>Any mentally ill here?
I was diagnosed with depression a few years ago but I stopped taking the medication because antidepressants made me sleep all the time and really ill.
>i just want to die for some things i did because they were so embarrassing and awkward
>think of people talking about me behind my back
I can relate to this because I'm addicted to pills and they make me feel suicidal, paranoid, etc from time to time. But it's fleeting; it comes and it goes so I just try to think of my loved ones who would want me to stay strong and keep on fighting and look for things that I love doing. Try to be more social, go outside at least once in a while even if it feels scary. Try jogging, or yoga. Exercise amd meditation tips are easy to find on Youtube
I hope this helps. Hang in there, my friend.
>any mentally ill here
On /b
is autism mentally ill?
also bipolar and a mild ocd.
I hear that there are ways in which you can eventually remove all symptoms of Schizophrenia, however I'm sure you've heard about them. (If not, take a peek at google, it may give you some drive to survive).
My advice if you're looking for people to talk to, is find an active thread about something you're interested in and join the convo.
Stay strong, man!
Yeah Op. I'm here man. Went into a psychosis because of pot and my doctors just left it at that. Went off medication and five years later (last year) fell into another psychosis. This time the doctors told me I have bipolar. My nurse thinks they will give me another diagnosis because that's what they do. I did some horrible things during my psychosis and I can't forgive myself. I drink every night and take my medication to fall asleep. I hate myself and no one knows. But I try to smile and everyone knows me for how quirky and smart I can be. But I have no gotten anywhere in life. I'm 25 and still trying to get a degree and just working. I can relate brother. But I have found talking helps. How about you?
Aspergers here, doing quite well right now. If you're in bad situation at the moment, id love to help.
>inb4 not an illness.
Mental illnesses are a lie told to categorize more difficult to deal with minds
You might just be ill yourself
Oh yeah so I should better let myself be told I'm bipolar just because I think faster and experience a week of emotions in a day
Hey OP, I've got schizo as well. Got some really embarrassing memories as well, like the one time when I got to this chick from highschool at night and told her I needed to impregnate her and that I was a virgin and we needed to bring God to this world this way cause I was the chosen one, or the other time where I wrote over 50 pages on facebook to this other chick on facebook that now doesn't talk to me anymore for some (good) reason.. so yeah.. psychosis sucks. And my friends still give me shit about the time I called myself the messiah. But meh, ultimately shit could me worse, I have my meds and try my best to not get psychotic anymore and make the best of my condition.
On the plus side it showed me who my real friends were, those guys who stuck with me through those embarrassing and difficult time are my real bros, and the rest of can go fuck themselves. No need to get depressed over it, you it's not your fault.
Please clarify, do you believe you can't be ill, simply because you can't see it?
thanks for the answers so far
means a lot to me
All good OP. I know that feel when people tell you they understand and have been through the same thing. But it's different when they tell you of their experiences.
>>i just want to die for some things i did because they were so embarrassing and awkward
This, all my this!
i'm on meds now that makes me fall asleep so i don't lay awake for 2-3 hours every night thinking about all the stupid stuff i have done.
the best advise i have gotten from doctors is to distract yourself when you are feeling suicidal.
Honestly, he's not completely right, there are mental illnesses, but they're so over and mis-diagnosed. The DSMV-5 is basically created to spend five minutes diagnosing someone that would have in the past taken months.
There was a study in the 70's, where a doctor and some subjects went into a hospital undercover, checked themselves in, all they said to the nurse at the front was that they were hearing voices, another control group said they were having racing thoughts. When they were committed, they maintained their "symptoms." Basically the nurses and doctors chocked everything they did up to these illnesses. Like if they talked to the orderlies they were deemed "overtalkitive, hypersocial" or if they took notes for research purposes they were deemed as having "note-taking behaviour", or potential hypochondria. Oh, and they were all diagnosed as either Schizophrenic, or Manic Depressive and given lithium with very little to go on.
Medical minds tend to look for things that are not necessarily there. Which is scary when it's your mental health. There's so much room for error, and so little we know. Especially bipolar disorder. So many things look like bipolar disorder. Fuck, personality disorders look like it sometimes. It's so easy to misdiagnose this shit for years. Hell, half the time the medication people are on is making them more sick.
You actually cannot properly diagnose someone unless they've been off all medication and behavior and mood altering substances for nine months to a year.
risperidone? Or "Risperidon" in german
Have depression and anxiety. Think about suicide every day. I went off antidepressants since they fuck your kidneys; if im not going to kill myself I at least want to be healthy. I distract myself through education and spending time with friends.
That and a strong ethical code is the best defence against suicide.
b b but muh weed no gib u psykosis. is plant. is natural and c c cures cancer.
I have sociopathy, it's killing me. Literally. It's constantly on my mind.
Also have schizophrenia Sup Forumsro
>i always hate my self for thinks i did when i had a bad phase where my mental illness was very intense
It's not your fault, there's nothing you could have done about it and it's not your fault (or so says my thereapist, same boat)
>i just want to die for some things i did because they were so embarrassing and awkward
I don't know how old you are but at 24 I have really learned to stop caring what people think, I'm a neet, I play vidya and draw or play guitar all day. None of it matters after high school and it's a bitch to watch people have kids & get married or go off an join the military/go to college and live meaningful lives while we just sit here but its whatevs.
