just left psych hospital stay, but...???

I was put down as schizoaffective. I have a sneaking suspicion he didnt think I have schizoaffective but rather just Paranoid SZ. Im 21, female. dont know why i said that cause im not new here.

anyway.
he didnt put me on ANY mood stabilizers. in fact im on 6 or so meds and none are even close to mood stabalization. i told him i was working with a therapist for 5 months about a schizoaffective Dx that was made a year ago. i told him this because i was pissed about a bipolar Dx he gave me the first day i was in. (yes, i oppose bipolar because i know for a fact its not me). he said it was just an initial intake Dx and he doesnt believe im bipolar at all actually.
i get it. i believe him. i think i steered him toward the my final Dx though.

...because let me rephrase this. im on 5 or 6 meds and not ONE is close to any mood stabilizing. ugh but im still on meds. i just got out yesterday and i want off already.

depressive subtype btw, if anyone was wondering.

so i dont understand. schizoaffective and no antidepressant or any mood meds. wtf???

hi anxiety attacks, hang in there and try and reduce your meds and replace them with tech. like recycling your mood excess by going online and helping market research etc to help reduce and recycle your therapy budget. i don't have any experience of the usa system but you sound a brave girl and i hope you become more a role model than an extra in changing versions of what are beautiful minds, ugly minds or minds all together.as a whole it gets better all the time in infinite terms. it's a high pressure obstacle course for you, judging by how judgemental your usa culture can sometimes be puritanical. i think if the usa means well it will get will and ditto to all minds anywhere.

...im sorry....
i just cant understand you...
i am really sorry rog, man

Sounds like you got spammed by some interweb infomercial by that other poster.


It appears you are on 6 meds, as you stated. There needs to be a sit-down with your doctor, a clearinghouse of meds, a purging, before some are added and some are removed. You were just at the hospital. Someone dropped the ball. Go back.

I too am looking for a mood stabilizer. I need something to control the mood swings and racing thoughts and anxiety all the while not interfere with my energy (I workout a lot). I have a ton of daily/natural energy. It is both a blessing and a curse. But I also want to chill the f' out and not have my blood pressure flip the f' out when something goes wrong. Everything is an emotional crisis. Weed, helps, sometimes. Being a recluse, helps, often. Shutting myself off from people is best. Everyone hates me anyway.

Let me know if you research something worth taking. I am seeing a doctor soon.

hi anxiety attacks and f mae, i’m no infomercial or spam, i’m a human poster that likes to use all media as a way of making ‘personal gain’ and ‘everything gains’ compromises easier for all. Like trying to make sz and tech blurred boundary focus become more like not talking in the cinema both inside and outside your head.

Antagonising only creates more awkwardness. It’s like not judging a book or a person by the cover so you don’t cheat on all the kids. Sz can become like trying to hit all pitches for home runs instead of accepting the likely majority of foul balls and strikes etc.

I draw the line when it comes to torture and would press charges on anything that was torture. There needs to be compensation for any prop/lean mismatches so it discourages the initial causes of torture. It’s like learning your budget then learning what percentage of your budget is your threshold for any sensitive triggers.

I think rog has some ver intelligent and caring things to offer even if he has trouble wit the communications aspecct. If you read between the lines you will see his stance about becoming drug free and dealing wit schizs through alternative methods. Don't forget that what he struggles wit today, but looks to improve, is something that may be dictated in our future so spare a thought for that lonliness that schizs can bring.


Welcome back AA I hope yer stay wasn't toooo bad. Are the meds working or are we planning to flush them down the toilet??

I remember when I got out of my stay. I felt great.... not just cause I escaped that hell-hole but because the food was good. People say hospital food isn't that great but the part about it that was good was it was a balanced diet.... something that I wasn't gettin before and something I have paid more attention to since. Oranges and a basic salad went from non-existant to near the top of my list of fav foods ever since.

My cat is all about driving the bats crazy out of the room, so much so that all that's left is bat-sheet craziness and tearful memories. I still don't know how that is helpful to the OP in this instance.

You mad bro?

they served us fresh full cakes (red velvet, chocolate, choco-german, cream, etc), deli sandwiches, spaghetti, breads of all kinds, peas, mashed potatoes,etc. everything was fresh from the main hospital.

being on all those antipsychotics at the time, you had to get the F out of there. gain so much weight...

these meds are going to kill me. seriously.
cant even do this...
these POIZZONS. thats right..i said poizzons.

ugh.
they put me on adhd med too. hahaha.

so lets see. 1 antipsychotic. 1 antianxiety. 1 for purely sleeping. 1 adhd. 1 to counteract tardive dyskenesia type stuff.

Thanks for all your support and ditto thanks for supporting escape from Alcatraz attempts out of meds hell. if needed meds should be a lesser of two bonus’s not a lesser of two problems. The placebo factor should gradually be increased and the therapeutic factor should gradually be reduced and replaced with tech solutions, to reduce viscious circle side effects.
I see it like musical football mood music pitch control for crowd control. Some like to dribble some like or tackle, some like to pass and shoot, some like to decoy, some like to score. I find if you can tune mood frequency goal post bandwidth frequencies with more connectivity then all mojo’s have an increased chance of score draws, instead of chasing bets with one fading mojo. Like draw or dud instead of win, lose or draw. Like using common cultural references to gauge 1/10 factors (U link) your window opinions and 1/10 factors for all windows S link opinions. It could then make any’ fixer or needs fixing’ opinions become straight forward fits into a universal stats scoring language of draw or dud. E.g golf scores as window u links sliding 5/5 draw references and windows s links as sliding 5/5 fishermans tales dud references. You could then draw or dud any patronising issues using a links obstacle course sudoko tuning pitch crowd control technique. It could make musical football mood music media frequencies a lot easier to traffic flow. all it then needs is honest signal calling of what u link or s link number is being shouted so any frequency tuning can be draw or dud, placebo compromised into relayed recycled collateral currency so tin cup could meet top cat or vice versa etc.
the golf ryder cup is coming this year, it has a pairings element to it’s set up. there’s always a choice of matching a 1 with a 10 or a 5 with a 5 in terms of ability. It reminds me of my life, i was born near moortown golf course that years ago once held the ryder cup. It’s a posh course, the 9/11 new york mayor has been there i think it’s rudy juliano , i can’t remember his name exactly off the top of my head. I also spent most of my life in rougher council estates near the course . one of my parents had one of the ying extremes and the other the yang extreme in terms of posh and rough. I’m more 5/5 than 1/10 or 10/1. It taught me that compatibility is huge when trying to encourage traffic relaying.
The main point is whether it’s doc’s or patients or any social commentary pundits online or off it’s easier to kick in with effort than kick off with anger. Antagonising breeds awkwardness. It scares me how much some of the publics pr issues still revolve around spin instead of communal numbers like golf scores or poker scores etc. i remember once going on a night out in Bermuda cut off jeans and then as i was watching a clip last night of an old party i saw lasers that reminded me of graphics i saw on a programme about the Bermuda triangle. It scares me that anything threatening to crowd control policing is getting locked in a car like a dog on a hot day with the windows not open. You can barely drink anywhere now in the uk, you can’t do half the things you used to, smoking is being phased out, striking against anything is becoming civil war, and all in the name of Bermuda triangle spin that revolves around health care based on dissolving collateral statistics. It’s not facts and fiction win lose or draw it’s fixion draw or dud.
