring and empty. Been considering suicide more seriously lately.

>>35208435
as a fellow OCD fag I have to ask: have to been to a psychologist that specializes in OCD?

>>35208462
I would think the focus was the alcohol

Me: Depression, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder
Meds: marijuana (self-medication ;) )
treatment: therapy once a week, tendies
experiences with wellbutrin? recommended anti-depressants?

>>35208448
No. I'm sorry if I made you feel that way cutie. I believe in you.

I've been on wellbutrin for nearly four years now. It's helped me quit smoking, lose 40lbs, and turn my fucking life around thanks to minimized depression. I'm not saying it's a cure-all but it can help dramatically if it works for you.

Before this I was on Lamictal for two years, which helped enormously but not with smoking. Did with weight loss and depression though, really great medicine. Everything else, especially SSRIs, hurt more than they helped (to put it mildly)

>>35208538
I wish I had a plush hamster toy

>>35208480
Nope. Most therapists were too obsessed with my chronic depression and anxiety to give a fuck about my OCD. Despite the fact that my OCD physically effects my life

depression and anxiety are usually symptoms of OCD. your therapists were absolute fucking ass. find an OCD specialist, as hard as it is. it will save your fucking life.

how did you guys even get pills
i think my doc was a scam because all he did was talk and did nothing when i told him i seriously wanted to kill myself and that just talking wasnt helping

Lets see I've been diagnosed with a shit of things but the ones I agree with are
>Bi Polar
>Aspergers

Been on meds and therapy since I was 4, got kicked out of school at 6 for nearly killing a girl. Ended up in mental institution in another state at 12, got kicked out for being too violent a year in and sent to a lock down place until I was 16. Then I dropped out of school at 17.

Currently on no meds or therapy.

>>35208623
Unfortunately I live in an area where those only like, one real psychologist. Most therapists who are even available cost way too fucking much. There's really no mental health treatment access for me besides getting my foot in the door or in a room with a social worker who knows fuck all

>>35208635
I told my doctors in explicit detail how I had dramatic mood swings that ranged from extreme depression to episodes with no inhibitions. Constantly obsessed over killing people, allowing their corpses to decompose and then fucking their dead bodies. Had intrusive thoughts and ultimately hallucinations about killing people, of gore IRL in horrific and disgustingly creative ways I can't easily describe in one sentence.

They got me therapy. Eventually I was institutionalized. Eventually I got the right treatment after years of abuse. It's been a long ride to get the right meds.

>>35208700
I currently drive an hour each way to see my current psychologist and psychiatrist, even for 15 minute appointments. I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars on treatment. Stop making excuses. I know it's hard. I know it seems like you could probably make due without it. Imagine if your mental health was your physical health, though. If you had a tumor, and there was only one nearby cheap doctor, would you settle?

Schziophrenia
No meds, stopped taking them last week. Fuck that shit, worse than the illness.

>>35208737
I don't have a real job, and both my parents are wagecucks who barely make ends meet. It's just not an affordable or realistic thing ATM. I'll certainly try to work on it when I'm in a more stable income and place.

And the difference is is that my free health care country of Cucknada would cover my tumour removal surgery, but they don't give a fuck about mental health.

according to evaluations for neetbux:
>bipolar 1
>social anxiety d.
>unspecified personality d.
>autism

did meds but don't right now, it never worked well for me. plus, after a few OD-jisatsu attempts on pills, my body physically refuses to swallow them.

been in and out of talk therapy since I was 12 (21 now), but it's never helped since I don't like to talk about my problems at all, especially verbally (my least favorite form of communication). plus, my ailments aren't as textbook-obvious because I'm XX as opposed to XY so I guess it's harder to tell.

Right now, I just doodle and go on the internet living with my mom and older sibling until they finally get out (ironically, the youngest of us left first). I live life like a voyeur: vicariously. I'm a shut-in (save for weekly grocery store trips with mom and going in the yard to water the plants while the dog pewps) with no daily communication outside of the family, not even online.
I've often found myself thinking about how I'm in a perpetual state of waiting, not helped by living in a place with no seasons, so I think I've already begun to detach from the notion of reality. I guess my "coping" is just living outside of reality. I dunno.

