Mental/mental Disorders

For me, the strongest manifestations of OCD have been like I've been alone for a long time - no friends, acquaintances, boyfriend, work, colleagues. I've had periods of isolation like this, and i've had the worst time since I've been on OCD.

No, that's just a reason to unlock them. It was in you, just uncomfortable circumstances have begun to take it out. The reasons for its existence are in your past. The heaviest ones are those from childhood, but if you show it later, it's not. The lighter ones are from injuries when you're already in your later years. For example, a reaction to trauma inflicted by a partner/friends.

If a person is prone to mental disorders will develop these disorders. Whether he lives with someone or is alone will not make any difference, in the sense that the disorder will manifest itself in any case. If he is not married, and does not have any very close relatives - he will not be able to rely on close people to be by his side unconditionally - without seeking payment, so he will not burden the bits and emotions of anyone with his illness. If there are close people the stress these people will experience will burden them very hard and their lives in general and inflict trauma on them for life, adding that they may have some physical problems with their stomach, heart and, etc., from the tension they experience past their loved one and the anguish. , which they experience on it.

Loneliness is a catalyst. The real reasons are different. It's not about loneliness, it's about inaction. If your brain isn't busy with something pressing and useful, it's sitting and cycles in stupid thoughts.

Recently within a week I received two panic attacks. I've always been anxious, I've had a nervous stomach, but that's never happened to me. I spoke to a doctor, not a psychologist, not a psychiatrist, but a doctor. He asked me over 20 questions and said my symptoms were typical of the onset of panic disorder. I changed town a year ago, so I changed two quarters this year. There were four of us in the first place, but in the second, it's just me and my boyfriend. We don't see each other very often, most of the time when we're together, we're by work and lectures. For this year I did not go out much, I did not travel, I read only 3 books, my friend's mother became seriously ill, my brother had big problems at school and I lost a relative. The doctor said that usually there is no single reason for the appearance of any type of disorder, usually a complex of causes. Then I started to follow more closely, and it turned out that at times I was getting into some bad things. Public transport is his greatest horror and my fear goes from there that if I get sick, I have to wait until the next stop to get off, where I'll be completely alone. In fact, it is precisely this "completely alone" or surrounded by disinterested strangers that is the root of the problem. So, yes, loneliness is sometimes the cause of various worries, here we are talking about a clear fear- that someone may do something bad to us, or that they may not react at all if something bad happens to us. The good news is that in general this is only in the head of the sufferer and the way is to give himself a break and realize that these fears guide him, which is wrong.

I'm the author. I made a mistake because I write from a phone - it must be "paranoid schizophrenia." Also, I want to apologize if I would have affected anyone with my subject. The goal is to look at in what circumstances certain "deviations" have occurred (I do not even want to call them that, because it sounds rude) in each of the commenters on the topic (if they share personal experience) and may not be diagnosed by a psychiatrist, they may not name their emotions, thoughts and behavior in terms, or may be diagnosed, so we will also distinguish between an undiagnosed person and one with a diagnosis. I'm not diagnosed, but I have my "deviations" to raise the subject, so I am excited and personally, I have read, and quite a lot of literature, but I do not want to self-insinual, and on the one name "diagnosis" I will not improve (on the presumption that I do not believe in medication as a means of solving the 'problem', they regulate chemicals, and hormones, but do not correct thoughts , and feelings forever), but for medical treatment requires a correct diagnosis, a fact, so as not to get worse, so - we do not exclude it as an option in the comments, everyone can write what they want to share on the topic.

First, tell me how old you are, are you a man or a woman and what you do. You probably live alone and tell you what kind of mental and mental disorders you have. Does living alone disturb you? Give me more information.

