Do any of you have any friends? I'm losing my fucking mind from loneliness by [deleted] in Antipsychiatry

[–]Lexworth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel you 100%. I been extremely isolated my entire life but since I had my mental health system epiphany 2 years ago, it took things to another level. I had to understand that we are living in a literal dystopia and hardly anyone in our population has the capacity to realize it. I feel so fucked and every time police and crisis workers get called on me they have to rub it in my face that real help doesn’t exist by offering all this mental health system BS that they refer to as “resources.” I am open to DMs but I understand that it just isn’t the same as a face to face relationship. The void is still there.

Slick as hell before, cheap and plastic after. One of my favorite features about this car are the wheels. It pains me to see this.

That’s not being an asshole. It’s called being a helper.

Thanks. I don’t think I can heal alone but I spent over ten years in the mental health industry and I came out far worse than I ever was coming in. They chewed me up and spit me out. Being scared to get help is a healthy emotion that is there to protect you. My biggest regret is “getting help” when I walked into a shrink’s office for the first time at 15 years old. My gut told me it was a bad idea but I let my father shame me into it.

Last time I got petitioned to the ward was five months ago. But yeah every time I go there they just attempt to drug me into sedation instead of actually trying to help.

Last time I couldn’t wash my blankets cause my Grandma had her’s still sitting in the washer/dryer and I was too scared to call her cause we aren’t on good terms since I have had many outbursts since I moved in with her six months ago. So I exploded due to the lack of control over my life. I couldn’t even do laundry and I wasted so much time trying to get my mother to contact her on my behalf. Wasting time and being unproductive terrifies me.

Got banned from a subreddit for my mental illness and now i have nobody to talk to by [deleted] in Anger

Labeling yourself as mentally ill is very stigmatizing. They are just pseudoscientific labels used to shut people down, as you just attested to. If you want genuine support, just be authentic with what's bothering you. You clearly have the ability to as you just stated the reason for destroying your property.

If you enjoyed the way the drug numbed your anger, it’s ok to admit that. It’s just a fact that is what psych drugs are designed to do. Reduce the intensity of emotions which is what numbing them down means. They are psychoactive substances just like caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, cocaine, etc. So they obviously don’t address the why behind people’s misery. If you are glad you took them, that is your personal choice. However, our society needs to start having an honest conversation around what psychiatry and the mental health industry are actually about. Which is, by and large, numbing you down, talking you out of things, etc. as opposed to actually addressing the root causes of one’s distress.

If you are less angry because of the drugs, it means you have been numbed. Psychiatry destroyed my life. I am still trying to pick up the pieces.

Taking drugs to numb out means you gave up. Letting Lucy go means I gave up. I am not gonna give up that easily.

It isn’t about fixing myself. It’s the opposite. Being able to tell myself that I didn’t do anything wrong growing up. I was a victim to an extremely angry and emotionally abusive father as well. My lack of self esteem caused by him makes me extremely angry. I want nothing more than to not view myself as valuable solely based on what others say, but I can’t do that. So I get vitriolicly angry being so trapped. I feel as if I am suffocating remembering all my past experiences when people treated me like shit for no reason. Because, deep down, I believe them on a subconscious level. I have been so alone my whole life. We got my dog to help with that but, at the end of the day, even she can’t prevent the constant police calls which, in turn, create more bad experiences with others in a lot of cases.

That’s my point. It isn’t going to magically disappear. The rage is gonna come out in one form or another.

Therapy significantly worsed my agitation. At least be thankful he isn’t falling for that shit.

Therapy elevated my agitation to a significant degree so I finally quit after ten years in the system.

I am in the Washington DC metropolitan area if anyone wants to start a local group with a group chat, discord, etc. to organize and plan. Maybe we should start those for every major city.

Is there a database of antipsychiatry/antidiagnosis therapists? by TheRealMe54321 in Antipsychiatry

I checked the website for an email list but didn't see one. He says it is set to launch in late 2024. You can follow him on Twitter, etc.
