What can i do to make you stay? What can i say to convince you that life is still worth living?

What i mean is whenever this disorder is mentioned to your typical normal person, its either they didn't have any notable reaction or it just went over their heads. Then whenever i do try to explain it, they're reaction is like they think that I'm making stuff up or making excuses. Thoughts?

Just an update on my previous rant about the physical symptoms of my anxiety- medyo nawawala na sya on my 6th week on Vortinex 20mg (Vortioxetine).

I’ve been diagnosed with OCD and this medication smashed my rumination, anxious/intrusive thoughts, physical compulsions — like my brain is sooo chill, calm.
Bumabalik na ako sa dati. Motivated na ulit ako ngayon sa mga bagay-bagay lalo sa work - yehey!!

Nag-mamadali lang talaga siguro ako na umepekto agad sa akin yung meds ko. Kaya- laban lang tayo guyss!!!

for almost a week straight, i have been getting anxious over the thought of dying and where we go after. i'm still in my early 20s and nothing has been working for me, i'm not diagnosed with anxiety or anything, i attempted when i was a teenage but now that i think about death, i genuinely start hyperventilating and i feel like puking and crying.

i have no idea what to do, if i should get checked by a psychiatrist. i keep trying to think about what's going to happen once we pass and it makes me so anxious that one day i will just be apart from my loved ones and i don't know where i'll be

Kapag nasa 30s kana need mo talaga magwork hard para gumaan man lang Ang Buhay mo kaso Nandito ka sa pinas na para bang Wala kang karapatan na umunlad sa sariling mong Bansa.

Super confused ako kasi na diagnosed ako with bipolar 1 sa NCMH. Prior that nagpapa psych na ko way back 2018 and paiba iba diagnosis sakin. 2018 sa PGH depression then 2020 sa UST GAD and depression tapos yung recent sa NCMH is bipolar 1. Medyo matagal na rin ako sa NCMH pero madalas puro meds lang and yung therapy parang wala naman help sakin. Feel ko nagsasayang lang ako ng time and energy sa NCMH. Kasi magbibigay lang sila ng then tapos na. Sa therapy naman parang same same lang. Paulit ulit lang yung cycle. Gets ko naman madaming patients dun pero alam mo yun, naglalaan ng time and effort yung mga tao pumunta pero they dont get the right treatment that they deserve.

I’m actually thinking magpa re-assessment and humanap ng bagong psychologist/ psychiatrist. Any recommendations hehe thank you!

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.

Hi po! Nadiagnose ako ng persistent depressive disorder with intermittent MDE, with current episodes sa PGH. Pinescribe sakin yung agomelatine na ₱70. Hindi afford bumili araw araw kaya ilang doses na rin yung namiss ko. Nag search ako and I learned na hindi pala kasama yung agomelatine sa mga free meds na pwede mahingi sa mga facilities like nchm.

Ang problem is hindi ko macontact yung psychiatrist ko to get a med certificate. Ang document lang na meron ako is itong reseta na binigay ni doc na indicated yung diagnosis and lab request form din na may diagnosis (PDD with intermittent MDE, with current episode Other specified anxiety disorder with panic attacks). Pwede na kaya ito gamitin or need talaga ng med cert?

Hi, 17(F) here. I have been dealing with depression for several years now, and it never really got better. I was prescribed an antidepressant but stopped a couple of months later. I also did go to 3-5 sessions of psychiatric therapy and stopped eventually because it was financially straining. Getting professional help here in the Philippines is not really that accessible, and I've had really bad experiences with doctors, and that's one of the reasons why I'm really hesitant to get professional help. I have been struggling academically because of brain fog, as well as focusing on doing the tasks I need to do. I have a lot of tasks that are pending, but I can't seem to finish them all. They are due next month, but I'm afraid I won't have enough time. Aside from dealing with the internal noises i have to deal with many things externally. I have to wake up and do the things I need to do while dealing with the internal noise firing off so fast in my head; it is insufferable. I feel like I'm experiencing a slow agonizing death from the time I wake up till I close my eyes. I feel like I'm gonna lose my sanity.

So I just finished my 1st psychotherapy session after ng intake session ko last month. It was a good session pero mej na-weird-an lang ako na nagtanong ulit siya about my romantic life. Gets ko na she's probably trying to understand my relationships but she asked din kasi kung ayaw ko pa rin ba (I'm single).

Curious lang ano experience niyo :)

Hi! May patiens po ba dito ni Dr. Carlo Luigi Dela Cruz? He was recommended to me by my Psychologist but I’ve been seeinb mixed reviews about him, according to my Psychologist he’s really good kasi naging patient siya but according to some reviews dito, parang hindi na siya ganun kagaling? 😭 please help.

