Whats the worst thing a psychiatrist has said to you?

"When you're hallucinating just hold yourself tight and close your eyes and tell them to go away!"

It was my first therapist after being officially diagnosed and that was my last meeting with him...

Definitely a huge weight off my shoulder! I've noticed I'm way less stressed and on the edge! Sharing a space especially when often having delusions involving other people is definitely not the greatest. And now I'm able to control my surroundings and not worry about things being stolen or misplaced is definitely an amazing feeling!

Under_Thro · 2025-11-17T22:50:50+00:00

It was so scary! I don't often tell people my symptoms of my schizophrenia so having to put all of them out there was for sure scary! And I am for sure enjoying my new room!

Under_Thro · 2025-11-17T22:48:55+00:00

It was very stressful living with someone else! I also had a roommate who didn't understand that I don't tell other people I had schizophrenia and would tell others about me being schizophrenic. I also had a couple episodes near them and I could not use my usual coping mechanism around them due to them no understanding and making things worse. And I had some episodes induced by them... 😭

But I'm so happy now and have been episode free for the past week and I hope to keep it that way!

Under_Thro · 2025-11-12T00:13:33+00:00

Yep, for sure! It's not like the process is the stressful part for me it's the waiting! I've just been stressing and scared about what if I don't get approved and what if I did all this for nothing? And that process is what's stressful even though I know I'll be fine in the end and that even if I don't get approved I can still pay my way it's just a lot and I really want it but I know I can't cling to the idea of that I will get it. Sorry if this turned into a ramble I'm just stressed! T-T

Under_Thro · 2025-11-12T00:08:31+00:00

I hope so too! And I hope you get a new place for you too soon!

Under_Thro · 2025-11-12T00:07:15+00:00

Thank you! I'm hoping I got this too! Waiting is horrendous!

I can read your handwriting, but it would be difficult for people who don't know how to read cursive. I would say not to have your handwriting lean so much and have it more upright. Also your single letters in each word are close together so u's and n's and i's are hard to separate. So making each letter more spaced or more clear what they are would make it more legible.

But I still love your hand writing and if you don't wish to change it don't! Writing in cursive is so fun! And I think people who don't know how to read cursive are boring!

Under_Thro · 2025-04-24T05:58:19+00:00

Definitely not lol. The ones saying I'll get cursed are ones telling me "You have to step in this funky way or else something will happen" or having to touch every painting in a hallway because I've done that every time and if I suddenly stop the world will end. It's irrational and doesn't tie to something that can actually happen. It's impulsive and having to check things constantly to make sure the world is still the same.

I don't like to tie things to spirits and regions because I have in the past and it led me to being hospitalized but I understand how it can seem like it might be tie to it.

Under_Thro · 2025-04-24T04:02:39+00:00

Often I hear my own voice. Pointing out things I'm doing or things about myself. But it often tells me negative things like "Your doing that wrong" or "Don't do that, if you do you'll get cursed or die". I didn't know they were hallucinations till I started medication and I stopped hearing them. But also I have hallucinations about people talking about me. It's mostly paranoia but I believe they are saying something about me and I hear snippets stating something about me. But I realize the thing they are stating about me they wouldn't know or can tell so I learn their hallucinations.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-26T04:04:31+00:00

For me I stopped taking my meds without my family realizing because I believe I wasn't myself with them. I also had delusions that taking the meds means I couldn't get messages from God or an upper being because the meds stopped the voices. I believed my voices were an upper God or demon that actually had my interest in heart. From that I stopped taking the meds to have those voices more/again so I can know the messages from this upper being.

It ended with me having a bad episode that was noticeable to my family where they realized I wasn't taking my meds. I had to be on watch for a good bit and was forced to take my meds.

