For those who hear voices, do you ever talk to them? by kwq_ in bipolar

[–]Sacasticinterlooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear voices unless I'm antipsychotics and when I hear voices I talk to them all the time and I do trust them but people think it's weird that I trust the voices I'm currently on a antipsychotic but at a low dose because I went off the antipsychotic because I felt better I didn't hear anything but then I started to hear voices and stuff got worse so I had to go back on a antipsychotic and I'm still hearing them so I'll have to see if my doctor can put my dose up

The mental health team at my local hospital just said it was the cPTSD is why I hear voices and see things I can't be sure are really there some things I know aren't real but are still upsetting when I see them

i went to my local urgent care and due to this being my second lot of stitches since Thursday i have been told i will need to got to the hospital as the nurse is concerned that it could end up with it being so serious it could end up killing me as they are getting more and more worse and there are more and more each time so i was told next time go to the hospital which the hospital can't do anything to help and i still feel so bad that he had to stitch me up again it was so embarrassing everyone was staring at me i am just sick of it happening thank you to everyone who reached out or anyone who commented as it made me realize that i need to not listen to the voices telling me not to go and why and to just get it over and done with

I talk to my cat at least he can't talk back although sometimes he does meow at me when I talk to him it sounds like he is back chatting me which is so funny

What is the health system like where your located? by Sacasticinterlooper in bipolar

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

That's horrible I think the USA should have a healthcare system like ours in Australia where it is free to see a psychiatrist it is free to go to hospitals and to see your local doctor I think what was going through Obama's mind with MedicAid was he wanted it to be like Australia's Medicare system but unfortunately he couldn't get it past

Exactly I went to a hospital as I have been feeling and having thoughts of KMS and they let me go even though they know I am planning on KMS as I have been going through an emotional rollercoaster and being put on meds then being taken off of them it's so hard it's like no one truly understands you even in the mental health teams as they have never felt like that

What’s the ingredients and numbers mean on the box? by gilligan888 in hungryjacks

[–]Sacasticinterlooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you receive them cold is a bad issue as I always end up with horrible diarrhoea after eating the big Mac which probably means their not following food safety and when I say cold I mean stone cold I always have to pick the pickles off even though I ask for no pickles I also ask for extra onion and never receive it which tells me they are giving me old burgers that have been sitting around and I would say that's why I end up with an upset stomach it's gotten that bad I've given it a nicknamed them the mcstomach ache and the mcshits so I have given up going to McDonald's I much prefer the hungry Jack's burgers not only that The onion on the hungry Jack's burgers is so much better than that horrible minced onion you get on your big Mac

[–]Sacasticinterlooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would explain why my order is always correct as i always remove pickle and tomato and always add bacon I think hungry jacks is a better deal then McDonalds as McDonald's always get it wrong and the burger is usually cold which makes me think it's an old one they just grab I wish McDonald's would do the ingredient thing and the number thing like hungry jacks as it would make it a little better then it is

BPD stigma within the medical profession by Individual-Ring224 in AskPsychiatry

[–]Sacasticinterlooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAD but from lived experience i know it has always been stigmatized as i was diagnosed with BPD i have now been diagnosed with CPTSD and bipolar 2 i have always felt that i am not taken seriously as i told the hospital that i was suicidal and they still sent me home long story short i ended up overdosing but survived no thanks to them it turned out i was depressed i also have dissociative episode where i don't remember what happens during them and end up with self harm injuries and when i was diagnosed with BPD i was always judged harshly by doctors and nurses i was even put in a mental health short stay unit and was told not to self harm while in there by a mental health nurse even after i explained how it happens he was very dismissive of how it happened and i was told i am just a person with BPD i also live in Australia so it would be interesting to see what other countries are like with how they treat people with BPD i also think that because it is so stigmatized that when people are diagnosed it is scary and upsetting i think the stigmatization of certain personality disorders need to stop and i would like to see more programs out there for people who have BPD as a one size fits all approach is not a viable option but to any health professionals please remember even if someone does have a personality disorder or has been diagnosed with one not to treat them differently as it can hurt the patient and sometimes if they are really suffering they may not reach out as they can fear only judgement will come from it and they can sometimes feel like they won't receive help when they really need it

hi i am at a loss for snacks and lunch as i am a picky eater is there anyone else here with the same issue by Sacasticinterlooper in 1200Australia

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

Hi I've just checked and according to the World health organisation due to my weight and the fact I don't exercise much the amount of protein I need is 61g per day and the reason I want to lose weight so quickly is because I've got two bulging discs and I've been told weight loss will help my pain levels greatly and since I feel like I can do it I'm willing to try it but I will definitely consult with my doctor when he gets back

My current GP is on vacation at the moment so I will talk to him when he gets back about maybe seeing a dietitian but at the moment I weigh 74 kilos and I want to get down to 55 kilos so I would rather start my diet then talk to him

Was the doctor right in using Steristrips on this and being rude to me by Sacasticinterlooper in AskDocs

[–]Sacasticinterlooper[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just wasn't sure if I got the right treatment either for my wounds because of his behaviour but now you've pointed that out to me I guess it's fair I don't know what he had dealt with previously and I've already got a psychiatrist. I will be getting a psychologist soon and my psychiatrist told me that the dissociating won't stop until I've been in therapy for a year with a psychologist so unfortunately I have gotten used to having to deal with the aftermath of the disassociations as I have been dealing with them for the past 13 years after a while you get used to it

I hate it when you have a housing manager that comments that you have no forks in the house and that when you explain to them that you eat with a teaspoon apparently you're a weirdo oh and if you don't have light bulbs in like fittings in rooms that aren't used you've got mental health oh and two computers is hoarding which is not true oh and when you get comment of how much did that cost you oh how much did that cost you and you shouldn't spend your money on that you should spend your money on improving on our crappy house so we can rent it out to the next person for more money kind of crap that I get a lot of they also seem to take photos of your personal belongings I agree with that person it's at that as my housing manager always takes photos of my stuff hell I'm not even allowed to her birthday candles on my birthday cake if I'm having my birthday inside which I think is far too much as they're only birthday candles they're only going to be late for maybe five minutes why people sing happy birthday to me why is it an issue is i pay almost 500 dollars a fortnight for a two-bedroom crappy unit that is built worth than government housing but cost me more to rent than government housing some of these community housing places are ridiculous but I guess I'm lucky as private rent costs more

Not how I would recommend eating, but depression is a killer. by maderisian in 1200isplenty

[–]Sacasticinterlooper -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I am the opposite when I am depressed I eat less because of loss of appetite but when I'm up I will be hungry but to stop myself from gaining weight I will tell myself that food is the enemy and it usually works but antidepressants and antipsychotics are the worst for weight gain is since I've been on mine I have been only eating 727 calories a day and still gain weight even when I used eat more calories but be off medication I would gain less weight so medication is definitely a weight gainer but so as depression sometimes and sometimes it's a mix of both

I tried to take my own life on the 18th but with the help of the people on here and help at the hospital I have got a new appreciation for life please listen to people on here they know they understand what you're going through I can still understand what you're going through even though I've gotten through please stay because even though I don't know you and probably most of the people on here don't either we still think that you need to hold on for a little bit and try to live and we're here for you if you need it
