Been there, done that, don't want to see it again.
Fucking worse than Gotham city.
CHECKS
What's the air speed of an unladen swallow?
1.8 meters per second?
INCORRECT
>you forgot to consider whether it was an African or a European swallow
You ever get high and jack off?
God damnit. I fucked it up. Story of my life.
I don’t get high anymore. I jerk off completely sober. Unless psych meds count.
If you can jack off on psych meds you're a God. Decreased libido is listed as a side effect on almost every single one.
Yes I know. I have sexual dysfunction. I think it’s mostly caused by being on high doses of psych meds for over a decade.
I took 3mg Xanax and 10mg ambien for ten years, user. What are you on?
I have been on many different psych meds. Currently I am on max dose of Vyvanse 70 mg, max dose of Vybrid 40 mg, and 600 mg of Lithium. My dose of lithium may be increased after I get a blood test on Tuesday.
What's your treatment plan look like? Doing cbt or smth?
I have been doing CBT groups twice per week with a psychologist. They plan to discharge me in about 2 weeks when I complete all the CBT groups. After that I am supposed to go to the day hospital for 8 weeks, and then the addiction centre.
If Vybrid and Lithium aren’t enough to combat the double depression that they have diagnosed me with, I am supposed to try Ketamine, and then ECT as a last resort.
Double depression appears to be one of 6 mental illnesses that I have.
If I could give a recommendation for trying ECT, a buddy of mine had can't get out of bed depression with no substance abuse comorbidity and got ect. He ended up way better coming out the outside than he would have on lithium or ketamine.
I want to try ECT. My case is extremely severe and my doctors agree. I think whether I live or die will come down to ECT. My treatment team wants to leave that as a last resort.
Have you been diagnosed with anything? Do you have family to support you in your recovery? Have you done pet therapy yet?
I wish you the best my friend
Well follow the steps and trust that you can and will come out the other side, that's the important thing. Hope it works out soon.
I have been diagnosed with:
Double depression
Anxiety
ADHD
Addiction
OCD
Seasonal affective disorder
I have massive family support.
They bring therapy dogs into the unit twice a month on the weekend. I love dogs. Unfortunately I am never there when the dogs come, as I always take a weekend pass.
Thank you user.
My brother goes in and out of the hospital as well, you are not alone! I am glad you have support, I try my best to help my brother with his condition of schizophrenia. Things always get better, never forget that!
I am following the steps. I don’t trust that I can and will come out the other side. The main reason I am suicidal is because I don’t think I can achieve happiness, even though I don’t require a lot to be happy.
I have been telling the staff that by treating psych patients and sending them back into the real world with the idea that they can achieve their goals, they are sending lambs to slaughter. All of us psych patients keep going back to the psych ward over and over. I feel hopeless.
Why would things always get better?
I wish I didn’t have family support. I have absolutely no desire to live. The only reason I see to stay alive is to not hurt my family who are helping me so much. If I had no one, I would see no reason not to take the easy way out.
What is it with all those suicide threads in here lately?
Every day is a new day, find your passion and stick to it! I got my brother into reading by showing him "the doors of perception". He also echoes similar sentiments about his lack of purpose and meaning in his life.
Just an accurate portrayal of the people who use this site.
No. I mean lately. As in last week or so.
I've seen variants of this thread quite often. I think a lot of people here share the feeling of hopelessness and meaninglessness.
At least I am the real deal. I don’t want to kill myself because my gf broke up with me.
I am in debt, no degree, no job since 2011.
Never had a gf, no friends in this city.
Just moved back in with my folks.
Lots of physical health problems.
I am short, and covered in body hair. My small cock doesn’t function properly for sex or urination, and believe it or not, I grow hair on my shaft.
My theory on way more people are becoming mentally ill is that technology keeps advancing and that is the main cause.
>ebin
Yup, couldn't disagree on that. Live to what you think is fullest
This doesn’t strike me as a good idea. I told my docs that I believe that dying is my best option by far.
Burning technology to your brain cell. All this bleep of information. All these copyright law all these moral. All these gigaoctet. All this blue light. All this accessory. Tool. Plughardware disc.
Have you tried Ayahuasca and DMT bro, shit would totally level you out man
(/dont)
How bad is the ward any cute girsl who are nurses there .
I have not.
This is Anil Kapoor, whats up.
2 of the nurses are like 10/10. Many other hot nurses. Unfortunately I can’t enjoy eye candy. Looking at hot girls just makes me depressed about how hopeless I am with women.
I work in a psych ward
My favourite movie of yours is slumdog millionaire.
What is your job in the psych ward?
OK MAN
Psychologist intern
are you from Hindustan
All right, if that's what you've decided
Man just get to the other side of that ect.
You ever get high and jack off?
Good for you. I wish I could have made something of myself like you did.
I was not born there, nor have I ever been there, but my ethnicity is East Indian.
Ehh. It’s not where you are in life, its the little things you do every day that matter
Get bent. Spent seven months in a state hospital last year.
I wish I could. My treatment team thinks ECT should be the last resort.
I am also Indian by etnicity
I might top that. I doubt it but it remains to be seen.
Dot or feather?
LoL dot
Um. Yeah sure. Who hasn’t?
Have you considered going poo in the loo instead of the designated shitting street?
Man i am from the Caribbean.
Stop shitting on the beach
we Caribbean fuck white girls whom are on holidays
I’ve fucked Indian girls here on a work visa. This is actually very true. They are kinda whores (90% do anal)
Guess that want to snag a husband
