And what's even more sad is that because of my memory issues, nobody thinks I will achieve anything in my life. That includes my doctors. My teachers. They tell me to not stress myself. Why? Aren't I brilliant? Why should I be recognized as a dumb student because my parents screwed up parenting?

Desire2006, in my tuition, there were teachers who wouldn't take me seriously when I asked them questions related to my future. They'd just make a joke or two and dismiss it. I cannot go in detail, but they would just sometimes feel bad for me and tell me "you can do it." So I decided to end my own life, couldn't, psych doc was smart enough to change medications before I tried. So what do I do with my life now?

With your current memory issues what profession do you think you will be comfortable taking up? Be realistic right now...with your memory improving you can achieve what you want to in the future. I m trying to do the same. I m in a condition where I m not even well enough to take up a job. I m sleeping more than 13hrs a day and have huge concentration and memory problems. I make a plan for the day which includes a bit of reading, housework, self-care like brushing teeth and taking shower, and exercise and I try to follow that plan as well as I can. You have to find out what works for you best and try to follow it and add to it as you improve.

I am lost and confused. Will my memory improve? When? What should I do? Should I try to get into med school? What about my mood swings?

Maybe buspar is sedating me a bit. I take 10mg twice a day. Previously I was taking only 10mg at night, but it was getting me anxious and agitated. 20mg keeps me calm and gives me less panic attacks but causes sedation at the same time. However I have just started the new dosage...it's not been a week even...may be the sedation will wear off with time.

Meds do help to improve memory and doctors often add a small dose of an anti-psychotic to an anti-depressant to help with the mood swings. There are some stimulants too that help to boost memory. Why don't you speak to your psychiatrist frankly about your fears and concerns and your ambitions? If you think your current pdoc is not much helpful you can change him/her and find a new one.
I don't know how bad or good your memory and concentration are. You have to decide for yourself. Best of luck to you.

Don't think that you are very old little turtle. You are still helping so many people here including me. I will look up MIA and listen to Robert Whitaker on you-tube. Hugs.

My parents are mentally ill and think it's a big no-no to open up to a psychiatrist. My dad is in there with me in the consulting room. But I will try this time anyway.

Yeah please do and tell your doc that you need to talk to him/her alone for a few mins. I think he/she will understand.

The problem is he KNOWS I am a goner. He knows it better than anything else. I am inbred, injured, infected as well as isolated and abused. He knows my medical history. He knows I have breakdowns. Better than anyone else. So he doesn't want me to know that, he just tells me white lies.

An example of it is, he telling me I can drive. He called his secretory in front of me and told him to give me different meds than prescribed (he prescribed before I asked the question) because he knew I was going to attempt suicide after I come to know that I cannot.

It's very sad, doctors are heroes of my world. Medicine is a heavenly gift for me, as is life. We can solve problems through psychiatry, even those which aren't directly related to the field of medicine, like crime and terrorism. Every specialty is unique and has its own purpose. But so much for health and "competency" of doctors, which is basically how rich and healthy they are, at least here in Asia.

I went into psychiatry to help people for real....not just drugging them...
I wanted to find the cause of serious depression and suicide..
I did not find out about the causes to satisfy me...
but right now psychiatry is using a shotgun approach...
I am not happy with this treating symptoms...I want to treat CAUSE...

It's not possible for me to analyze my psychiatrist, but I will form an opinion on the basis of his behavior anyway. Do you think an inbred, traumatized, injured, abused and then isolated person can ever act normally in the outside word? Of course not.

What can be done? Had I been born to a better family, I wouldn't be disabled at this young age. I would have been an able-bodied person. All hope is lost for me, to ever socialize (go to a restaurant with friends riding a 350cc bike, wearing sunglasses with styled hair) or ever achieve anything in my academic life (earning a doctoral degree for the betterment of the whole mankind? I am sorry but you cannot do that either.)

I really wonder why I am born. It isn't gonna be like a newspaper article where the author eventually discovers his purpose in life. I wanted to be a medical man, a savior, but unfortunately will anything but him.

My case is far too complicated. I cannot be helped. But euthanasia isn't legal here either. So I guess I'll have to wait, and do nothing 'till then. That's the closest thing to end my suffering I can ever get to. Just live life as it is. No change, nothing, complete B.Sc, if possible get a job that hires me (definitely not related to science) and live life 'till the day I die. Even this has some plot holes in it, like how was I supposed to get a job without learning how to drive. I don't want to learn anything, as I have lost the will to live. I don't know why I post things like this here, it doesn't make me feel better. It makes me feel worse. Sometimes I cry when I am alone.

I don't know, the best that can be done, I guess, is to wait 'till death takes me. I don't want to take the pain to do anything productive in the meantime. It's just my case, I have to accept it.