I'm the author. Thanks for the answers. Towards 1 - I wonder why loneliness, living alone and reduced social contacts are a catalyst for bad feelings, and thoughts that can become intrusive and problematic, as if we are not alone with ourselves. By 2 - I have both from childhood and at a later age. I think over time it shows more, even the choices I make are dictated by the past and help deepen the "mental and emotional biases" (I open a bracket for this word "deviation," a deviation from the norm, but it seems to me that many people are outside the normality norm, which is "balance," just some do not interfere with them, otherwise, one in four has a mental disorder, according to the source. I can't quote right now. ) About 3, yes, but I don't want to justify everything with heredity and genes. My grandmother, she explains why her sons are incompetent, she thinks it's because, their father, her husband, he's a bad character, and you see, she betrayed them, and at the same time, she's innocent, even though they grew up with her, and she was an example and an educator for them - according to her, she has nothing to do with them being incompetent. , in her own words. There is heredity, but there is something else, besides, I strongly want to believe that we have free will and can cope with the "pre-planned". I have alcoholics in the genus, I also loved the taste of certain alcohols and had no measure in drinking, so I chose not to drink at all. With mental disorders, I think the choice of light thought and action - these are the ways. To 4 - action, yes, but sometimes also from excessive engagement there is "burn out," nervous upsets that I think are more directed "out" outside of the experiencing tension, I know such people, constantly shouting, and reacting offensively when something is not what they want, quickly passes them after they are called, but terrorize others. About 5 - thanks for sharing! As I read you, I wondered if you were in the process of dealing with yourself and feeling good at a certain point, and in another, you weren't. As long as you think you're going to be like this? Do you do something to make you feel good, like, I set goals that unfortunately become obsessive and real, I don't help myself. I get one constant, periodically at times, feeling bad thoughts and sensations... By 7- I will not describe myself in detail, I am between the ages of 20 and 30. I live alone. I'm used to being alone. From what I've read, I think I have: borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder type 2, obsessive disorder and part paranoid schizophrenia, which scares me the most because I live alone and I'm scared, sometimes, for example - I shower and suddenly a thought comes up that tells me that there's someone behind me, there's a palpitation, I can't bathe in fear, I stop, I look around. I try not to foam in my eyes so that I can see what is happening around, or I see shadows that again interfere with me, interrupt what I do, sleep on night lights for years, in the corridors and bathroom lights up constantly, and day, and at night. It's not like that all the time, and it's especially paranoid when I'm alone, there's no people in the middle of it, but people are sick, because sleeping people scare me, I think it's not them... The other disorders I mentioned, they give me the "peculiarities" that I am when I am among people. Behaviour such as "overly sensitive," "frightening" or "unreasonable," "trusting" and "incredulous," which is forced by me to protect myself, i'm really very trusting, "loving" to "cold," again, for the same reason, generally, extremely emotional and giving, but trapped in myself for a number of reasons.

Girl, stop reading and put on your own diagnoses. When I look at you, you're fine. Who wrote above that mental illness is derived from inaction, something wrong. Mental illness does not work from inactivity. But yes, you should go out more often. I don't think there's such a thing as normality and abnormality. These are nonexistent concepts. I have schizophrenia myself, my sister has bipolar disorder. We're both from a big city, married, working. It's probably - who, who knows, hereditary, with my sister unlocked in puberty, with me - in the barracks. I take my pills regularly, I see a psychiatrist, I've been to rehab. Doctors say that diseases are chronic, genetic, that they are dependent on a chemical imbalance, but my opinion is that drugs are more harmful. I got sick at 20, from stress, and had the symptoms of all the ailments: the schizo, the OCD, the psychopathy and depression, the autism, the bipolar. Like you, I was reading literature, and I was suggesting, with the difference, that I was really, really, really, unfortunately predisposed. I had anxious thoughts, insomnia, excessive joy, walking this way, intrusiveness, obsessions, suicidal thoughts, lack of emotion and sadness, association, panic attacks, anxious thoughts and constant tension. Then the paranoia, the voices, the visions, the confidence that they were following me began. I see a lot of people are like that, which gives me hope, but it also makes me sad. I have noticed that these conditions are characteristic of smarter people, for the more sensitive, and in general, to modern people, young and old, alienated in the big city, surrounded by electronics, poverty and lack of spirituality and perspectives. I was asocial, too wounded, living in my fantasies, in books and in music. They were constantly harassing and making fun of me, and maybe that unlocked the disease. But what are these diseases? Do they exist? Are they being treated? They don't know anything! It's all hypotheses. I think mental illness is like everyone else, they're no reason to be stigmatized. To this day, I fear people, torment me without cause, start screaming, crying from the feeling that my head is going to burst, I think I'm rubbish, that I can't live among people. Yes, my loneliness has been bad for me. For the first time I felt that there was something wrong with me when I was 8 years old, I just felt bad, I didn't understand the meaning of many things, I was afraid, I lacked emotions and willpower, I felt that I was different and I was afraid... I was afraid of growing up and getting sick, as it did. Why was it meant to be, I don't know.

Mental disorders - because they are mental rather than mental, because "psyche" means "soul" - are inherent in people living in another dimension, for geniuses and creators. Ordinary people won't understand it. But we, those marked by these diseases, understand things much more painfully and truly, we know what it's like to be tortured and suffering, to feel isolated from others. You know how many times I wanted to die, not be born! But now I want to live, and I want to be happy!

Author, you can't have all the mental illnesses. It's hard for a doctor to diagnose, let alone you can do it.

