They think I want problems

Earlier I asked questions to my sister about her disability status(she has mixed anxiety and depression disorder)

And people from my family were like I look for issues, that I want to be disabled

I just asked because it happened several times that people told me I should ask the disability status and I was curious (I can’t for now though because I don’t have a diagnosis)

But for my family it’s like I want to be this, that, like some people on social media that fake being mentally ill

My family doesn’t believe I really have something and think one day I will wake up and stop complaining about my issues they don’t consider as important

They keep saying to me I have nothing, and when I’m like I’m just like my sister with mental health issues they’re like she was hospitalised because she lost a lot of weight

And then say I have nothing

I wasn’t hospitalised, but I suffered several months with non stop psychosis, was on edge all the time to the point I started to puke every day

I have anxiety almost every day

I sometimes feel empty, and feel so depressed I don’t want to do anything all day

I have enough of my family dismissing my issues

Sorry to hear that. My dad had schizophrenia and my mom has OCD. Also I have other family members who are mentally ill. They’re very supportive, but they don’t want me to talk about my mental illness they want me to enjoy life. That’s why I talk on the forum.

That’s great you have supportive family members

My sister sometimes listen to me when I need to talk, but still says bad things like I look for issues like other family members

Just because when I learned more about mental illnesses, I said to my family hypothesis about what I have

I don’t find it fancy to have issues, I just try to understand what I have

For now I don’t have responses from my psychiatrist and my family says things like I have nothing so sometimes it happened to me to list the symptoms of an illness I have to prove them wrong

Usually you go into hospital with acute psychosis

Are you sure it was acute psychosis ( hearing voices for months im not sure if that is acute psychosis? )

Yes, I heard voices for several months non stop

But it’s true I don’t think I said either to my doctor or psychiatrist it lasted for months I just said I had voices

When it happened I didn’t have a psychiatrist yet

It’s because I felt so bad, it made me so anxious,on edge I said to my doctor I heard voices and she told me to see a psychiatrist

I had to wait one month for the appointement and then I was given medication when I had the first appointement with my psychiatrist

I felt better after at least several weeks I think

You need to write everything down and tell your psychiatrist

16

Rather than being something sinister, not wanting to work is part and parcel with schizophrenia as there are a number of symptoms that make working consistently difficult. Avolition, chronic fatigue, difficulties thinking, positives and more. Don’t worry about those that accuse you of malingering, they don’t understand what you are going through.

@Frenetic Her family wont listen to her complaints of low mood and anxiety and having heard voices

She hasnt told the psychiatrist its been going on for many months whom shes seen once and psychiatrist doesnt usually give a dx after one visit

@Vaiana you have severe worry, stress, anxiety, low mood you really need to speak to your doctor again. Nobody knows what is happening with you?

18

You talk about every symptoms in general or about what I feel recently because of work?

I try to write new symptoms for each appointement

Recently I mostly feel bad because of work

19

Tell the psychiatrist everything next time you see doctor. They need the full picture of your life

I didn’t see her only once

Sorry I didn’t express myself well, I see her for over one year, 2 years in April
