So...I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I'm a little drunk, and I'm armed. Here are the ground rules:

- No dreams, that requires an existing relationship and more background than we'll have here.
- If you're suicidal or homicidal, call 911.
- Try to form a question, it'll help
- I'm not telling you exactly where I work.

I had an emotionally abusive friend for a great amount of my life. When we had mutual friends, I've always felt they would choose them over me because they were always the more outgoing and sociable one. I feel like this has greatly stunted my ability to form friendships and relationships.

Do you have any advice on how to get myself out of this way of thought?

As with most habits, the only way to change it is going to be to actively resist it. You'll need to make friends, you'll need to ignore that nagging feeling that you're not worthy, and you'll need to deal with it feeling fake for awhile.

Is there a county hospital in your area? If you're employed you can try to go out of pocket with a psychiatrist or psych nurse. Money is your issue right now. Either you have the cash to get antipsychotics, or you're going to have to bare knuckle it and hope you don't end up inpatient.

Don't go off your meds. Nobody comes completely back from a psychotic episode. If you've ever spent time around old schizophrenics, you'll see that its a degenerative condition.

For the longest time I was like "I don't need meds, see I'm fine. The diagnosis was a crock of shit." Then I tried to quit smoking and all hell has broken loose in my mind.

I have state-funded medical insurance. I live in Los Angeles, and everywhere is crowded as fuck. I have too much shame to be admitted. My family will be disappoint. My boyfriend will be in shock. I am battling this alone right now. And I don't think they will take me since I'm not "that bad" right now. I'm not suicidal. I'm not so manic that I can't function. But I just feel unstable. Like, I know myself, I know my "middle ground" and I'm not at that right now. I'm a childhood abuse victim and I started having inclusive recollections again when I attempted to quit. I start doing kinda anxious behaviors like rechecking things or getting frustrated when things aren't just so.

There's no way in hell I can pay for meds. I only work part time. Not enough for benefits, which is why I'm on state-funded insurance. I feel like I'm in limbo. Living a double life. I suck it all up until I get home from work, then I just feel broken until I fall asleep and wake up the next morning and slap the normal mask on.

Stop it. Get admitted if you have to. You don't want to go where this will take you long term. Even if your boyfriend is shocked and you family is disappointed (which they probably won't be), its worth it to cut this off. Go to an ER, mention the paranoia, beg for your meds if you have to, bring a confirmation of your appointment.

Even if you think you're good, even if you think you're functional, you cannot predict the future. If push comes to shove, have someone drive you way out of LA to a clinic that isn't as slammed.

Ever since middle school (22 now) I've considered myself to be something of a compulsive liar. I faced little to no consequences of these actions due to having an above average intelligence and years of practice. I have gotten significantly better over the years through a focus on my own self worth, but I still accidentally lie about things I do not even care about from time to time. My current strategy has been to focus on correcting a lie immediately after I say it to seem like I just made a mistake. I worry that this tendency could endanger some of the strong bonds I've forged with new friends recently.

Have you ever dealt with compulsive lying, and what strategies seemed to help the most?

Seems like you're doing what you should. I'm usually a proponent of breastfeeding, but in your situation you should probably be on meds sooner rather than later which means moving to formula. Is the father in the picture? Or anyone else?

You might get angry here, but I feel like honesty is important. If you were my patient I would have advised you not to have kids. I'm not trying to be judgmental or hurtful, but adolescents are my speciality and virtually all of them come from fucked up homes. Its going to be a difficult road, you're going to need to stay in treatment, and its a roll of the dice whether you have a kid who will be overly sensitive to external shit or highly resilient. You're going to need to beat your anxiety for you kids because you don't want to pass it on. You're going to need to have a backup plan if you need another hospitalization or having a manic or psychotic episode. You're going to have to focus at least some of your current treatment on your relationships and learn to be brutal in cutting out anyone who might be toxic for you. Finally, you should be on birth control. One is hard, two is exponentially worse.

