ConfusedParticipantI thought u had admin rights in this page.
I am numb, zero feelings, not even sadness.. i think it’s the meds because they say it numbs you. I really dont like it and i told the doctor about it but he said that i have to take it for a while and the symptoms will subside.
ConfusedParticipantI have never done that, not even by mistake. It must be someone else.
ConfusedParticipantI saw it and i dont know why it’s happening, i never got to see your posts.
ConfusedParticipantWhat do you mean?
ConfusedParticipantThis is what i’ve read too, now im trying to accept it since there is nothing else i can do but i really hope for it..
ConfusedParticipantI miss the love and the excitement, the ability to feel and bond deeply 🙁
ConfusedParticipantYeah but idk if they are running now.. I guess they are because i cant stop thinking about the situation?
Maybe, i have to try this and see where it leads, but i think maybe i need something else to wake my feelings up.He mentioned things that i experienced (also when i was a child) like he knew what i was talking about.
I am not very optimistic with my situation but we’ll see. Thank you very much 🙂
ConfusedParticipantYes he told me that those could be the early stages and it’s good that i noticed it now because it can become worse. He did ask me if i feel anxiety but i can’t feel even that.
He did say that this helps calm the thoughts and my mind that was running 24/7.
Yeah it was a promise, maybe he has seen it in the past because he is like 50+ years old and he seemed to be very confident about what he was telling me.
ConfusedParticipantHello anita
He did ask me if i hear voices or if i feel like people are talking about me which i told him no. I did have disorganized thinking the first week that happened, i couldn’t easily form sentences and i would forget words/things within seconds.I had some of the number 4 u said and all of number 5. Also, foggy thoughts and feeling mentally overloaded, sometimes lights would feel too bright indeed. Idk how we mean the world is “off” so idk about that.
I did have/still do C/D/E/F.It seemed weird to me too, but maybe he has experience? I have no idea at this point, but i read that this med he prescribed me with is making you chill/not anxious so your mind can ease off the delirium thoughts. It made me sleepy and heavy when i woke up, it was like my mouth was so heavy that i couldn’t talk easily, but i have no compulsive/delirium thoughts so idk if the meds are correct. I still am anhedonic and numb
ConfusedParticipantIdk if he meant bipolar but he noticed things that were true pretty quickly, he described a lot of things that i had/have without me telling him anything. He did say its a psychotic episode after a manic one.
ConfusedParticipantI don’t just recognize her positives, she has negatives as well, but she did show me love and her intentions were pure and i liked it very much, was one of the things that made me like her so much.
Well, i returned from the doctor and he diagnosed me within 20 minutes, i was shocked. I told him 3-4 things and he described my situation (and my past behaviors) spot on. He said i went through dissociation/DP/DR and right now i dont just ruminate, i am in the middle of a psychotic episode, not OCD/rOCD, its a delirium of sorts and if i leave it untreated it will only get worse, ending things with the girl won’t help because it’s not the cause, it will just attach on something else. He said it’s good that i spotted it early (because it’s in the beginning stages, but he thinks i’ve always been prone to that). I also told him i relate to many ADHD symptoms and he said that ADHD is in fact kinda in the bipolar spectrum. From what i described to him, he said that i was manic (euphoric) when things were good and then it came to a crash suddenly (the morning i woke up and felt “off”, like i didn’t know who i was talking to), which is now an emotional flatline phase and it i don’t treat it with meds it will only get worse. He also said that talk therapy alone will only make it worse because this has not much to do with attachment styles and traumas the way i was looking at it. He prescribed me 10mg of Lapozan Oro every night and he guaranteed that i will see difference immediately and i will find my feelings again (i’m starting tonight but im kinda anxious). He believes i’m composed and smart so i’m gonna get through this quite quickly. He also suggested that the other psychotherapist isn’t helping because she is focusing on the wrong things (which i was feeling too, since she was focusing on relationship and my issue is general) and she’s too young (she is 26) to be experienced in psychotic situations and maybe i don’t need her. He said i really need meds and perhaps some therapy once or twice a month.
Any of it sounds familiar, anita? 🙂
ConfusedParticipant@Thomas
But i am not sure if i want to stop thinking about her, she loved me the most out of any girl i’ve ever had, her heart is pure, all i want is to love her back because she deserves it.I doubt he can diagnose me in the first hourly session, sadly but i hope he will.
I don’t know, it would mean losing that part of me (and her) for good i guess?
ConfusedParticipantI think u are right, it might be rocd, i got all the symptoms but i dont wanna self-diagnose. Ive also read about zoloft helping people, i will phone a psychiatrist tomorrow, but it’s not bad at nights idk why (probably dopamine spikes a bit). So idk, it comes and goes but when it comes it definitely does.
Yes exactly, i am numb to the present and i cry for what was, maybe that robs me of joy.
ConfusedParticipantThank you 🙂
I still go to therapist but tomorrow i will try to book with psychiatrist and tell him about anhedonia.
We were still in contact two days ago, she admitted that the situation is stresful to her too and she needs space to focus on her studies for now, so we cut contact for now. I don’t miss her but i ruminate 24/7 about how things used to be because i miss it so much it hurts, it left a deep void in my chest and i cry a lot.
I am completely numb to everything else tho, i just exist, getting out of bed feels difficult, finding motive/eating/listening to music feels like nothing. Two childhood friends told me some bad news about their families and i felt nothing, no sympathy whatsoever.
ConfusedParticipantHello anita, i’m the same as before, just emptier and more tired.. I’ve distanced myself from too much searching (even tho i still use AI)
I hope u’re ok too 🙂