>and not everyone knows that i am mentally ill so i allways think of people talking about me behind my back
Same here, I guess the only thing you can do is adapt when it comes to paranoia and every other symptom.
Daddy long legs rip off their own legs but within a few hours they learn to hobble and walk just as well as they could before.
how do you guys not kill yourself and get depressed about this?
I don't think killing myself will change anything, I've been down there. Just hang in there even if all you do is sleep and make sure to eat and shower. If things get that bad focus on the basics. Maybe distract yourself with vidya if you're up for that.
Uh I know the study you're talking about, and it's actually a testament to clinicians. The fake patients were diagnosed with an incredibly rare disorder that's basically relapsing schizophrenia. When patients report their symptoms, clinicians can use this to accurately diagnose them
But, to your credit, the DSM-5 is very biologically based, and mental health might not be that straightforward
Mental health professionals that take their time, rely on multiple sources for information, and don't rush to either a diagnosis or a pharmacological answer are what EVERYONE should be looking for. Don't write off help just because it's not perfect
nope quetiapin, an anti-psychosis that just makes me sleepy :) i take 100mg and after an hour my hole body relaxes, makes my able to plan my sleep cycle, which is fucking awesome since a fuck up sleep cycle was one of the reasons i lost my last job
I have rapid cycling cyclothymia and ADHD-PI--didn't learn about the adhd until last year, tho, which was a lot of "fun". Not on any meds even though I probably should be, both because I'm fucking poor and I had a pair of legitimately terrible experiences with therapists in the past which makes it kind of hard for me to trust a new one.
Honestly the main thing that's kept me from offing myself several times is my pets. There've been several times over the past few years I've actively contemplated it, then realized there'd be no one around to take care of my dog and two cats and they don't deserve to suffer. But tbh the day the last of them dies I'll probably throw myself in front of a train.
very true, psychology is by no means perfect to day, but i havn't met a doctor or nurse that din't want to help me.
I recently was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
It's hard to go through this.
My GF left me just 1 month ago, mother is very sick in the hospital and I feel like falling apart.
Taking meds but I just wants some kind of peace between all of this.
While meds are supposed to help with the biological aspects of disorders, psychotherapy and medication are usually the best treatment for the majority of conditions. Other people in the thread have expressed either their enthusiasm for, or their fear of, psychiatrists and psychologists, but the empirical data is for psychotherapy
Finding the right person for you might be difficult, or you might get lucky with the first person you see, but why not try?
>also sorry about your gf, shit is really rough
In my country, mental health professionals do not take their time.
They read a checklist, and if you fit it, they diagnose you, give you free socialized meds, and then send you on your way.
If you don't fit the criteria, they lock you up for anywhere from three days to three months.
Most of Sup Forums fags are 'muricans, and over 90% of muricans are religious. I think that answers your question.
I'm wondering if I have Borderline Personality Disorder. Can't get to a doctor to actually get screened until I live on my own.
If you don't stop I'm going to call the news. That's right. You will be on the news.
Sorry everyonecant be as edgy as you
Why so?
>schizophrenia
What's it like, user?
I agree that diagnoses are given out way to loosely, but saying that it dosent exit and is a lie, is stupid is my eyes. Know where I can read more about the study?
Where are you from user?
I think the BPD is because of my parents. Emotional abuse. They don't think they did anything, and I wouldn't want them to ever think they did. Better only me suffering than both of us, you know?
Major depressive disorder, single episode, moderate to be precise. but just recently got that diagnosis so wouldn't be surprised if I got a few more diagnoses. First time I went to see a doctor about my depression I could see that my doctor actually looked really scared when I was talking about my symptoms and gave me an appointment to some expensive ass specialist the next day. 2 months, sedatives daily and not really any better.
Schizophrenia aside, how is your telepathy practice?
Self diagnosed or professionally diagnosed?

>Any mentally ill here?
Your in Sup Forums is this a serious question op?
way to hard to describe, its like something you cant just write down for someone you never met before
i was shure that i am mentally ill
i had the theory that it might be schizophrenia because i researched a lot about my behavier and problems, i told this my doctor
i did a lot lot of tests at the doctor
and he said it was schizophrenia
now i have pills against schizophrenia from the doctor but they make you extremely sleepy and are very unhealthy
thank you for all the answers so far, i would take to long to quote all
but i means a lot to me
to tell this again
have you tried any other medications? First few medications for my depression had some really nasty side-effects. One of the meds gave me terrible nausea that was way too similar to nausea caused by chemotherapy and ended up making the depression much worse.
never
but i could inform myself about this
drugs used to treat psychotic disorders tend to have highly individual side-effects so you might have to test a bunch of different meds before you find the one that works for you. Sucks ass whit depression as most of the drugs take 6-8 weeks to start working so it takes ages to find the right meds.
