Skiles Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That you didn't agree that you had? I have. Very recently, in fact. Although the fucked up part of it is that, if the doctor is right, the illness I'm diagnosed with will actively convince me that I don't have it, so no matter how right I feel like I am, I could be wrong. But it's my own brain, and I think I know my brain better than someone who doesn't live with it. What a mind fuck, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXobiologist Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 That you didn't agree that you had? I have. Very recently, in fact. Although the fucked up part of it is that, if the doctor is right, the illness I'm diagnosed with will actively convince me that I don't have it, so no matter how right I feel like I am, I could be wrong. But it's my own brain, and I think I know my brain better than someone who doesn't live with it. What a mind fuck, right? no, thats pretty common actually. my father is for sure bipolar and displays sociopathic behaviors and thoughts, or so according to the psychiatrist he saw before his and my mothers divorce. he only decided to go because of my mothers ultimatum that he get help, or he get out. he decided not to continue because he also did not believe it to be true. he thought the devil had possessed my mother and the psychiatrist to conspire against him for the sake of money and hurting him. a great friend of mine also schizophrenic and it took him til he was in his early 30's to stay on his medication and believe what the doctors had been telling him nearly his whole life. all that will be wiped away if he ever stops taking his meds again. its been 8 years now and he is doing great the thing is, when its like that and your mental illness causes you to not believe what the doctors are telling you, that goes into other areas of your health as well. because its your body and you think you know better. i've been watching my father slowly die for about 7 years now. i am 100% positive it is diabetes and now probably a few other conditions. he refuses to seek medical help because he thinks its just old age, dehydration, and that there aren't enough healthy shit food options/or that people are trying to kill him with greasy food. he is a skeleton with skin, half of his teeth are gone so he wears dentures, he wears hoodies/long sleeves and gloves year round because he has no fat to keep him warm, his hands and feet are either hurting him or numb, and i've noticed ulcers around his ankles/calves when i've seen him pull up his socks. because of the mental illnesses, he will not see reason from loved ones or professionals. but we are in a bind because he also has not posed any threat to others, still works every day, and pays all his bills. we've talked to lawyers and psychiatrists about options but there really is none. even if he has this mental illness, he is not mentally incompetent and so retains full rights to his own health and body. so we watch him slowly die and struggle a little more every day, all while also having to cope with the nastier side of his mental state. so listen to your doctor and get whatever help you need.

Phillies Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Lol. Those are the same things. And this why there is such a stigma about mental illness in this country, cause no one knows jack shit about it, ironically we have the highest rate of bipolar in the whole world here,right in the usa.

DragonSinger Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 At bootcamp that I washed out of, there was this bastard quack who kept telling me that the reason for my horrible stomach pain was dehydration or depression. He kept harping on the latter because I felt stressed out due to being in so much agony that it was hard for me to eat. He and other idiot doctors are part of why I separated so I could get real care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derackthehunter Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Nope but based on information available I'd probably have to say I could be a sociopath or psychopath or both. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiles Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 What did they say you have? Insanity in the membranity. I was, and this is true...

Don't ask me how I have some to such conclusions I haven't touched a drink or any drug in over two years, though! D: Honestly though, I think the diagnosis makes sense for me. But having done research on it, I understand why they hesitate to make a concrete decision on it. As you said, the description is very vague.

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 In 2003 my primary care doctor diagnosed me with depression, which I fully agreed with. In 2008, a psychiatrist changed that to bipolar disorder, which I did not agree with at all. But I've since come to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
