I'm feeling better? Not hearing voices anymore, that always clears up on meds thankfully. Still feeling a bit disorganized but it's not too bad, as far as I know I'm coherent?

I've been thinking a lot lately of trying to get a therapist. But I fear opening up to anyone. I usually avoid people as much as possible and I never allow anyone in to get close to me. I'm not sure how to get past these feelings in order to seek help. I feel like a therapist will just want to get me a doctor who will then just want to put me on medication. No offense to anyone here but I fear all the side effects that comes with taking medication. I would like to have a therapist to help me sort out all this junk in my head but I just don't want to cover it all up by taking medication that may cause me other issues. Any advice?

idk what to say cracking
thats usually how it goes docs dont usually listen to me unless i bring my dad in to advocate for me sometimes. idk if its just me or what. but they don't listen to me im almost afraid that Im going to have to beg hands and knees for them to change my medication. it isnt right. my dad advocating for me only helps a little bit. I may have made a mistake somewhere along the lines of some time ago but when I told him or when my dad told him I liked him he laughed at me. if you have a certain illness therapist will not treat you unless are seeing a psychiatrist

You don't need to take medication or agree to see a psychiatrist (unless you have a severe illness that threatens your safety and that of others). You can tell the therapist that. Most will respect your wishes. Why do you think you will be made to see a doctor?

[QUOTE=The_little_didgee;3477581]Opening up comes with trust which takes time to develop. I am in therapy and have been for about 19 months and I am only starting to trust her. My first few appointments were really difficult, because I was scared of getting misdiagnosed again and judged. Feeling vulnerable is yucky but I try to talk because she has been very patient with me.

I just feel like that would happen again because the only two places I could go to for help are known for this type of thing. I wish I was strong enough to try to get help again. Maybe things could be different this time. I guess I won't know until I try. |

Lol, y'all skipped 13 and made a 14?

There is a 13 but the title was controversial so it was easiest to make a new one.

I haven't been hearing music lately and I've been doing much better. In medical terminology I received an A and I'm waiting on my other grades.

Some of the police aren't that bad, well the ones that don't want to kill me.
2 brought me home today and OMFG the female officer was actually nice to me, well she did search me first. The crisis team just piss me off - I hate nurses.

Last week was a really, really hard week for me. I look back on it now and realize I was doing really bad. I'm better today, but not fully. My mind is still racing but not nearly as fast.
I'm nervous about Christmas Eve. We're going to my step-mom's which is fine and all, except... it's the first holiday at her house that my dad wont' be there. It just seems so alien to me. Both me and my husband were talking about how it still doesn't feel real. Like, it feels like I'll walk in over there and he'll just be sitting in his chair and give me a lecture that I didn't call or visit for 2 months. ![]()

Kureha, you have to take the meds for a sustained period. Taking them one day and not the next is not going to have what the docs call a therapeutic effect, it's completely predictable that you will be treatment resistant if you are taking meds like this. Why not pick a med that you can tolerate , and btw tolerance takes some work , gradual titration or taking the drug for at least a month as prescribed , should hopefully see you over the hump , until you can then tolerate the med and take a therapeutic dose going forward. |

Faerie I sympathize about tomorrow night. Is there anything you can do to help make it easier? Plan breaks? (Even if they are to the bathroom? To heck what people think!) Can you set a definite leave time when you get there? I know nothing will keep it from feeling strange. I hope you will get through it okay. I am sure you can do it.

My friends keep talking about people they know with schizophrenia and it's SO hard to not be all 'uh...I have it and I don't do x so shut up, we're not all like that. ' :/ But I don't want to out myself.

Dr put it up a couple weeks ago, but I take a lower dose than they say.
Still taking it though, helps with my anxiety.
