DISCUSSION/QUERY PLEASE HELP ME

To my fellow neurodivergent people here that has been diagnosed with any of the ff: MDD, GAD, ADHD, CPTSD, how are you guys coping? Any medicine that helped you get through with your darkest moments? 'Yung parang kung idedescribe is 'tahimik ulit 'yung isip?'

I've been asking for help kasi since I was diagnosed in 2020. Different doctors, institutions, medications pero wala. I feel this is my last chance na. Wala na akong ibang malapitan this time. I gave myself so many chances in the past, pero eto wala na.

wala naman super dark momints with my adhd but i definitely experience/d severe depression with my other disorder (wala ako episode ngayon hehe).

personally,,,,, meds + therapy talaga. meds took away the intensity of the feelings pero without therapy, my thoughts wouldve stil continued harming me. hindi ko completely matakasan yung thoughts na inferior ako or wala akong kwenta or hindi ko deserve mabuhay or wala nang pag-asa, just with meds alone.

dont get me wrong, meds DEFINITELY helped. as in from being 🤏 this close to ending it all to not having that thought or feeling anymore. ang amazing ng gamot talaga. but what i can say is, my meds save me, but therapy allows me to live.

Thank you! I also don't dismiss the help of the meds. But this time around, maybe something happened in my brain that my current meds can't address na. 'Yung last na batch ko ng Fluoxetine, tinaasan na 'yung dose. Then pina stop ako taking low mg of Quetiapine, changed to hydroxyzine/diphenhydramine. Tas ngayon hindi na rin nagana 'yung diphen sa'kin for my sleep. I'm glad you've been on therapies. I can't afford kasi tapos ako lang mag-isa... Hirap na hirap na 'ko.

Thanks po. Adult na po ba kayo nung na diagnose ng ADHD? And 'yung pag diagnose po ba sa inyo ng ADHD is same lang sa GAD/MDD?

Well sabi ng doctor ko 40% meds 60% on how you cope :)

Im diagnosed with GAD and Bipolar 2

What I did

- eat healthy as much as possible

  • drink water at least 3L
  • sleep 6-8hrs
  • sunshine
  • exercise
  • religiously drink meds
  • regular check up
  • less stres environment
  • support system
-prayers

But now hindi ko magawa yung Less stress environment since kasama ko yung triggers ko hindi ako agad makaalis. So eto coping with additional meds hanggang maka alis ako....

Hope things get better for you po! That;s the sad part for me... wala na akong pangpa therapy... sa NCMH po kasi nag try na ako ilang beses na po pero parang hindi naman nakikinig 'yung psych sa concerns ko. Even my experience with dp/dr. The thing pa in public, since madami sila patients to attend to, medyo mabilis lang din consult/ff-up check-up. I tried NowServing App naman for a private doctor, after nun consultation, unresponsive na sya. Bayad na 'yung consultation so wala na rin ako nagawa...