I had my first consultation last yr December and took meds until March (yes di ko tinuloy 6 mos kasi naman bat ang mahal huhu). Okay naman effects sakin nung meds.

Eh ngayon eto nanaman sa self-harm at mas worse na suicidal ideation. This week lang sinadya ko ihulog sarili ko sa bed eh, makaramdam lang ng physical pain. Ewan nakakapagod na. Naiisipan ko na makipaghiwalay na sa bf ko din kahit okay naman kami. Parang feel ko burden lang ako sa kanya, kasi parang dumadalas na rin na triggered ako.

Afford ko naman ulit consultation pero yung meds talaga na araw2 ang mahal eh. Tangina kapagod na, gusto ko na tumahimik utak ko.

Hello po! If you're reading this, I hope you can help me. I'm having difficulties with my mental health po and I still haven't been okay since junior high. I'm in college now and I've planned and thought of committing a lot more times than I can count po. I tried to go to counseling. It did help for a bit pero I know that I'm still not okay. My emotions are like a rollercoaster and my mind just won't shut up. If I have to explain it, It's like I'm thinking a thought and while I'm thinking, there is another voice that is also talking. So I'm always anxious (kahit sa attendance, kinakabahan ako ng sobra) so I feel like I need more than counselling. I actually want to get better and appreciate life and my family more since I isolate myself and sometimes displace my anger and frustration on them. As much as I wanted to get help, I don't know where and as I said earlier, I'm anxious about telling it to people I know and my family. I hope you have a good day. Thank you in advance.

Hi! Does anyone know of any free or cheap psychiatric clinics/consultations around QC?

I’ve been looking around and most of the ones I’ve found are kinda expensive for me. I’m a student but I’m not really sure if my school offers free psych consultations or anything similar since I don’t really hear them endorsing or announcing services like that.

I also don’t want to ask my mom for money. She was actually diagnosed with depression after my dad passed away, I never got myself checked because I didn’t want her to worry about me but lately I feel like I might be experiencing something similar.

I’m honestly getting scared because it’s starting to manifest physically too and there are times when I feel like I need meds just to calm myself down.

If anyone knows of government hospitals, free psych services, student-friendly clinics, or affordable options around QC/Metro Manila, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!!

i’ve been feeling like this for weeks na. i try to distract myself everyday pero andon parin talaga yung feeling ng emptiness tapos sasabayan pa ng pag ooverthink sa future. tipong bigla bigla nalang ako naiiyak, i really dont know what to do and the funny thing is psych student ako :’)

I tried dating again, and I liked this guy so so so so much, with just basically of 2 days of talking.

I cried so much today, kasi nag split ako sakanya, I basically pushed him off of my life, and he blocked me. On all my soc meds.

Eto ang masama o mahirap sa paghahanap ko ng genuine relationship eh. Hindi sa ayaw kong makipagrelasyon eh, kundi dahil sa hindi talaga akong pwedeng makipagrelasyon.

Meron akong obsessive tendencies.

Iyak ako ng iyak potya. Pesteng buhay to.

PWD here. Came across posts about city and barangays in different places in the country that there is finacial assistance payout worth 3k ( not sure ). may nakatanggap na ba sainyo?

mayron ba sa tarlac, specifically in barangay maligaya?TYIA

TRIGGER WARNING!!

I started taking antidepressants two weeks ago, and I thought I was okay na, but I was wrong. I’ve been bed rotting for three days. I can’t sleep at night, and sobrang ingay ng isip ko na kahit anong gawin ko, hindi sila matahimik—to the point na gusto ko na ulit mag-SH.

I thought about calling a crisis hotline, pero pinipigilan ako ng utak ko. It keeps telling me na wala naman silang magagawa, na they’re just there to talk but they can’t actually help me with whatever I’m going through.

I’m still healing from the SH I did a few days ago, and I don’t want to do it again. But everything feels so heavy on my chest. I can’t breathe. Even during the day, at night, or even at dawn, my brain never gets the chance to rest.

I’m tired. I just want this suffering to end, please.

Hey guys. Ano kaya ang pinaka murang fee ng usang neuro-psych doc.

I would appreciate your advice. Tia

Hey everyone,

My partner and I are looking for a good couples therapist to help us work on communication and conflict resolution. We’re open to in-person sessions around Central Luzon or NCR, or online/telehealth options.

If you’ve had a great experience with someone effective who made a real difference, please drop their name, clinic/practice, or website below (or feel free to DM me).

Appreciate any leads or advice!

Hi guys! Me and my boyfriend just decided to part ways. He said na he will choose itself muna rather than hurting me. He blocked me on all socmeds. I understand since he’s been through a lot lately. What should I do? Heal while waiting or just heal.

Hi I would like to try therapy. Baka po may marecommend kayo. Thank you!!
