Really wierd go someplace like that an talk someone about such wierd stuff. But therapist knew exactly What was. Say very hard do at first but got tell urself u check something like door lock or whatever an force urself to go on an not check again . Most this happens at home or not while clock into work but after. Not like be like this as could even be a target or victim of crime when someone see u like that somewhere byself. I try do what told do today with done improvement as not che k a door lock or stare at something more 5 seconds to make sure it right . I don't do this whole drive an concentrate driving, just wonder anyone know anyone like that, it totally sucks be like that , try quit do it with anything after appt today. Found myself forget things after shop with put stuff away home


Coonman,
This is a topic near and dear to my heart. I suffer from profound mental health issues and have had years of therapy, medication, inpatient counseling, and loads of support. I think as in any medicine it is different for all. I know three steadfast rules for improving one's mental health 1) There is no magic pill 2) If you are doing it right it will hurt 3) You get out of it what you put into it. Faith of some kind is a key element to building one's esteem and realizing that you are a value-added member of the human race. If you ever need a buddy check reach out via PM. I need the advice on coons as it is anyways. You aren't alone, we are many.

It could be getting worse because of age, this is something to tell the doctor, it may help to write these things down and take the list with you to the appointment so you can get some answers, it may also help the doctors understand.

Was psychiatrist appt. Got meds but unknowen if work for sure. Probly was told but can take awhile . Psychiatrist knew what was right away . Totally sucks . Hopefully none side effects listed as rare from them. One of them I already take but this a little bigger dose an combo with other anti depressant pill . I guess no wonder drugs .

Thanks !! I don't like side effects listed they have tell u. One is that may make u feel worse at first. I shouldn't say that . This does something to ur brain to block or make more of chemical. I have read up it . Obsessive checking or whatever call is result of paranoid anxiety crap. Docter ask me if like ritual or number times or how many times check something an knew exactly was. Sound very wierd an strange but if do it is torture on mind an feel terrible horrid beyond what imagine . Nothing is enjoyable much. U can't do it or have stop an not want talk about it nomore or think it

Meds are tough sometimes. NEVER MISS TAKING THEM. It's like your traps check them every morning first thing. They are so important.

Dave, for what it's worth, I'm proud of you. By recognizing something wasn't right and not liking the way you are feeling is one thing. But, you were man enough to begin taking steps to correct those things.

Good for you, and I only wish the best for you!

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 disease when I was in my 20s . I am now 65. I fight with depression low self worth and suicide every day. The only thing that keeps me going is God. My wife My dog My meds If I lost them. I am pretty sure I would not be on this earth very long.

The only advice I can give is stay close to God and the people that love you and do not go off of your meds

U are right. Bfore this I would be like lots others an not understand . Think mental stuff mostly a fluke when I younger. It is not . Brain problems are very serious . Something about meds make more of brain chemical an shut off another one. There others much worse . Everyone is different . Docter say no 2 brains are alike . It is Almost like torture I had not so many obligations an lots money save or more with good ins. I check into hospital . Not sure if they take u or what. Mostly don't want u there . I say it serious enough . Unfortunately it is bad for someone byself . Not sure if hospitalization would end it quicker. Never ask . Psychiatrist is a grey area to lots

I don't know how anyone could stand be like that is why finally went . It was for decades but has got much worse an just last summer had got progressively worse much faster. Wake up with heart racing with anxiety attacks . Very wierd as I can't figure it out myself . Sometimes I snap out it an feel good then mood changes later. Kinda scared of what mind could have u do. I am not a violent or agitated person. That what ask u . An they tell u everything confidential unless u are violent to urself or others. I don't like racing thoughts the mind brings though

Dave,
My oldest son, 33 years old has suffered from pretty severe anxiety over the past 2-3 years. He goes to a therapist or talks to them over the phone once/week. He has been prescribed many different anti-anxiety drugs of different strengths to find the right mix for his brain.
It is very clear to me that they have finally found the right mix and dosage for him.
I have my son back!
Be patient. Don't be in a hurry. You are right. No two brains are the same. They have to try this and that over time to see what helps.
