    I get triggered by the sound of a door

    Yes I'm still in therapy, but he's not very helpful. In multiple sessions I've asked how to deal with anxiety and stress and all he discussed was how we had inner thoughts and all that. It wasn't helpful at all. He didn't teach any coping skills at all even though that's what I asked for on...

    I get triggered by the sound of a door

    I used to hallucinate a lot. Everyday even, but the most scary they became would be someone following me or tapping on my window. Before I could just walk away or hide under my covers and listen to music. My hallucinations never affected my music. Eventually I got a psychiatrist who prescribed...

    I get triggered by the sound of a door

    So about a month ago as well as about a week ago I had a really bad experience. I experienced hallucinations in my room and it really freaked me out. The worse one was when I was in my bed and I was listening to music. All of a sudden I hear a woman in the background crying(in the music). I...

    No positive outcome

    Yes I am in therapy. I'm back on my medication and I'm feeling a little better. I can feel myself slowly declining though. It's what happens at night.

    No positive outcome

    So for a while I was feeling better because I got a change in my medication, I finally managed to get a job, and I was doing pretty good. A new, good friend, who is now my love interest and things are good. But things are slowly going downhill again. I couldn't continue my job because it was...

    How do you help someone that is determined to die?

    She's got a good handle on DID except for one person who is very violent and so she needs someone around at all times when she goes out just in case he becomes present. I believe it's her schizophrenia and her situation that bothers her the most. She does speak with doctors for both physical...

    How do you help someone that is determined to die?

    No it's not. A different, semi-new friend.

    How do you help someone that is determined to die?

    That is the point both my friend and I have reached. Her health is chronic and won't improve any time soon. She has DID and Schizophrenia which is hard for her to manage as well as depression that has not been responsive to therapy and medication. She believes that dying would be a blessing...

    Antidepressants don't fully help

    I think medication has caused my opinion and way of thinking toward suicide to shift permanently. First, with nortriptyline causing me to feel complete apathy, I now can't feel guilt when I think about suicide and leaving people. The guilt used to tear me apart, but ever since I felt the...

    How do you help someone that is determined to die?

    A friend of mine has expressed determination about suicide recently. She's attempted many times before and this time she feels that it is the best decision for her. Her life is really difficult due to her health and people not willing to accommodate her disabilities (work, friends, etc.) and...

    Antidepressants don't fully help

    Yes. I'm seeing both my therapist and psychiatrist once a week. I mentioned this to my psychiatrist so at least she's aware of my thoughts. Because there were other side effects that weren't so enjoyable and caused distress my psychiatrist said it's up to me if I want to try another medication.

    Antidepressants don't fully help

    I'm still only about a month's in with this antidepressant so I'm not sure how much longer I need to try it out.

    Antidepressants don't fully help

    I just don't like how when I do get suicidal thoughts, I feel determined while on medication because I feel that's pretty dangerous.

    Antidepressants don't fully help

    I was just wondering why even though I'm taking antidepressants I'll still get moments where I feel severely depressed and get suicidal thoughts. It's different while on the pills, though, because when I get suicidal thoughts I feel determined at one point or another. It's definitely improved...

    Told parents about need for psychiatrist and therapist

    A handful of days ago I decided to open up to my parents about how I've been seeing a therapist for about a year and have decided that medication is something that would greatly help me. I originally didn't want to tell them. My parents were really physically abusive for most of my life and...
