Hi,
I'm new here. I have dual-diagnosis and have had another psychotic break. I'm at my wits end and am tired of being released after just one week of inpatient care. I have struggled with this for far too many years and have hurt the people I love so much, it kills me to no end. Now, I don't have insurance and frankly, I'm at a point to where I want to do something to give back to society. I want to volunteer myself for research. I want to give back I guess is what I am trying to say. I know my family does not truly understand me and why I am the way that I am. They were blessed by being born normal. Me, I was cursed with this and I'm exhausted. I don't know what else to do anymore, than to volunteer for research. Perhaps, they can learn things from me and maybe my loved ones can finally be proud. I don't want to be this huge waste of life. I honestly want to do something that might help future generations. I have recently had another psychotic break and I am terrified. I'm so tired of all of this. I'm exhausted. I'm isolating now because I don't know what else to do to protect my loved ones from.... well, ME! Isolating is not an answer, I know that, and I am searching for solutions that might be beneficial for not only me, but for research as well. I had one promising lead, but she has not called me back for a second contact phone conversation. I am a little discouraged because I am very serious about this. Does anyone know where I can turn for this search? I truly want this. Thank you |

Haven't you been able to get insurance under Obama care? You have until the end of this month to sign up. If you need help with this there are navigators you can work with that will help you find an affordable policy.
If you're interested in getting into a study, I would suggest contacting a large teaching/research hospital either in your state or a nearby state. I've seen advertisements for medication studies for specific mental illnesses, but none of them where inpatient. Good Luck. |

Or check with NIMH or NAMI, these are national resources for mental health. They should have a database of studies or research.

Home - ClinicalTrials.gov will give you an idea of what kinds of studies are being done. At the very least, it will occupy your mind online for a while.
Whether or not there are long term inpatient studies in your area that would suit you, is something that you may discover researching through the trials. I do wish you good luck |

Clinical Trials: Psychiatry/Psychology | CenterWatch
The one by poor princess is probally the better one.