I don't think you're some super-heavy case. A lot of people as kids are afraid of the dark. I was very scared of the dark, being alone in the dark, falling asleep in the dark. Every night my mother would lie down and stand next to me until I fell asleep and necessarily on the light. I don't know exactly how or why, but I stopped being afraid. Today I even find it better to stay in the dark, because the light from lamps annoys me, from comp, TV phone does not annoy me, but from lamps it annoys me and lights them only when I really need them. So I'm not an expert, but I'il recommend things. If you're someone who's inclined to take care of someone (I say, because there are those who aren't, including me), I suggest you get a dog, but it's a big, huge one to give you a feeling and protection, but make it a baby to get used to you and your home easier and faster. The dog will keep you company and look for your attention all the time - I'm not going to let you think things about something stalking you from somewhere. I say and stress a dog, not a cat, because cats need to be alone with themselves, and you need a creature that constantly wants your attention, which you'll have to deal with in every spare minute - being in the bathroom, for example, instead of thinking about how someone or something is stalking you will think about how to wash yourself faster. Because the dog is waiting for his attention to be paid, to walk, to feed, cuddle, to play with him and so on. Also (if you're not inclined to become addicted to watching tv shows) start every night before falling asleep playing a series from a funny series, something banal, a little dull, here's a few examples - baby daddy, melissa, 2 broke girls, the big bang theory, mike and molly, happily divorced, hot in cleveland - nothing that's violent , with ghosts, with paranormal, with stalking, with stress, with murder. This I think will help you fall asleep with a smile and more relaxed, along with the dog, which will immediately react and spill if there really is someone or something that will wish you wrong. The dog will help you a lot, in my opinion, even for communicating with people.

Hi. Of course you may have symptoms of mental disorders that are a consequence of loneliness. Last year I had lost my social contacts, had no job, no friends, and I stayed alone all day with no one to say two words to myself. I fell into a deep depression, had crazy thoughts, palpitations, shortness of breath, insomnia, nightmares. I haven't been to psychologists, etc. though it's not bad. I changed the setting abruptly, found a friend, went around with people, and everything disappeared. I hate being alone, and I've always been afraid of loneliness, even though it haunts me quite often. But unlike me, you say you like it. You talk too little and you think too much, and that's how pops up in your head. You'd better consult a specialist.

I'm the author. By 9 - I do not read from sites, but read specialized literature, also a youtube channel dedicated to mental disorders https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyGOloOIJWt8NlE4tnejQeA Interviewing foreign doctors, I like a woman the most - an Indian woman, she is a psychotherapist and explains extremely clearly, so it is not necessary, a person, to have graduated from medicine to understand her. I've been 9 years old, maybe when I tried to slit my wrists, but I felt like I had something to live with. 13 years old. I started reading esoteric/occult/spiritual literature and... my worldview has changed, if it's ever happened before. Number 9, I'm sad for you, why are you afraid of people? Are you afraid of you, yourself? And you're a man :) I still wonder why I'm afraid of sleeping people, since awake are the dangerous :-D I've noticed that I punish myself when someone disappoints me, even though my common sense tells me that I am not entirely responsible for the behavior of the one who has let me down with attitude, somewhat I have a responsibility, but not the whole, and instead of talking, I punish myself, so I developed anorexia, bulimia (already overcome, I think...), but it remains an orthorax (obsessed with "clean food", which is also somewhat useful :) ), which is an aspiration for idealness, but not external, and as physical as internal, of personality, of ideality, with which, not to challenge people, and not to be disappointed. Over time, I realized that no matter how perfect I am, someone will be challenged by some quality or word of mine, there is no way, and in such situations I learned, instead of closing myself and self-harming - to talk. Maybe your fear of people is just that, fear that you're not enough - whatever you want or whatever you think they want - people that you're going to be rejected, and instead of experiencing that stress, you've chosen not to feel, not to communicate, and that leads to emptiness, it's terrible. But I think with the will we can control ourselves. The pills are like glasses that put doctors on patients with diopter, but instead of helping them, they make the eye muscle - slothful. I wore them for half a year and marveled at how much worse I see without them, worse than before, removed them and dealt with self-suggestion, however strange it may sound. Try to like yourself, to reveal yourself, to people, this so-called " from you excessive joy, maybe it is completely normal, I have noticed that people have become closed and cold, so do not judge on them if that is what you do, and at all, comparisons of any kind are harmful. Take time to rest in nature, come, sometime :) https://m.facebook.com/groups/1418698631703123?ref=bookmarks By 10- ironically, I'm into art :-D By 12, I was terrified of separation and abandonment, given that in my childhood I was abandoned, I have no relatives... I can't relive the same thing (abandoning or dying a loved one), I don't want a dog, nor anything alive that could die. Actually, I want to, but I can't... that's why I don't bond and tie myself up, but I want to take care of it so much, and love... I still don't know how it's going to happen. As for the series, I don't know if you've read that I'm setting goals that become obsessions, I put myself in everything 10,000%, and I definitely stop, only, the love for myself has rid me of alcohol, drugs, and somewhat of food disruption. I don't need to do anything, my day is full enough with things I like, it's not about the problem, it's also about communicating with people, I know it without a problem, only I know how I feel when I'm alone and why I'm alone, why I don't let anyone in... I'm working on the issues, but in the meantime, I'm going crazy, I'm really getting worse, and even though I'm not a psychiatrist, and even though I know I'm not using their services, and my pills, I'm reading clinical psychology about a general culture without imagining it, I'm looking like a guy who's fine, but I had acquaintances who went great and killed themselves, so i don't know.
