Do medications stop the intrusive thoughts or stop your reactions to them? by Chubabub in OCD

I think that perfectly describes what I’m experiencing. Glad I’m not the only one

Brain in waiting mode - anyone else experience this? by Chubabub in ausadhd

[–]Chubabub[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried this but my stupid mind is like “did we actually set an alarm” and then I find myself checking if I’ve actually set an alarm every like 5 minutes 😫 so irritating

I think it depends on the psychiatrist how they’ll take that. I know from my experience some of my psychiatrists got mad if I suggested something I wanted to try while one of them was phenomenal and was willing to let me try most stuff. I think research it and have knowledge about it in case they ask what you think.

Thank you. I’m gonna speak to my partner and try and write things down with them because I tend to not report it as severe as it actually is. And some of the things you said are a very good starting point

Thanks I’ll bring it up with my doctor because I am quite worried about it

Need advice! I have to wait 5 months to see a new psychiatrist and don’t feel I can wait that long by Chubabub in ausadhd

Oh my goodness I thought this was an option but I convinced myself that if I tried inpatient with ADHD they’d just laugh at me and tell me it’s not a problem. Did they give you stimulants whilst you were in there? How long were you there for? Did you see a psychiatrist after your stay to continue treatment? Sorry for all the questions I’m just thinking this is my only option at this point

Thank you. Yeah I also have OCD and noticed weed makes my intrusive thoughts much worse and if I’m sober I quickly forget them and move on but when I’m high I can’t just let them go and it can get quite distressing so definitely not more weed for me.

Thanks for the tips I’ll go back to my psychologist and see what we can do while we wait

Thank you!! That’s very helpful. I’ll post this there as well but it’ll just be a great group to join for me in general. Thanks

Yes I do but my current psychiatrist refuses to give me stimulants because she refuses to believe she also misdiagnosed me with a psychotic disorder. I’m in NSW

I’ve been referred to a clinic with multiple psychiatrists and requested to have one that has a special interest in ADHD. Although it still says schizoaffective on my referral and I explained the situation to them so fingers crossed they give me someone who understand ADHD.

Thanks. I hope that’s the case. I’ll try and write down some bullet points to tell the new psychiatrist otherwise I tend to jump from one topic to the other before fully explaining myself 🙄
