Recreation Did you ever...?

Did anyone ever have to go to therapy? Or see a psychiatrist? I had to go for my depression. My mom and dad are thinking about hospitalizing me if I don't perk up pretty soon. I got medication though...I don't think it's working.

 

Never did, never will. I'm as happy as a human, jubilant as a Jew, manic as a monkey.

Hoho, have a nice day... go outside more to brighten up your day

 

Ive one, and a psycologist. Hospitalization (at least in Ireland) isnt to bad, its hard, its scary and can be alittle disturbing at times, but its genraly agreed that if you need to go its worth it.

As with the medication, Anti depressant's tend to need to build up in your system for at least 4 weeks before they will have any effect, if fact there are common cases where they make it worse at first. Also it can take a while to find the right medication, usualy you'll go through many different pills before you'll feel any good effects.

 

Because of the therapists, the pills, and everything else, I feel as if everyone is FORCING me to be happy. Now my mom and dad tell me, "Did you take your 'happy pills'?" It just burns me up.
At least four weeks...? Hmm...that's dumb. And making it worse? That's defeating the purpose!!! Come to think of it, I have been feeling overly depressed since I took my happy pills. Maybe I've been thinking about it too much, I dunno.

I'll try my best to have a good day. I usually have my best days when I'm in solitude and away from everyone. I don't like to go outside either. The mosquitos like to attack my bare flesh. **cringes**

 

You know what... your av and sig... Tsukasa best describes you... hidden away from everyone, mysterious in background and nature...

 

heh I won't ever need to go to a psychiatrist cause I am really really strong mentally, I figured this out on how I have acted after things have happened or I might only be coldhearted

we take this, my parents divorced for about 8-9 years ago when I was about 10 and I basicly didn't care that they divorced and then by the years some other things have happened that I won't take up now, the thing is that it seems like I lack some feelings for different people

one more example, when my mother needed a new kidney or whatever it was then I didn't feel anything special like if something would happen during the surgery and stuff like that

this is weird cause my biggest strenght is empathy, listening to people and understanding their problems and stuff like that.
Ok I am good at listening to all that is said and can easily find out things about people.

ok I just noticed that I take this into the wrong track during this topic but it was a bit necessary to undersand the whole picture about my mind in this question

 

That's why I'm so attached to this character. He's just like me. Do you mind if I use this in my sig as well? Lol

HPM, I understand. I can relate to the not caring part but I can't as far as the divorce thing. I know how it feels...it feels as if someone just carved a giant piece of you and threw it out of the window of a flying car and has yet to slow down. **I hope your mother is alright** Listening use to be my strong point as well. One of my friends was begging me back and said to me in a letter, "I miss not having you around. No one listens like Jen-Fer." Yeah, I use to put up with everyone's problems and quite frankly I'm fed up with it. I don't have friends anymore, nor do I think I need them. All people ever did was disappoint me when I needed them most. **Except for my family** I think that's why I am the way I am today (or maybe it's hereditary...my mom has the same problem as me but it appears that she has it under control) I guess now I'm the M2A freak.

 

Sure go ahead... I don't mind.

 

I've never been to therapy.And I probably won't need to.I've been depressed a few times,but I always got through it.I guess when ever I feel down,I remember everything that makes me happy.No big deal for me.I'm almost always happy about something,no matter how small.I hope you can cheer up,R.O.D.

 

Meh, ive did a 1 hour session with a shrink-type-person to see why my handwritting was so bad... just so i could get a scribe for my exams... they asked to many questions just to determine a simple hand writting thing

& am i the only one that notices that you cant spell therapist without using rapist... they screw about with your mind to much

 

ROTFLMAO! the-rapist= therapist. I don't think I could go back without laughing my arse off.

But I use to be like that. I use to let everything roll off my shoulders if confrontation were to occur. I use to call myself "happy-go-lucky" because I literally was. Hell, my AOL screen name was HappyGoLucky04 and now I changed it to WingsofSolitude. Big change...hmm...
I remember when I use to be happy or when I would try my best to be happy and usually it paid off. But now...it seems kind of hard to be happy now. Thanks Blue Crow, I hope I can find a way to smile again too.

