I am the same way. My friend and I focus on trying to not analyze why it's happening but to just go along with the ride. To just relax, make sure I stay safe, and then when I'm in a better mindset we can talk about it a bit more. Sometimes I can tell I was hallucinating, but other times I...

Can antidepressants cause you to feel unnaturally happy? I only recently started to consider taking medication(last time I did it was forced and I ended up fully rebelling against the idea) and just when I'm about to think medication can be helpful and it won't change who I am, a friend of...

First my friend and then my therapist, but I don't take it as an insult. If anything, I find it very helpful/useful for me to know that my friend will be there for reality checks. I need her and I know she doesn't mean it in any way. That's just the type of relationship my friend and I have.. we...

Not so much of someone pointing a finger and insulting you, but when someone tells you straight that your thoughts are mere delusions fueled by anxiety and paranoia. And if you experience hallucinations, how did you handle being told that?

My friend is now feeling a lot better, according to her. I'm so happy for her and I feel like it's such a relief to know that she's not feeling terrible anymore. It's also after her period so that probably helps even more.

I sort of escape it actually. Had a really bad episode of depression for about 3-4 years.. maybe another year. Don't remember. Before I used to think I fully got out of depression but now I have more knowledge and am able to properly look back at that time, I realize that I wasn't really happy...

I'm not sure if this is a good or and thing... but I am like this. Have been for as long as I can remember and I've created a lot of "enemies" and haters because of it. I am more realistic. I am more of the "If I was in a forest with just me and a starving child and a piece of meat, I would eat...

This is what I was thinking and was surprised that my therapist suggested I get into such a career. I'm feel like I'm functioning off a twig, sometimes I feel like I'm functioning off a burnt piece of straw! I don't know how I'd be able to handle things if some really bothersome events occurred.

Ahh I forgot to add that. I don't have DID but I do dissociate quite often.

Because of my Auditory Processing Disorder, I do get overwhelmed if there is a lot of noise going on, if it's loud, etc. It also gets exacerbated by my PTSD and my past, I think, because some certain loud noises make me think something bad is going to happen and I prepare myself accordingly...

I am curious to see how many out there have other disorders or symptoms. I have been diagnosed with OCD and experience psychosis here and there. I do have other diagnoses but I feel those "makes sense" if that makes sense. (Social Anxiety and Panic Disorder.)

I've never left a therapist speechless but because I've grown in a situation where I wasn't allowed to show any hesitation, doubt, or any weakness. If I did, it would be taken advantage of. I was in an abusive home for all of my life and only starting to get help for it. I have left my...

Don't take my word on this my memory is terrible, but I think I remember reading a research article about how some people end up acting out their dreams. It has to do with the brain not sending the correct signals to tell the body it needs to chill while sleeping haha. I will try to look for it...

I have experienced sleep paralysis. In fact , for the past few days I've been getting it pretty rough. Sometimes you can take control and turn it into an amazing lucid dream but for me when I experience sleep paralysis it's just panic and my thoughts are zipping past me. So if I'm telling myself...

She only just started today so I'm hoping her body is just kind of freaking out a bit to the change.. She's taken it for a long time, as far as I know. She has sleeping problems due to her ADHD so she was prescribed the medication to help her relax, but the thing is that she also takes a...

It will be my friend's birthday in a couple months so I'm trying to do a heck ton of drawings of paintings of her favorite animal and some quotes tagged along that I think she will like.. she always appreciates home made stuff and I never really made a true sketch or painting for her thinking my...

Okay. Thank you for offering the reassurance.

Right now I'm not feeling too well. I'm feeling pretty sad but also tired so I'm thinking I'll stay up and draw and force myself to become so exhausted I pass out before I start to cry. Since I'm not feeling too well, I apologize in advance if I reply while not thinking so clearly. That is a...

Earlier today she said she felt like her hands were not hers. I told her that it sounds similar to dissociation since that is what I experience. Right now she's feeling very annoyed and is very sure it is not dissociation because it's not like what I explain to her when I am currently...

I feel so empty and I feel like I'm on the verge of dissociating. I'm not sure if I want to because although I know it'll give me a break from all this, I also lose a lot of time and I can't think straight. It's uncomfortable because I'm not me... but I also don't want to deal with all of this...

My friend today was given an increase in her dosage for Mirtazapine yesterday. She took the increased dosage this morning and immediately she thinks it's starting to affect her by making her "dreamy" and she says it feels uncomfortable. I suggested that it may be because she already takes...

I suppose I could. I just don't want to make it seem like it's some emergency.. I think she told me to only call if I think I'm going to harm myself or someone else. I didn't feel or even think about harming myself when I wrote that reply, but I felt a good amount of sadness. Maybe later today I...

I feel so tired of constantly crying and not being able to fall asleep before 1-2am. Right now all I want to do is sleep and not wake up. If there was a poison pill in front of me, I'd immediately start making a plan to make sure my friend has things taken cared of before I leave. I want to be...

Forgot to reply to this. Unfortunately my appointment ins't until Saturday. Feels so far away..

I don't disagree. I've noticed that a couple months ago I can't even bring myself to attend my classes. Last year I was struggling but at least I was attending. I was just getting a diagnoses and other problems were going on, but now I just go to the school to make my parents think I'm going to...