Sometimes, I fantasize that I'll become normal someday and be able to... I don't know how to put it... trust and open up to a real human and become a wife and mother.
But for now, there's always chinese cartoon spouses!

Anon, fuck you hey okay man. I just posted that cause its from another thread. Alright? I don't actually believe in the memes. OK?
My diagnoses I mentioned were given to me by a professional. Pictures I post mean nothing, they are just for aesthetics.

>>35208824
The living outside of reality part, I know that feel. I'm constantly daydreaming I've lost my grip on reality. I just prefer to be in my own created world where things aren't mundane, dull, boring and cynical. The cost is I've lost connection with reality and now reality sometimes feels like a dream.

how old are you?

When and why did you get a diagnosis? Did mom just make you go to the shrink after you became a basement dwelling loser or did they figure out what was wrong when you were a kid or . . .?

>>35209039
>how old are you?
23

>When and why did you get a diagnosis?
3 months ago. I'm very mildly on the spectrum but was never diagnosed as a child because I happen to have quite a high verbal IQ which masked it (communication deficiency being the most obvious symptom of ASD)

> Did mom just make you go to the shrink after you became a basement dwelling loser or did they figure out what was wrong when you were a kid or . . .
No. I went myself because I graduated uni and was offered a job inter-state and started having massive panic attacks over the prospect of leaving home (had this problem my whole life, it wasn't one off).
Turns out autism was the cause of said panic attacks.

>>35209109
So you going ahead with the job or what? What kind of job was it?

>So you going ahead with the job or what?
I told my employer that I couldn't leave my hometown for reasons but they really wanted to keep me so they offered me an identical role in my hometown.

All in all it's been the best thing that could have happened and I am extremely lucky and grateful. Because I am based away from the national offices, I have to travel every week or two for work anyway so I'm getting graded exposure to travelling and started to find ways to work around my anxieties.

>What kind of job was it?
I work for the Federal government.

isn't this like in the matrix, the choice to live in a dream or harsh reality? (never seen the movies)
either way, I kinda think this is letting the dualist rift between body and mind grow so much that one's mind is detaching to fly out into the nether; and, while it would behoove one to reattach the two, chances are we're going to keep at this until the mind is gone.

Good for you, but Im extremely jealous. I was the same age when I graduated, but its been nothing but unemployment and McJobs since.

>>35208737
what's being institutionalized like

who the fuck knows what is wrong with me anymore.

Always thought it was so weird how people would always get my hopes up only to be super mean to me and abandon me time and time again.

This has made me incredibly paranoid, untrusting, and depressed as fuck.

Turns out though this was just conditioning by some kind of shadow organization that uses celebrities and entertainment to control the world's population.

They decided in me they were going to create the world's FIRST super celeb, superhuman, wonderwoman, superman thing that... well I don't know yet. To make people smarter, less hateful? To entertain them a bit with my oddball thnking?

What a terrible fucking choice for this position hahaha.

I will disappoint you all like everyone else except much quicker.

>>35209379
Nah not the treasury

>You probably went to a better university or something though.
Yeah I went to two really good unis. The first I travelled interstate for and went to college because it was the best uni in my field but I only lasted a year before the anxiety got the better of me.
After that I went to the uni in my home city which is still one of the best unis in the country.

All in all I'm very lucky and probably don't deserve the job I have but I'm definitely going to make the most of the opportunity. Especially because I literally did not network at all (autism, remember) and government is literally just a relationships business. I completely lucked out tb h.

None. I'm kind of just allowing myself to waste away under the weight of chronic fatigue, and pushing all emotions into a little corner and letting them build up.

I don't know, does escapism count as a form of treatment? If so, Final Fantasy XIV has been pretty good at that.

I also want to be a girl sometimes but not all the time.
