mental?

well, right now I know I'm getting over post partum depression. I've been diagnosed with adhd but I don't know if they were right. When I was younger they told me I have social anxiety disorder but I don't feel the same way anymore so I guess I'm over that. I had a really crappy over medicating psychitrist ( i know thats spelled wrong, sorry) when I was younger and now I can't seem to bring myself to go back to one. Maybe when my friend becomes one I'll go bother her, lol.

 

i've never been diagnosed or anything, but i do have suicidal impulses (so i guess i'm depressed). i probably should go to a doctor, but i feel fine now. my best friend has been helping me get through it and i've been doing wonderful. i can't even remember when i freaked out last. it use to be daily.

this is all so interesting to me (this thread). i'm going to start college this fall and get a degree in psychology. i guess its true.. the psychologists are as messed up as the patients. haha.

 

that seems like a very good artical to read

do u know if schizophrenia get worse as you go on?

 

Mine was like, an amazing experience at first and then came the locking up part of it so yeah it got worse for me. However it hardly effects my life these days but then I'm on medication, albeit a low dose which doesn't effect me too badly except for trouble getting to sleep. Apparently about a third of diagnosed schizophrenics recover entirely without recurrence so I reckon as yours is just mild you could be one of these. Be careful though ay? I can't really say don't smoke weed without being a hypocrite cos I smoke it all the time but apparently it could make things worse for you. It was ecstasy that fucked me up along with large quantities of skunk. I now just smoke weed at night to help me get off to sleep and leave the class A's pretty well alone. I guess you just have to hope for the best.

Mary, I may be wrong but I think pretty much everyone gets suicidal impulses from time to time. Life ain't like it should be. We should all be chilling around in caves, going out for a hunt in the evenings and getting back in time for the party till dawn but 'progress' has robbed us of that. Life is safer but quality of life seems to me has dropped dramatically and I'm not surprised most of us are fucked off about it. I think it's because we live our lives for the good of the individual, or at most the good of the family rather than the good of the species like it used to be. Anyway, I'm getting off track. Take heart little lady, as long as you know they're just impulses and must not be acted on I don't think it's worth going to a dr. They'll just give you anti-depressants that you may never recover from having been on. Anti depresants can be pretty horrific having known lots of people who have been on them but never taken them myself. Take B vitamins and/or fish oil (omega-3) if you're miserable most of the time, sorted me out.

 

i've never been diagnosed with anything but depression...and who hasnt? that seems to be some sort of trend amongst teenagers.

I wish they would diagnose me with something, so maybe i'd stop having such "irrational" "unrealistic" thoughts, and dreams, as everyone around me likes to call them.

 

when i was 17 i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. at the request of my mom. i took lithium and depakote for a while. hated them.

i dont think i was every bipolar because i know enough about the criterea for diagnosis to know i did not fit them all.

if anything, i would say i COULD have the lower-grade version (which i just woke up and cant member the name of)

right now...

i am diagnosed with chronic dysthymia and panic disorder.

exciting shit i tell you.

 

I have gas.

 

lol, olhippie you are my favorite.
you must be having a great day with all you gas, and your being happy enough to shit. i am suddenly so attracted to u!

 

I was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, but I refused to take meds. I'm slowly getting over it now, and haven't had it really bad in a while. Basically I just realized that whatever makes me anxious is coming from within me, so whatever will make me calm must have to come from within as well.