I'll take on the stories others have shared with me as as tools to empathize with people who would have no way of verifying I hadn't had these experiences. Some stories may be manufactured experiences I could have had in a slightly different situation in my past but never actually went through personally. I'm committed to changing as recently I created a story to relate to a friend about a horrible experience he went through, and realized the gravity of what I had done and the breach of trust I committed.

The father is in the picture, but he doesn't live with us. He has been visiting a few times a week. We did recently have a rough patch, but it's getting a lot better. I'm currently living with my parents, who are incredibly supportive. So far, the baby is incredibly healthy and happy.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't have kids, but the doctors refuse to sterilize me. I've barked up that tree before, during, and after pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had already had one abortion in the past (I seem to have exceptionally bad luck with birth control) and it affected me very badly emotionally. I actually started having very unhealthy urges that I had to go to therapy for. So it wasn't an option this time.

This child happened after my IUD fell out, then pill+pullout failed. Allergic to latex, had reactions to the patch. Currently taking the depo shot. Don't know what I'll do if the shot fails, I think implanon is the only thing I have left to try.

Medicaid is going to depend on where you are or you'll end up waitlisted. Most insurances panel psychologists, but a lot of us don't take every insurance (I really only take BCBS these days). What company do you have?

Antidepressants are actually a couple categories of drugs and we're getting a little outside of my field of expertise. The biggest downside of the SSRIs is that there is the potential, though not certainty, for sexual side effects. That might be a loss of libido, it might be not being able to come, it might be trouble getting it up. Its not common, but it happens. In general, though, all the newer classes of antidepressants are pretty well tolerated. I tend to think of them as a short term solution during therapy, though. Especially with trauma in the mix.

I take it you're not terribly confident in your own ability to empathize with others? It sounds like the lies are trying to help develop bonds rather than angle for some kind of personal gain. Think longer before you speak, but don't stress too much over it.

If it really bothers you, find a good analyst.

>>16384343
Its good that you have a lot of support, that will help. I get that baad luck happens, I wasn't judging, just saying that its going to be difficult. If you're having trouble finding someone willing to sterilize, you might want to look into Planned Parenthood. Even if they can't do it for you they might be able to find you a referral, or a referral to the right person who can tell you about a friendly doctor.

I'm a young adult neet.

All my life growing up I'd always had the path paved for me. Just going through the motions. I've never gone anywhere on my own, without friends or family with me. Like, when I was 14 and my sister was 16 we would go places all over together. I just cannot imagine doing that kind of thing, taking the lead and going off into the world.

I still don't have a driver license, but the real issue is I'm so scared to do things on my own. As an adult I need to be able to do things on my own. But just the idea of walking myself to the shops alone is so frightening.

What is my problem? General anxiety? I also have phone phobia and other anxieties. I think I'm scared of being alone because it's been ingrained in my head by my overprotective parents that I shouldn't be left alone, and I still feel like my parents would freak out if I were going out on my own. I'm scared of causing them stress. As a neet I mostly just stay home, and they're ok with that. Obviously for the sake of my future that can't go on any longer.

How do I grow up?

Coventry Cares (I live in West Virginia).
I'm poor and my family's poor, so paying out of pocket isn't really a thing we can do.
My girlfriend's father took her off of her antidepressants for about a month before and it fucked her up sexually.

I'm really worried about how I perceive social conversation. Someone will talk to me and I'll make conversation, but it seems like everyone around me works in a different web of fast paced social interaction than I do (I live in a small area in WV and there's not many people to get to know). I'm not really passionate or charismatic, even though I used to be. As of recently I've turned into a boring blob of uninteresting nothingness and the loneliness is honestly feeling pretty harsh. This is the reason I think I might be depressed, and I'm hoping anti depressant might either help me get my mind back on the right track or like you said, be a temporary fix.

This is a huge part of it actually. Things never change here. All my siblings still live at home too. And my parents still act like we're all babies.

>Better start easing your way into that adolescent rebellion...
I always tried to be a good kid seeing how much they were stressed out by my other siblings, so I never went through such a rebellion, and bottled up all my frustrations instead. I never went out to any parties or anything. Yet my parents are always saying "I can't take it anymore" and "I'm too old for this" meanwhile they do everything they can to keep things the same.

