So apparently I have adjustment disorder. Which to me means nothing I feel or am has ever been validated and I'm just wasting time and money on a T, PDOC, and meds for anxiety and depression. I am none of that and should be better by now. Going on 4yrs of therapy and obviously I'm still not adjusted so I should just get over it and be the nothing I am. And also. Stop taking meds I obviously don't need.

You're not nothing; you're a person who has the same dignity that every other person has.

Maybe the therapy is ineffective, but that's not an indication that there is something wrong with you.

This world has its share of hate and judgment, but that's no match for love and empathy.

I apparently have "adjustment disorder" too, but I was diagnosed by people who knew me for a day. So I say that diagnosis can't be too accurate and I don't even know what it means
Anyhow, I don't even care. I don't need a name for it, I need to talk about what caused it and I do in therapy.
Whatever it is that causes your pain, it is important to find your individual way to heal from it. Be gentle with your body and soul, and look out for someone you can trust.

I was given a similar diagnosis despite making it clear I've had symptoms for half my life. People just think it's situational, and my own reticence doesn't help - no, I'm depressed because of college, or moving, or "emotional abuse", not because there might be something deeply wrong with my brain or thinking or anything....

Everithing in this world have a solution .Just dont give up maybe the therapy isnt good

I heard that medications work only on a small fraction of people. This means that doctors haven't yet understood the underlying issues well. You're just different, but you're still a human being, and deserve to be accepted by others (and by yourself as possible as you can) as you are.

I don't know if I can accept myself without validation. To me everything is white and black there is no gray. It's either i am one way or the other. It becomes obsessive. I hate secrets. I hate when ppl don't tell me things that have to do with me and it makes me very volatile. I am so anxious and stressed and just trying to get by. Been having a very hard time this week where it just seemed nothing was going right and I should just stop trying.

I literally just wanted to get back in my pajamas and sleep or die. Instead I stayed dressed and cried a bit, yelled at myself, forced myself not to SI, and waited for my wife to get home and be ok. In the span of 2 days I jabbed my foot hardcore to the pt I seriously thought I broke something, tripped (I'm very clumsy) and fell on my arm thought it'd be fanf*ing tastic that I could break my arm the way I landed, and had my kitchen sink back up. To make matters worse if anyone showered the kitchen sink overflowed so that had to be baled. All on my damn birthday which I hate enough as it is.
