When you get a doctor that tells you off for being sectioned...as if it was my fault.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
Not being able to explain to people why you are crying or angry.
Having to TRY tell a doctor how you're feeling...even though you dont know if you're even feeling at all
So incredibly true for me as well. Just because I can't spill everything and explain everything doesn't mean I'm unco-operative, it means I need your help.
"Everything is possible through Christ, who gives me strength". Phillipians 4:13
^True.
Also hard (well I find it hard) to explain because half the time not even I know how I'm feeling....so how can I explain something I dont know...
Its like asking my little sister to explain nuclear science
Not getting any help from doctors other than meds.... being sent to a useless crappy counselor for a few weeks... My dad thinking I am insane for crying all the time... my boyfriend being worried sick constantly... not being able to work or earn any money... etc etc..
depression sucks because I end up hating myself so much for the people I lash out at, the feelings of failure at everything I do, the wanting to hurt myself so bad, wanting to die.
In recovery since April 2010.
You give me strength, Jacob.
I hate my need to achieve perfection in absolutely everything. I know it is impossible to be perfect, so all I ever do is set myself up to fail.
I hate the stigma surrounding mental illness and the feeling that you ought to be ashamed of it all even though it's not your fault you're ill in the first place.
Ugh! Perfectionism is terrible. I know how you feel...I constantly feel like a failure and that I can't do anything right b/c of my abnormally high standards. I've tried to explain it to professors, but they just don't get it...It does wonders on my self-esteem in all areas of my life, really...Not just school.
And stigma...Yes......I kind of alluded to that in my post. Yuck. I'm the nut-job of the family...But everyone blames me, yet fails to look at themselves...Nothing in psychology is *purely* environmental or biological...It's a combination. I hate to say it, but they somehow contributed, even if it was unintentional. Know what I mean?
Having to fight with voices and seeing things every day.
The paranoia that kills.
Having to listen to music all the time to block out the voices.
Not being able to even read a book because of the voices etc.
Not having energy.
Not being able to go out in public without feeling extreme paranoia.
Being treated like an animal by the police.
Being forcibly sedated many times over when I'm convinced they're poisoning me.
Being sectioned.

Depression - Having people tiptoe around me
People refusing to let me have a simple box of paracetamol if in need
People constantly "are you ok" "how do you feel"
Too little or too much sleep
Loosing all social confidence
Arguing with people when they say your ill and you cant accept it
Seeing a rude/horrible psychiatrist.
When your dr. cares but has no other options so feels helpless
Having no hope yourself.
Giving up on life
Loosing people close to you
Man this really does suck

Oh, taking antipsychotics has to be one of sucky things about my mental illness. Result: side-effects.

i think the worst thing about mental illness is the stigma which still seems to be attached to it. The fact that people still feel the need to hide their problems and are ashamed to seek help incase they are locked away or automatically judged even though most people do suffer from some sort of mental illness or have in their past.
Hopefully websites like this though can help remove that stigma and not make it 'ok' to self harm,have eating disorders etc but to highlight just how many people do suffer from mental health issues and need help
ahaa this is my post and I've left like 5 comments lol.
Side effects, yes iicck. Occupational Health service phoning you to tell you it's likely you're "too ill" to work (Y)
Let the Force be with you
I'm not short, I'm space efficient
When mental health "professionals" expect you to be able to explain yourself perfectly clearly and then ask you the same things over and over, even if you've answerd.