 

ya I had a hole buch of theraphy and I saw a lot of psyciatrist b/c you see I have Obssesive Coplusive Dissorder and I got extreamly sevear depression. I take pills and I think they kinda work but my mom wants me to take more -.- ya thanks mom lets drug me up more

I was in the hosptial for a while b/c I was suicidel and for my OCD I aint crazy or anything it was I had to stay there to figure what medications where right for me and I needed theraphy on how to deal with things

Well I am a lot better now my OCD is like very very small symtums, but the depression is still pretty bad like I am still to depressed to get out of the house bad but hopefully it will pass

 

Wow, Quistis, I'm glad you're getting better. I might not have had OCD but I was suicidal. I remember when I was in class one day, **when my nails were sharp** I can't remember why I was doing it but I started to slash at my wrists with my nails. It didn't cut any flesh but it left horrible red mark on my wrists all day. A student caught me in the act and turned me in. The school counselor and my teacher of that class tried to talk to me about it but all I did was smile. I probably freaked them out. They told my mom and dad about it and my mom and dad didn't do anything.
I have depression bad too. Sometimes I'll just sit and cry and I won't know why. I get these feelings of worthlessness and inferiority. I feel helpless and like nothing matters anymore. I'm not saying all of this for anyone to feel sorry for me or anything I just feel like I can finally put it into words. I'll mope around and do nothing. Sometimes I won't talk all day or eat anything. It seems like I've sometimes lost interest in my drawings and everything. It's terrible.
I hope it will pass for you too Quistis.

 

Isn't that when you do things for no reason because if you don't,things feel out of place?I sorta have that.But I can stop.It's just habit.Hope you can feel better,Quisty.

 

Nope, but a few people have told me I need to go to an anger mangagement class. ><;; The thing is I'm not a horribly angry person, I just scare people and I'm agressive and very assertive.

My grade eight teacher told me I should be locked away for good... I think he was joking... I sure hope so... ^^;;

I've only done one really 'crazy' thing before and that was only to piss off someone. HA HA HA.

I'll be sure to drive, fly or boat to wherever you live, and then to the hospital and get yer arse out. The hospital will only make you worse.

By my standards, hospitals in Canada are unbelievably crap. Remind me NEVER to get myself into one.

 

One of my aquantices said that... mainly because i keep hitting him ^_^

& this OCD... would constantly never remembering if you locked the front door & then running back up to check count? i remember someone saying something like OCD to me... but i was to busy thinking if i had locked the door or not.

 

parents took me cause i'm not happy 24/7 and despise my step dad

 

um, I went to the one in London for 2months and I hated it. I didnt know our hopitals are crap. Well the food was crap and the doctors who took care of me where *****'s

Oh yeah whenever I try to stick up for my self or do something that is obessive my mom tells me maybe I should just go back to the hospital My mom doesnt help me at all with my problems she even tells me she has giving up on me and sometimes she tells me I aint a good sister to my sis and I dont do anything (which is total bullshit) b/c I dont try and sometimes she tells me I need more pills b/c I aint happy. Well I got another doctors oppointment thanks to mom

 

i have, i got meds and all that. i got add. i got paranoia. i am depressed. and i think im bipolar.

 

Well I never had to go to any therapist, since I'm always happy. My friends even said I need to stop being hyper. Do they want me depress?

My mom keep on saying to me, "Why are you always depress?" SHE HAVE GOTTA BE KIDDIN'!!!! I'm like happy 24/7. Nothing can bring me down (Angry, yes. Depress, no).

If I get depress, I can always think of the time my brother ran around in the thunder storm looking for a bathroom while screaming. *Fell out of her chair laughing* He he. That was so funny. That always cheer me up when I'm depress.

Well I hope all of you that are depress get better soon.
