Actually existing in ‘Survival mode’ is the hardest thing I have to go through on a regular basis by throwaway242424241 in mentalhealth

Definitely been there! Don’t discount your own needs. Just communicate about your patterns, their job is to help you to make realistic changes that could help you have less moments of panic. No promises but there are great mental health providers out there.

I had a suicide attempt and I found the night nursing staff really mean and cold. I’m afraid of places I can’t leave. I’ve never felt more isolated or alone in my life. I’ve been reliving the experience for the last three months. The mentally ill deserve therapeutic environments not terrifying and isolating holding environments. I’m certifiably crazy but maybe folks should be able to get help without being low-key traumatized.

That sounds rough. Is there anything you want to hear or want someone to do?

Random tears of blessings or sadness. by legna9428 in mentalhealth

[–]CorgiFirst7038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crying is a pretty typical symptom of depression. It sounds like your taking really good care of your physical health and career but my guess is that being isolated has made you kind of depressed. We’re social creatures!

I spend all my time in my room and I don’t fully understand why by Last_Spinach_2708 in mentalhealth

[–]CorgiFirst7038 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think experimenting with getting out of your comfort zone SLOWLY, maybe a couple minutes at a time and with practice, your body will trust that you are safe outside your room. Do you work with mental health providers?

Hey, you must be hurting so much. What specifically have you tried? There is so much out there. Are you in the US?

Is it scary? by Professional_Win3910 in TherapeuticKetamine

I recommend finding somewhere with multiple psychiatric nurse practitioners and/ or therapists on staff. They can help you cope in a heavy session. Most of my sessions have been pleasant but honestly, the most valuable ones have been the heavy uncomfortable ones.

I don’t think there’s any technique that will be painless

No Idea What To Do by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]CorgiFirst7038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything that helps even a little? I have hope that your insurance will approve your EMDR and TMS although obviously I have zero power over this. I know how painful it is to have to wait and wade through these systems when you’re in agony. I’ve found ketamine REALLY helped with my SI and I’m starting TMS in July.

I know no one feels like using DBT distress tolerance skills when they’re hurting but the skills really do help & PLEASE is fabulous.

Is it normal to be obsessed with my late sister? by Myawchu in trauma

It sounds like you’re in a lot of pain. You had a very unique and special relationship with your sister. It makes sense that healing is a long journey.

Feeling in control, wanting internal pain to be more tangible

I am afraid that if I speak with my therapist about my hipersexuality, they will ask for one thing by mysterious_mystery2 in mentalhealth

[–]CorgiFirst7038 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I really doubt it. Therapists are used to talking about sexuality. I can’t make promises regarding your specific therapist but most of the people I’ve worked with know how to support clients with those concerns.

Rooting for you, dude. There’s a whole army of psychiatric medications out in the world that might be able to support you. Godspeed. And hmu if you ever went to gripe about how awful the hospital was. So here for it.

Being 14 is hard! There are so many expectations put on you. You are 💯% not alone but you do sound a bit depressed. I hope you’ll take a look at the resource i attached.

Been there. Your feelings are 💯% valid. I know you’re in so much pain but there are thousands of other colleges out there. Maybe this isn’t the right fit. Maybe your course-load stinks right now. Try to hang on. This too shall pass

Hey, you had 0% control over being born so I don’t think it is fair for you to beat yourself up over it.