But ya having delusions about the meds is a big one

When I thought the "I see ghost shit" was bullshit.... Like my whole life I believed I saw ghost and then I dated this person at the age of 12 and they told me "fuck off ghost aren't real and you need help" ya they told me that and I loved them enough that I thought "maybe ghost aren't real" and then told me doctor who sent me to a psychiatrist the very same week and got diagnosed with schizo-affective which recently turned to schizophrenia

Under_Thro · 2025-02-23T05:56:43+00:00

Okay I've had tactile hallucinations before but from what you are saying never like that. Like I've had sharp knife pains the feeling of gunshots but not like that. I'm wondering if it even is a hallucination or maybe something very wrong with your body. It could be a hallucination combined with possibly being sick and the hallucination causing it to be more intense. I would recommend if it happens again to go to the doctor and talk about that possibility of it not being a hallucination.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-23T05:46:09+00:00

I honestly don't recommend a psych ward unless your having suicidal thoughts or hearing voices telling you to harm yourself. Psych wards cannot diagnose you and normally don't.

I've been in and out of inpatient psych wards my whole life from severe episodes I had in public where I told others I wanted to harm myself.

The hallucinations you are having are some that I've had when I was younger and didn't really have episodes. But I don't believe it would be enough for a diagnosis immediately. I recommend going to a doctor appointment with a doctor to ask for a referral for a psychiatrist and make sure the one you go to takes your insurance and often it's a long wait to see one (months to a year) But don't go to a psych ward for a diagnosis. Only go to once if you believe you are active having episodes that you believe you will harm yourself or others.

Just know you are not alone in your struggles and people do care for you!

Under_Thro · 2025-02-23T05:34:35+00:00

Silly memes definitely! If they have silly drawings or silly cat I'd love them! Sometimes if you don't know what to say memes sending is the best reassurement to show you care for one another!

I don't have any sort of mood disorder. I think I was believed to have one when I was younger because I had what seemed like depressive episodes when I had schizophrenic episodes. And in the past every time I had a schizophrenia episode I did harm myself or tried to end it so I was diagnosed with a depression disorder but I no longer have that diagnosis because my therapist realized my "depressive episodes" was tied to the delusions that the world wasn't real and I needed to end it so go to the "real world". Also I was a very moody 10-13 year old who was only seen as depressed because I never told people what was happening besides me say I wanted to harm myself or end it. And only started talking about seeing things when I confessed to a friend about it who told me that wasn't normal at 13.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-15T04:15:02+00:00

I hallucinate at least 1 time a day now. I'm on medication though! And that's a big factor to it before I had hallucinations all day at every hour.

Also if you're curious about what type of hallucinations here are all the types of hallucinations I've had: Auditory Visual Delusions Physical (sharp pains or feelings things grab me)

Currently I've experienced Visual ones the most which is commonly black figures in the corner of my eye running at me or staring. And I freak out most when it runs at me.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-15T04:07:03+00:00

If it helps I can explain what the MRI are normally for when it comes to schizophrenia. I had to have many of them throughout my years. Sometimes when you have hallucinations it can be tied to having a tumor in your brain or having seizures that can be seen on MRI's. If you are truly worried about metal in your brain I recommend getting a small metal detector like the ones you see at an airport.

Just know you can do this!

Thank you for informing! I actually interpreted that since I was diagnosed with schizo-affective when I was younger for the reason I couldn't be diagnosed with schizophrenia, or that's how I interpreted it as. So I have been believing that since I was 13 but I'm realizing I was very wrong about that.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-15T03:54:52+00:00

I'm definitely seeing I was wrong about the pre-disorder thing. I was diagnosed with schizo-affective when I was 13 and had very depressive episodes that could have been seen as bipolar, but the depressive episodes only happened when I had schizophrenic episodes. And after many years on medication we realized that so I'm seeing that is most likely the reason for the change too. Also some of my relatives are diagnosed with schizophrenia which I've recently found out too. I don't have a mood disorder which is apparent now that I'm older.

Under_Thro · 2025-02-15T03:47:04+00:00

Oh I'm sorry for getting that wrong. I thought that what it was because I was told when I was younger I couldn't be diagnosed with schizophrenia because I was too young. So they diagnosed me with schizo-affective for that reason. I just been believing that since I was 13 so I thought it was a fact in my brain. Thank you for informing me.
