Hey, hey, hey... like being stoned....

Jul 08, 2008 05:10PM - 1 comments

I'm feeling really conflicted. It's about traveling 30 minutes out and 30 back to vibe. I like vibing, I think. Sometimes it's a profound experience and other times it's just okay and I don't really feel much different except that I get tired and feel the effects of detoxing. I think I want more from it. I want so badly to be able to do and see and hear all the things that I used to. I thought I'd be too jealous to watch that Psychic Kids show on AandE, but I'm really enjoying it. And it's helping to remind me of how hard it was to function not being able to shut out the voices and the people all around me.   I feel like I'm cheating myself out of the ultimate suprise by knowing ascension is near, but I don't know that I'd have cared enough to stick around and alive had I not discovered it. I feel so abandoned by everything when I'm not in contact with my inner being. It hurts, but not, I just know I don't like it and I think it should hurt, but really I feel nothing. I feel distant, even from Sean, and like I want to break out of the roles I'm playing but I don't feel comfortable doing that when I consider that Sean may not like me....anymore...no, just then....I feel stuck in the worst way. And even though vibing helps me to balance out my emotions I think maybe I need to be crazy and emotional to be me. I cried so hard the other day. If felt so good. But now I'm feeling shut off and like I can't say what is on my mind. You know vibig doesn't make me less wary of being myself around other people. I don't even want to be around people lately. Like I need more excersize in holding mine toungue anyway, right? Well, I think DBT will be good cuz I'll at least get out of the house and be around people. I'm already getting anious about it with it still a week off now. Silly. I miss my friend, Tracee. I don't know what I bring to the relationship either and that bothers me. Life was so much less complicated when I was hopelessly depressed and suicidal. Grrr.....I keep thinking about my chart and that a doctor who evaluated me thinks I'm lying about stuff or below average intellect cuz I presented a bunch of extremely rare symptoms. He said in the report that it looked like I was telling them all these things to either get attention or becuz I researched personality disorders and was trying to make it look like i had them. That was the only time I was ever honest with those people and they didn't even buy it. Of course i didn't know that until I got my record for disability after becoming physically disabled and not getting any help cuz they all thought I was lying about it. It made me wonder about what personality dosorder I might really have that that moron passed off as BPD, cuz it's such a catch all. I did numerous tests online and then looked up criteria, only to find out that I'm schizotypal, HANDS DOWN!!! The criteria are set up like they were written for me and the observations of typical schizos was just like they were pulling stuff outta my mind and my life. Yippe, but how do I go about telling my therapist that? so frustrated right now!!

Its hard to self diagnose but its important for psychiatrists to understand what you have. Since you seem to be very good at writing why don't you write what's going on that concerns you in summary form and then see where the issues are and present that to a psychiatrist. When I was recovering and they didn't understand why and didn't know what was going on and I was all over the place because I was manic at the time I wrote it down for them as to what was going on that was wrong, what was working and what I wanted done. Then we used it as criteria for discussion and things worked out better that way. Internet research is good as well but its hard to classify exact symptoms. Personality disorders are hard to define but what you are describing sounds more like bpd as it affects relationships and people often have a problem with co-dependence on others. With schizotypal a person is even more out of touch with reality but obviously I am just a consumer and cannot diagnose but honestly nor could a psychiatrist online but both respond to medication. Lamictal has been effective for bpd. Abilify as well but antipsychotics do have long term side effects such as tardive and diabetes which Lamcital does not. Let them know what's going on and what your needs are and they'll be better able to help you that way.
