I got tired of doctors treating me like junkie or criminal. So I just quit asking for help. Now I sit in silence waiting for the sweet kiss of death to set me free.
There are few doctors in my life that treat me as junkie due to my mental health disorder. It’s sad on how doctors don’t believe or listen to their patients about their concerns. The doctors needs to remember that not everyone will comfortable taking drugs. Drugs can be scary because it can impact your health good or bad. It took me many years to find the right psychiatrist doesn’t push me to take unnecessary drugs.
Sometimes my family and friends worry me about taking drugs for mental health. The sad part thing is I might need to take it for the rest of my life. I battled with mental health issues without drugs for more than 10 years in my life. Nothing worked it with me for the end. I don’t want anyone to have my mental health disorder. I never want Bipolar 1 in the first place. I do attend therapy in which helps me but drugs can only control my emotions much smoother.
My experience might be different for Bipolar 1 than others. Without drugs, I won’t sleep for 2-4 months that what happened last year for me. A lack of sleep can dangerous for me. I dropped multiple classes in college due to mania. During mania, I spend more than $5,000-10,000 every two months. My anger was out of control to the point that I lost so many friends & cousins due to emotional instability. I do hallucinate that almost lead to end my life last year. Bipolar 1 is a monster as I explain to many of my closed loved ones.
I never force people to take drugs if they don’t want to. That’s your choice. I’m happy for those that can fight mental health issues without drugs. Doctors should find other ways to treat mental health issues in a safe & healthy way.
@@HeartSupport I’m not depressed because of a chemical imbalance in my head. I’m depressed because life hurts. It hurts to think it hurts to breathe and it hurts to move. Which one of those can I stop doing? The side effects of pain meds aren’t worth the little relief they offer. And nobody is stabbing me again without a fight
Pain is hard to battle with but always don’t be harsh on yourself. I may have an incurable medial condition. Just don’t let that one thing ruin make you depress.
Hello there!
First off I just want to say thank you for being open with us here- we appreciate it and don’t take it for granted.
I am sorry that the doctors you have been to have not treated you with respect and acceptance. You deserve to be accepted, and understood, and I am sorry you have not received that from those people.
Asking for help in the start is so hard… I am so glad you did ask for help, that is a big step and it should have been met with acceptance. To an extent I can relate to you on stopping asking for help. Sometimes it gets very tiring when people don’t understand or listen, or they assume things that are not true. They should treat people as they would like to be treated, step into their shoes and be understanding.
Friend, I really hope you do reach out for help again. Sometimes you just have to find the right person; I know that can be annoying and frustrating but there is someone out there that can help you, and that will listen to you and treat you with respect.
I understand the want to give up, to just wait for something to happen. Lately I have been there myself, just waiting for whatever to happen, not caring about what I spend my money or time on… I guess I have come to the realization I’m not going to die any time soon I guess, so it’s kind of kick started me back into action of setting up for the future. It is hard to get back up, to get back at trying to get better. It is tiring, but please know that it does get better. It takes time and work, but it DOES get better. I know how tiring it has got to be to deal with people and emotions, I know how hard it is to get back up on your feet.
My friend, you are deserving or love and acceptance. You are worthy of love and help. You deserve to be understood and helped. I promise you there are people out there who can help, I know it is so tiring but it is possible to get better, it is possible to find someone who can help your through the struggles in life.
When I was looking for a doctor that I would be comfortable with, it took me quite a few times. But I found her, please know it is possible. I used the app ZocDoc personally to help me find a doctor I would be comfortable with, it gives you a list of the types of doctors, and when you pick what you are looking for you get a list of the actual people in your area.
You are not alone in this struggle, you are not alone in this pain. There is help, you are deserving of help, you are deserving of acceptance.
Please know we are here for you… here to listen and be a shoulder to lean on.
I believe in you, there is help out there, there are people who are understanding, there are people who will meet you where you are.
Take it slow friend, much love.
Lys
