Has anyone had to fill out a SCHEMA questionare and then had to do therapy to work on what the results of the questions? I was asked to fill one out and now have done some research on it, and am totally dreading the therapy techniques that go along with this type of therapy. I guess I am...

Thanks for the input, I wish I could see someone else but if I cancel or miss any appointments with this current psychiatrist he has said he will have the proper authorities pick me up and have me admitted against my will. Nice way to end the first meeting with him...I really don't like this...

Does any one use this drug or have used it in the past? The psychiatrist I see, which I do not like and do not trust one bit want's to put me on this. I am very hesitant I know of the side effects and they are not very pleasing, I think I would rather deal with the depression and ptsd then the...

Because of my work schedule changing I have to decide if I want/need to continue seeing a psychologist. I am just not able at the moment to take time off for the appointments, it would only be a temporary situation, so I could eventually go back to weekly sessions. Or if needed I can possibly...

Natalia, no I have not ever acted on my thoughts that is why my therapist says it will never happen, that I will not that I am not going to abuse my children or anyone else's.

Bluecat, thanks that is what my therapist basically said to me as well, but the feeling is still there. I understand what he is saying and get the logic behind it but still fear that I will or I will have children that do that to each other one day. I fear that it is genetically impossible...

I have had suicidal attempts before, many years ago I was going to jump of a bridge a couple months ago I was really thinking of od'ing on painkillers and a few weeks after that I wanted to cut my wrists with a razor blade. The only reason I didn't use the blade on my wrists is because I wasn't...

I don't think I can switch psychiatrists, I think the current one wouldn't believe I am going to anyone. He said if I miss an appointment with him or my therapist he is calling the authorities to have me brought in, so I am scared as well to even try to see someone else although I really do not...

I do feel my therapist has my best interests at heart he seems to really care and wants to help me. This to me is just crazy because I don't understand how or why anyone would want to even give an ounce of care for me. It's his lack of choosing a psychiatrist for me to see that has me pissed...

The psychiatrist I went to the other day wanted me to do inpatient I said no and then he continued by threatening to have me picked up by the police. He then also suggested outpatient and that was almost all day long so if I did any might as well just do the damn inpatient is what I thought...

Well let's just say I have not had a very good few days. I finally went to the psychiatrist for medication adjustment/first time assessment, and things did not go so well. I hate the doctor and never want to go back again, but I am being forced to go which makes me want to go even less. The...

It might be best to see someone else, on top of your ptsd issues you don't want to add the issue of seeing these people and having a confrontation or anything with them.

The ways I have been told are to basically push the thought of your head, through music or just through your own will power, say hey i don't want to do this and think of something pleasant. They haven't worked all that much yet but I am trying!

Yes, this happens to me I can being the most mundane type of task and the thought damn i should slit my wrists, or jump off a bridge or something like that will pop into my head. I have been told this is a form of obsessive thoughts, like in ocd where you have an obsessive compulsive thought or...

Your I hate this room comment is exactly how I feel as well. I think of it as "walking the plank" like in the old pirate movies each and everytime I go to my therapy sessions. Your walking a line and wham throwing yourself overboard as you enter the room and the door is shut behind you...

Yes, I have had panic attacks that I thought were seizures. It doesn't seem like a normal attack my muscles twitch my head jerks around just like during a seizure.

Anyone tried ritalin for their depression/ptsd issues?

I am sure a lot of you have or do see a psychiatrist, and I know they prescribe meds but what is the point in seeing one if your regular doctor prescribes them? I guess I am asking because I have always just went to my primary for my depression meds, and now my therapist wants me to see a...

So I thought I was doing good with all my ptsd/depression/suicidal thoughts but today I cut my self with a razor blade. Not deeply or anything, it barely drew blood but the fact that I did this scares the hell out of me. Also the fact that the cutting felt good, made me feel better for a...

Thanks for the info catjudo, the part about my family not knowing and me doing that treatment... I was thinking they would have to know, you can't just go under anesthetic and let to go home by yourself, let alone after you have had volts of electricity zapped through your brain. It kind of...

I have had suicidal thoughts pretty much as long as I can remember...I have told my therapist about the recent ones and today told him about the ones I have had this week, anyways to me it's like a normal part of life to have them. It to me is almost no big deal since I have had them for so...

Does anyone have any advice on ECT therapy-good or bad? As well as nerve stimulator therapy? I was introduced to the idea of either one of those treatments today, and frankly from what I have read they both scare the crap out of me.

I feel that these contracts are in some ways helpful but in other ways, I see it as if I am really going to harm myself none of that is going to help. In my case I signed one just because it was that, go to the hospital or have my therapist call a family member to keep an eye on me because of...

Not that I can remember did my abuser turn the situation around and try to make it like I was the one who was responsible. Nothing was every really said at all about the abuse, he just made me do it and told me to keep my mouth shut or he would kill me and that was that.

The discussion in therapy today was of how I am afraid to be around children because I think I will molest them, because it was done to me. I have read and heard that people who are abused are more likely to abuse, when I am around kids, I don't have any sexual thoughts or anything. I often...