For awhile, sure. Long term? Maybe. The odds aren't in your favor, though. There have been a lot of heroin addicts, but Borroughs was one-of-a-kind. Even then, I wouldn't want old Bill's life.

Your parents aren't going to change. That means it falls on you.

If you have insurance, see who takes it and see about fee waivers. A lot of us do sliding scale.

Self help books? I don't recommend them. Freud's "A General Introduction to Psychoanalsis" is a great book, as is Jung's "Man and His Symbols."

Honestly, though, most psych books aren't what you're looking for. If you want to improve yourself, the best thing you can do is focus on philosophy that fits well with your values. Mine isn't a business of right answers.

>Seriously, though, I've had a few teenage ED patients who dated morbidly obese men. Its not your body she's disgusted by, it's not even really her own once you get down to it. Eating disorders are more complicated than that.

Go figure. Is there anything specific these girls are looking for? Like do they want to be protected, affirmed as beautiful, given the opportunity to control rather than be controlled?

Like she's still a little mysterious to me. I'll try texting her periodically over the course of a couple days and get no response. Then if I say nothing to her for 24-48 hours she'll text asking if there's something wrong. She seems to like it when I tell her what I find attractive about her, but doesn't say much about me.

Setting up dates is weird too. She claims to work an abnormal amount. For awhile she was saying it was impossible to get a date with her unless you scheduled it weeks ahead of time. Then suddenly I had dates with her 5 weekends in a row. Full day dates.

Control is a big part of it for most people with EDs. Fear is another one. The nitty gritty of why they think they way hey do tends to be idiosyncratic, so I can't help with the exact whys, but the mysteries are a way of keeping her out of harm's way. She wants to hear about herself because her perceptions of how she looks are so off, but you're...not so important.

You're exactly right. Also my parents do have a lot of money saved up but I don't consider that an option. It's so hard to take control of my life man. I just want to go back to school, be productive, have friends, do what people my age do, then get a job and family. My parents are hoarders so I could never have friends over growing up, and I never went out either because I was afraid of disobeying. Without school I never went out and that's when I became a shutin and I've been screwed since. I just want to be independent but that's what I'm most afraid of WTF!

How hard is it normally to get ECT if you're not suicidal?

I have severe, treatment-resistant depression but am not considered a suicide risk and thus cannot get into any treatment-resistant depression programs. I've been on 14 drugs and gone through CBT and DBT.

My psychiatrist is... uh, not very helpful at this point.

But as a general point, letting her have her degree of control over things like where we're going is going to be important to her?

Like, kinda weird thing, I've obviously noticed her tendency to excuse herself to the toilet shortly after eating just about anything. We went and got coffee during one date and I went to go take a leak. I was like "Since we're about to go, I'm gonna use the bathroom. You gonna wait here or go?"

She seemed panicked when I asked that. She still hasn't told me about her ED but it's obvious from her behavior.

Hey

Currently typing this from a PS3 controller so responding will be slow but here goes:

I am 23 years old. I'm going to school working towards a combined major(math/chem) and am in my second year. I have recently been having difficulties and am seriously falling behind in my classes. This is due to the fact that I never learn anything from any of my classes despite trying different methods(more focus on note-taking, more focus on paying attention, etc...). I have a hard time paying attention in class as well.

I had a few mental breakdowns due to this so far, one of which involved the police and caused me to lose my job, and others which caused me extremely inexplicable grief. I have lost interest in almost everything since the last breakdown after failing my chemical thermodynamics midterm. I used to go to the gym, play drums and enjoyed studying but now no longer have any motivation to continue with any of it.

I have sought out help through counseling/mental assessment to determine if I have some kind of learning disability and both of the people I consulted have suspected ADHD/ADD.

I've read into the effects of things used to cure this like dextroamphetamines and so far it seems overall positive.

Are the drugs effective and if so do you have any recommendations for their use? Also, would mental disorders like ADHD/ADD really have this much of negative impact on me learning or is there just a high probability that I'm clinically retarded?

Thanks
