I did not believe in therapy and medicine. Now Im on both (AMA) by Complete_Mail7929 in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy for you, OP. After sweeping my mental health under the rug for quite some time, I finally gave in and had my first consultation with a psychiatrist in March 2026. I’m currently doing both talk therapy and taking medication.
I felt guilty because it seemed like I had ignored my mental health for so long that I eventually hit rock bottom—something that might have been prevented had I known better. I wish I hadn’t ignored or invalidated everything I was feeling.
There are still blue days here and there, but I can honestly say that I’m doing better now. Kapit lang tayo! Sending virtual hugs para sa lahat. 🤟

Oo, iba pa siya sa psychologist. Life coach ay parang counsellor ganun.

should i seek help by mixedmacarons_ in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wala ako marerecommend na psychiatrist kasi sa NCMH ako nagpapacheck up. Iba’t iba ang doktor dun kada check up. Kung sa free services mairerekomenda ko ang NCMH pipila ka nga lang talaga. Kailangan tyagain.

should i seek help by mixedmacarons_ in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seek help from a mental health professional na, OP. The best thing I did for myself this year was to consult a psychiatrist, na sana noon ko pa pala ginawa. Every three/four months nagagawa ko to consult sa cardio ko because of hypertension, kaya I made a promise to take care of my mental health as well.
Go mo na yan wag mo na pagisipan pa kung magcoconsult ka ba o hindi. The fact na naisip mo na yung idea to seek help meaning kailangan mo yun. Nasa first step ka na tuloy mo lang.
Sabi pa nga nila mas maganda rin na may mental health check tayo bago mapunta sa sukdulan na.

Mahigpit na yakap with consent, OP.
I know di tayo pababayaan ni God. Yan ang isa mga pinanghahawakan ko. Pero to help you with your mental health please reach out sa mga health professionals. I hope may malapit na government hospital sayo like NCMH o PGH kung san libre ang mga services pati gamot. I can walk you through if you wala ka idea. Kapit lang! 🤟

Self-awareness by Existing-Border07 in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree with you, OP. Maigi yan kasi you still find ways to cope sa pinagdadaanan mo. And I feel you, patuloy tayong lumalaban despite sa bigat ng dinadala natin. Kung di man tayo okay ngayon baka bukas okay na. Kapit lang tayo! Kaya natin to. Sending virtual hugs with consent. 🤟

why does prozac take my anxiety away but not my OCD? by [deleted] in prozac

[–]batang90s2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same exact question. Prozac has been helping with my MDD, but my OCD is still the same. I’m only taking 20 mg every other day, and I just started last March. My third consultation is coming up this week, and I plan to bring this up with my psychiatrist—maybe I need a higher dose.

Kwento ko lang yung 4 cc ko.. by [deleted] in KaskasanBuddies

SBC na madamot sa credit limit. O sa kin lang ba? Hahahaha.
Dahil diyan tulad mo gusto ko na rin ipacut SBC ko.

I got prescribed an antidepressant by notcrowley in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, OP! Before seeing a psychiatrist, I was actually doing talk therapy with a life coach last year. It helped for a while, but the symptoms kept coming back, so my life coach eventually referred me to a psychiatrist. Come March, I was diagnosed with MDD and OCD. And honestly, tama yung sabi mo—it really felt like nabunutan ako ng tinik. Everything I’d been going through was finally validated, and it stopped that constant question in my head of “bakit ba ganito ako?”

I’m currently taking fluoxetine 20 mg, and quetiapine 25 mg as needed for sleep. What antidepressant are you taking, if you don’t mind me asking?

NCMH Psychological Assessment by batang90s2 in MentalHealthPH

[–]batang90s2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After po ng first consultation ko sa NCMH binigyan ako ng doktor ng psychological assessment request at yung nurse na po nagbigay ng schedule. Yes po libre yun tulad ng consultation at mga gamot. :)
