It sounds to me as though you somehow have gotten stuck with a bad psychiatrist.  I wonder if it might be possible for you to find someone else who would be willing to try to be at least modestly helpful.  "Change your life & practice new behaviors" indeed!  Of course acting normal even though you don't feel normal is certainly one possibility. I've been doing it for the better part of 68 years! Treading water does get tiring after a while. But, then, sometimes treading water is all there is...  |
Thank you, Skeez. I was hoping you would reply. The psychiatrist I went to was the head of mental health medication therapy, and I think also like the head honcho in the whole Mental Health Department. I feel like I have gone as far as I can go with trying to get mental health help. Unfortunately, I am all alone, without a partner, friends, or family nearby as a support. I truly feel like I am headed towards homelessness. I know that sounds extreme but it is how I feel. I have assessed everything I have done and none of it is good enough. If I don't find a decent paying job I will be on the street, so I have no recourse but to act normal, whatever that means.
