can you treat me in the near future I think I have disasocciative amnesia

Well, I’m sorry but I’m not a trained professional and won’t be anytime soon. I’m only just starting undergraduate college this fall. I doubt you want to wait eight years for me to finish college so I suggest you try to get help elsewhere.

I don’t know if you lack the money or medical insurance or whathaveyou to get help so, I’d just like to say that if you go to school in the US you should at least be able to confidentially see school counselors free of charge. At the very least they could point you in the right direction or at least give you ways to cope because I don’t know if every school has at least one psychiatrist there or not.

But, again, I’m sorry that I can’t be of more substantial help here. At this point in my life, I don’t think I’ll even go on to be a psychiatrist. Maybe a therapist but I’m not even sure of that.

Whatever happens, I hope you’re able to get the help you need and I hope that in the meantime you’re finding your own ways to deal with your illness.

I’ve never posted about it on this blog but the fact of the matter is that I suffer from depression - I have most of my life. I’ve been taking prescribed medication for it the last two years and I have to say that it does wonders. for me. Before I started seeing mental health professionals and was prescribed something by my psychiatrist I honestly thought about suicide day in and day out to the point where I thought it was totally rational and normal. Nowadays I really never think about it.

I’m not saying that medication is the only solution, therapy is another option or they could be used in accordance with each other. Not everyone’s illness has the same solution because everyone is different. Really, what I want to say is that I think it’s perfectly fine for people who suffer from mental illness to embrace any medication that works for them and I think it’s horrible that there is such a stigma against medicine. Some medicines are better than others but not every single one turns someone into an emotionless zombie or takes all negative emotion away.

And that’s where the above picture comes in. I have some friends who have mental illnesses and they all mainly seem to agree that they’re happy to take medicine if it makes them less “bonkers.” But they’re still reluctant to take their medication in front of others or talk about it. Why do people still have to be so scared to just simply take pills in front of others? Mental illness is like any other aliment and requires treatment just the same. Therefore, I took the above picture to show that I’m proud to take my medicine. I love the fact there are such drugs that reel in my mind and make me able to live a fuller life than I did without them.

I’m going to tag this as #I heart my meds and I would be extremely glad if other people took similar pictures, of their pills laid out in a heart or even several hearts, and added to the tag. I just want more people to see that there doesn’t have to be a stigma. And I want more people to feel safe taking medication if they need it. Fear shouldn’t stop you from making your life better.

TLDR: Medication for mental disorders is just as valid as medication for physical disorders.

Mental Illness Project

Hey Everyone!

This a long post but please read to the end!

I know I know some of you personally, and others I do not. My name is Lorin, and I am a BFA Performance and Production Theatre major at Texas State University, I am also in the Honors College, I am trying to graduate with a minor in honors. To do this I have to do a Thesis, Luckily I can do a creative thesis. This being said let me get to the point of this post:

Mental illness has played a large part in my life, in middle school I was diagnosed with severe depression, and though it is much, much better now I still have bumps in the road from time to time, we all do. It runs in my family, and also I have a brother that is Bipolar. My goal in life is to inspire people to not let their past control and hinder their futures, but to allow it to teach you to go forward in life and let it fuel you to continue to do better and achieve what you really want out of life. But this project isn’t about me, it is about you! I want to shed light on mental illness and to not look at it as a negative, but to shine light on it, that people with a mental illness are not that illness, but people with an illness.

With that being said, here is why I am posting this, I need you! If you have a mental illness, or know someone with a mental illness I would appreciate hearing your story and/or your relationship with that person, to help me better understand and give each illness the respect it deserves. Do not feel pressured to give names, it can be anonymous, and I will respect your rights to confidentiality.

So, now you may be asking what I am going to do with these stories? My plan is to write 4 or 5 (possibly more depending) monologues and have a corresponding makeup to represent each illness. Eventually these words and makeups will be brought to life and performed by the end of 2015. I will be sure to give credit in my writings, with your permission.

Please Message me through here or e-mail me at [email protected]

Please reblog and be sure to share with family and friends. I would love to have a wide variety of experiences and perspectives.

Stay Strong, Positive, Breathe, and know it will get better even if it has to get worse first!

Much Love and Gratitude,

Lorin Craft

Ps. Feel free to continue to share your stories with me after my thesis is completed, who knows maybe it will turn into something more!

I always reblog the dawn room, it has literally saved my life twice now. Even when I’m in an okay mood I get really emotional when I go here. It’s so important.

So I was recently diagnosed with adjustment disorder, but what is it? I always thought I had depression. I remember having suicidal thoughts 3 years ago and I started cutting 1 year ago... even social anxiety would make sense. I've never heard of AD before... Is is it possible for it to last for years? Or is there more things wrong with me? Also what about medication? I think it would help but my mom won't let me. I don't think she understands how many times I've almost ended it all...

Hi, I actually wrote a short article on Adjustment Disorder which you can read right here (I do recommend you read it since it has a lot of condensed information).

That article gives you most of what you are looking for the only thing it lacks is information about treatment options. So I will tell you right here that it seems the main treatment for Adjustment Disorder is therapy however, medication is used to treat the depression or anxiety that may come with the disorder.

I hope this helped and if you or anyone else who’s reading this has anymore questions feel free to ask.

I apologize if this is tilted or too bright, my scanner is iffy.

This is only a TASTE of what I got out of anxiety group, but I feel like I should post this first. I feel this will help most, just to start; to put a label to that thought and try to restructure that thought into something less accusing to yourself.

Other posts I hope to make in the future involve: Coping Statements, Anxiety Monitoring, Challenging Safety Behaviours, Worry vs. Problem Solving, Assertiveness + Boundaries, Breathing Exercises + Mindfulness

I hope this will be able to help people like it’s been helping me. Just remember that it takes dedication and lots of practice. There is a point where it does say to invoke anxiety little bits at a time and to let it happen instead of resisting and….I admit, I’m far from invoking it as much as I would like to.

Also keep in mind that this won’t for sure help EVERYONE, and it might be best to at least see a counselor or psychiatrist that will be able to cater to your individual needs.

My therapist: Look at nature. Look at flowers. We never walk into our garden and say "Oh wouldn't that flower be so much more pretty if it were taller? Or red instead of pink?" No, we don't. Because nature was created perfect just as it is. And so are we. We are part of nature, we are how we're meant to be, we are perfect just as we are.
