Do you have mental health problems and how does it affect your life?

[n0rthface]

I've been recommended to go to Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and want to see if any other users have similar experiences.

No they made everything worse apart from zolpidem which helped me sleep

Insomnia is a bitch man, but my doctors wanna focus on my “anxiety” and “depression” instead, when they’re probably caused by the insomnia itself.

god damn pharma jews. clear them out now. Glad zolpidem is working for you tho bro, my remedy rn has just been codeine and whisky tbh.

Same it has such an insane butterfly effect too which leads to more stress and even less sleep brutal

 

[Clown Show]

Sever mental health problems and it severely affects my life.

It literally affects all aspects of your life, school, social, work. How are you gonna be productive or socialize when you you’re severely tired and have terrible brain fog.

 

[thenewhebbe]

Maybe social anxiety. But otherwise no

 

[High Cortisol Chad]

I had no significant mental health issues until I was 22, then out of nowhere got extreme anxiety and depression, was suicidal for years, now it subsided by 90% and I'm pretty sure it will eventually completely reverse to a point like I felt before 22. I've tried 6 different antidepressants, all are a joke and barely reduced my suffering. Opioids which would not create tolerance would be good antidepressants, but they have no idea how to do it. My father roped when I was 16, my aunt and grandma had been also depressed for years so genetics fucked me in that regard

 

[n0rthface]

Maybe social anxiety. But otherwise no

how would you say it makes you feel in ur average day?

 

[Danish_Retard]

I have aspergers and OCS (obese child syndrome)

Was bullied and shunned/excluded because of it, so I was left with anxiety, depression and 0 self-esteem or identity. You can rebuild tho, renaissance arc

The best thing I ever did for my mental health was finding a psychologist using Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy, CBT and other shit is fucking useless if you have an IQ over 80.

 

[Deleted member 28691]

bunch of fucked in the head niggaz, mumbai mental asylum shit!

 

[Deleted member 28691]

I just have down syndrome, @JackTheKnife is my caretaker.

I bet half of this forum's users' biggest problem in their life is being addicted to this forum.

I have been learning a lot about mental health in my major and will further specialize in the future.

(DBT) is a good and something I recommend to a lot of people to try. what i have learned is that a lot of people don't actual suffer from chemical imbalances 'so to speak' but are more haunted by their memories. A chemical imbalance can be created simply by just not eating enough or having a bad memory.

DBT will help those who have extreme reactions to life in general by changing their mentality. Just changing my perspective and having stoic thought processes helped me out in general.

I'm reading that DBT was created for treatment of BPD

DBT is based on the idea that 2 important factors contribute towards BPD:

• you are particularly emotionally vulnerable – for example, low levels of stress make you feel extremely anxious
• you grew up in an environment where your emotions were dismissed by those around you – for example, a parent may have told you that you had no right to feel sad or you were just "being silly" if you complained of feelings of anxiety or stress

The two bulletpoints resonate with me a lot which i find interesting as I had a girl tell me I have BPD.

No

I don't think I have mental health issues in the classical sense, but I have trouble connecting with other humans, and I'm not sure why. I tried therapy, but it was shit. I'm searching for legal medication to change how I feel in social settings, but haven't found something yet. Tbh, not being able to have emotional connections does make me feel mentally bad, so I might have mental health problems.

In what why do you have trouble connecting with people?

I can maybe help as I have been self isolating for a long time but now have started to be social and make friends.

you're preaching to the choir man. yeah it's a treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. it's a personality disorder that is considered the feminine variant of anti-social disorder. traumatic experiences are a considered to be a cause for it.

there is a lot of ways that it manifests and its mostly in interpersonal relationships. developing oneitises is a symptom as well.

I pretty much felt like i had it for awhile, when in reality i was just being lied to a lot. the only piece of advice i can give you is to be patient/gentle with yourself and others. a person with borderline experiences very normal things at a heightened level which results in very heightened reactions. "its like being a child trapped in an adults body" however a child's tantrum and an adults tantrum is a frightening difference.

If you read into it further and watch lectures about it a lot of borderline people grow out of it with maturity.

I can have normal conversations and read all social cues, but I never get to have close friends and I'm always like a third wheel, don't know why.

Does it manifest differently in men and women?

 

[n0rthface]

find people with common interests and then spend a lot of time with them?

 

[darkness97]

yeah when I say that I mean it's more common disorder for women to have, while for men it's antisocial disorder. antisocial disorder is more criminal.

just from rereading it, it stems from a fear of abandonment. in this fear, people will do anything they can to avoid the rejection to the point where they end up guaranteeing it. they have an intense desire and fear of intimacy at the same time which results in the people afflicted doing irrational shit in the moment.

DBT) is based in stoic practices. but more with an active guide (therapist) to keep you track.

 

[looksmaxxed]

i suspect i have a few issues but i never get it checked out. most of humanity managed fine without psychology or psychiatrists. plus my rationality is strong enough to overpower any delusions that might arise from these conditions

[Danish_Retard]

It's the most effective and research based treatment currently, and I can personally say, 100x more useful than retarded shit like CBT.

From Wikipedia: "The therapy's primary goal is to help the patient overcome internal resistance to experiencing true feelings about the present and past which have been warded off because they are either too frightening or too painful. The technique is intensive in that it aims to help the patient experience these warded-off feelings to the maximum degree possible; it is short-term in that it tries to achieve this experience as quickly as possible; it is dynamic because it involves working with unconscious forces and transference feelings."

This shit has literally changed my life for the better so much more than any self help or other "therapy" has.
