I always had the main psych problem I've had since I was 7 or 8, but anxiety wasn't a problem until I was a teenager.

You should try to go out tomorrow. I used to carry Klonopin with me too.

I used to take seroquel for sleep. Before the psychosis 25 mgs and after 300mgs. It made me feel zombiefied. And I put on 50lbs. That psych nurse refused to take me off it.

But for sleep you should be ok on 25 mgs.

Now I take 250mgs trazadone, 50 mgs hydroxyzine for sleep and all my other meds I take at night.

The rage comes and goes, that's livable. The sexual dysfunction, fine. The Jaw clenching, fine. The chronic runny nose, fine.

I'm fighting for a life worth living and I don't see one worth living where I can't feel emotions, or one where I have severe, chronic panic attacks. Life just sucks.

Okay. I'm venting. I apologize. My bad.
No you need to vent. I know, I know it's so hard to choose. I really do miss the confident, energetic, optimistic, joyful woman I used to be. On the meds I'm pretty dull and boring, not creative at all.

Having mental iillness sucks big time!

What really calmed me down was someone talking to me very calmly and asking that I pull the cord on the bus for him. So a calming human INteraction got rid of the negative one somehow. So one of the things I have on my calming card now are podcasts just because the voice tone is so calm....you know npr type stuff. Anyway my card has five things on it to appeal to different senses. One is to smell something nice, I put a sliver of soap into a Baggie and put that in my purse....another is texture, feeling a velvet cloth or just rubbing your arm a bit. Music/podcast. Photos. Some are situation dependent like doing yoga, or stopping in a bakery or coffee shop because these places appeal to smell taste and often sound. I also carry a small piece of chocolate or lifesaver for taste on the go. Anyway maybe some of these will help take the edge off?
Those are all great ideas. reminds me of grounding skills. But I never learned any of that when I was doing cpt. I've been told by a couple therapists she wasn't doing it correctly.
Thanks for this!

I get them from the damage Wellbutrin did to my brain.

On average, I have a good 5 hours of peace a day, from 12pm till 5pm. Untreated, that's the time frame I think about purchasing a gun.
Oh please don't do that. you're a very kind soul. You're needed on this planet.

I take a tiny dose of lorazepam, but only bc this idiot psych nurse put me on it when I was having severe akathisia from latuda. She's like u need it to calm down. I didn't know at the time I was having akathisia. I should have been put on benadryl, congentin or other meds for akathisia.

I would never increase the lorazepam. Too hard to get off of. And I deal with anxiety too.

I just looked at my worksheets and this is actually dbt....distress tolerance...maybe I'm more a fan of dbt than cbt? All I know is you get to eat chocolate with this one . They should have a book called chocolate therapy...I would buy it

yea i think your right about the xanax.
my pdoc prescribed me to take 4 pills a day. which is a total of 2mg a day. um i actually never had a doctor do that before ill admit. i personally really like xanax over other antianxietys. ive taken klonopin and ativan before too. idk if i took lorazepam. but he probably gave me so much to begin with because he also has me on 3-4 pills of haldol a day and 2 pills of an AD. and like 3 pills of trazodone. its just a mess. hes honestly wayyy overmedicating me with each medicine actually. but i need that xanax. ugh i need it all but just not so much...

Well it was a number of things. I had a really bad episode (my worst) where I shaved the side of my head and cut into it quite deep. The result was a handful of stitches and no chip. Then I got a hold of my psych medical records which I thought would be full of documented evidence about the chip and being monitored, again nothing special there.

My fiancee had left me at this stage because he couldn't get through to me and I ended up moving home to my parents. My whole life was torn apart because of this delusion. I got mad into drugs like mdma and it was on these drugs that I started to explore my mind and analyze these ideas when they just kept getting that bit harder to believe. I realised I wasn't 'special' and that I was just like everyone else slogging along in this World trying to better themselves and do good.

I was also on a depot. It was the first time I've ever been med compliant because I attended every three weeks. These thoughts just kept getting pushed farther and farther into the back of my mind. I started focusing on things like getting a job, hanging out with my friends, getting my fiancee back (which I did), education.

Granted I'm still in a ****** situation, I've yet to find a job and have not returned to college, but I'm still here.
Thanks for this!

Lorazepam is generic for ativan. Oh I thought you were taking like 4 mgs a day. I've seen some ppl on pc on like 2 different benzos at high doses a day.

That's just not healthy at all. And those docs prescribing it, should be investigated.

I had ADHD. My hyperactivity really destroyed my opportunity to get a decent education as a child/adolescent. I'm just lucky that I'm naturally somewhat intelligent and could keep up in college without the same foundations everyone else had.

I reckon I still have the attention problems, but that could just be from a lack of stimulation.

Well my dad died when I was 4. Then my mom attempted suicide like 7-10 times in and out of the hospital. Was sent to relatives frequently. Was bullied and dealt with some racism. Was pretty much a loner. I would rock all the time and missed grades 3 and half of 4 bc I was too terrified to leave my mom's side. I was a very scared little girl...But wasn't diagnosed with anything. I'm sure I would be today though.

Omg just reached out to one of my sisters. She's so freaking fake and phoney. Lives in her little la la land. I don't understand ppl like her and I don't want to. She's not truly happy. She doesn't feel anything at all with any depth. It's all about having the big house, nice clothes. Now one of my nephews is just like her. Just a bunch of judgemental snobs.

That ***** couldn't have survived an ounce of what I've been through.

Times like this that I miss my mom the most.

All she worries about is me being completely numbed out on meds. She wants me like her. Completely no passion, no true happiness, unemotional. If that ***** had it her way I'd just be locked away someplace. I feel true hate for her sometimes...
