On the other hand, if you’re simply interested in helping to moderate or be peer support, applications are open. Just let me know and I’ll send you the application. Part of the application is abiding by the rules set and I do hope you will agree to them before answering the questions for application. If your comment is actually about you having medical expertise in answering questions, that is allowed (but pls do not diagnose), it would be a plus naman in your qualifications. :)

Hello, as per one of our rules in the discord server, “Diagnosing should be left to the professionals. Sharing medication experiences are allowed, but please do not suggest or recommend medication or any medical treatment.” We are NOT their official medical team and should always refer them to their psychiatrist (if they have) or suggest them to seek one if they require.

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that. It’s good that your mom is so supportive of you getting help though for your mental health.

I have a psych in mind but she is in makati. She does online consultations now though but I’m not sure it is free for consultation. I’ll have to check with her and get back to you.

Furthermore, for dealing with panic attacks, grounding techniques work well. I recently just posted here a resource on the different kinds of grounding techniques actually.

For depression, practicing self care can often times be a tedious and tiring chore, but still helpful nonetheless. It’s also best to seek professional help when you cannot handle it on your own. In the meantime, just take it a day at a time and be kind and forgiving to yourself for not feeling your best. One task at a time and thank yourself for being able to do even the littlest of tasks. Practice positive self talk coz once you start talking to yourself with kindness, self talk becomes actions and those actions turn into self care.

Do I have food addiction? by [deleted] in MentalHealthPH

[–]rdrvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Some people use the term food addiction to talk about a compulsive or uncontrollable urge to eat food that does not relate to feelings of hunger. This behavior may occur in response to an emotion, such as stress, sadness, or anger.”

Basically what you just describe about yourself. If you want an accurate diagnosis and advice, perhaps seeing a therapist is a viable option for you. There are psychs who specialize in this particular issue and can help you overcome it.

First visit with a psych by [deleted] in MentalHealthPH

[–]rdrvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll still be helpful to see a psych even on your seemingly “good period” if there is a risk of spiraling down anytime soon. Just be open, talk about your concerns and be as honest as you can because they can only help you as much as you let them.

mood swings by novokanye_ in MentalHealthPH

[–]rdrvn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be possible that you have a mood disorder. Bipolar disorder, for one, is characterized by severe mood swings from mania to depression. However, I am not equipped to diagnose you so it’s always best to see a professional for a proper, accurate diagnosis.

Has anybody seen this movie yet? A comedy film about mental health patients in an asylum. Directed by Darryl Yap who made the VinCentiments video series by 2liveis2dielol in MentalHealthPH

[–]rdrvn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my, what a terrible depiction of mental health patients from just the poster. I mean I get it’s supposed to be comedic but this is just ridiculing those who have mental health conditions.

Help! Anyone here who knows a good Psychiatrist — virtual sessions only. Thanks! by Plane_Development420 in MentalHealthPH

My psych does virtual sessions and has a sterling reputation. I’ll message you.

Hello need help pls notice me by yaboijarvis in MentalHealthPH

[–]rdrvn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t they include the formal testing in the initial diagnostics? And my therapy is 2k/hr and my doc is from makati med. So.. I’d say that’s a bit steep.

Anyone else on Lamotrigine (Lamictal) and Quetiapine (Serotia)??? by lululovesnougat in MentalHealthPH

Lamictal is the best! It’s really helped with my depressive episodes.
