LOL Mental Health

>Be me
>Be crazy (Bipolar 1)
>Need help
>Go to Psychiatrist A
>Seventh Day Adventist pamphlets in waiting room + Jesus painting
>That's OK I'm sure he doesn't let his religion supersede his medicine
>Gives me pretty standard bipolar meds (Lithium, Lamictal, Wellbutrin)
>Also tells me to read this book (Nutrient Power) and claims that all mental health conditions including bipolar, autism and schizophrenia can be cured by eating right.
>Also tells me that meat is terrible, "health comes from plants."
>It turns out that Seventh Day Adventists are huge on veganism and nutrition.
>Transition over to new Psych that my insurance covers.
>Diagnostic session, continues medicine regimen.
>"You should try this mindfulness class I am running."
>Well sure why not? There is some evidence that meditation can have positive psychological effects, and my insurance pays for it anyways.
>Go.
>It's really, really culty, for example psych having us circle together close on chairs with our kneels almost touching to "imitate early people huddling around fire for warmth."
>Goes beyond using meditation as a psychological tool into Buddhist territory, talking about the nature of suffering etc.
>He's also a certified Freudian psychoanalyst.
>For two hours he just goes on all these different tangents that seems to mix Freudian nonsense with Buddhism Lite.

I still plan on finishing the 8 session course, but holy fucking shit, what the fuck? Is mental healthcare like this all over, or just in America? Also is this a failure of the underlying science, or a shitty translation from research to clinical?

Trying to figure out mental health treatment makes me pine for a suicide booth.

My experiences weren't remotely like yours, but your image and filename really brings me back. I never framed it that way, but I suppose it was a struggle for stability.

Ultimately I ignored "health" (psychological and otherwise) and focused strictly on functionality. The body was a tool, the mind was a tool, and I would engineer it to do what I wanted by force. That goddamn broken fucking thing.

It worked in a limited sense, but after I dragged myself back to sanity I realized I'd accumulated maladaptive behaviors and was incapable of connecting with other people or functioning for long amounts of time in a social environment. Or any environment, really. I had to let go of the shit I'd created and come to myopically cling to, and re-emerge. Focus on health as well.

The first dumb fuck you went to is partially correct though. Diet and lifestyle is more key than you'd like to admit, you just need to unravel how for your specific case. The rest is environment. Bipolar especially needs a change of environment such that it can find the means to discover sources of deep underlying mental conflict.

Think mechanically.

>it's just x shit and x
Sure thing bud. Keep deluding yourself.

Also this guy is pretty based.Admit it, OP. You don't know shit about the human behavior. Don't be afraid to try what your Doc told you to do.

You need to go to a practice that uses evidence-based medicine. Try to find one affiliated with your university psych/neuro department. Ideally you could find an MD-PhD who has publications related to your disorder.

>Try to find one affiliated with your university psych/neuro department.
Read FERPA and all relevant university privacy policies first.

Guys what should you do if your circumcised and can't feel sex and its driving you insane even more than the trauma?

Please help me I am trying to regrow but I got to wait for foregen even if they do make it I'm chucking a ton of cash if I get it done. Sex feels like nothing. I stopped watching porn and jerking off and now I don't want relationships because I don't really feel completely satisfied so I just ask "What the fuck is the point of this bullshit?"

Kill yourself. Because the only thing worse than being a eurocuck, is trolling with the cut vs uncut arguement.

No seriously. I can't feel sex at all and I need it more than anything right now. I can't feel anything when I have sex and I go for 15-30 minutes or forever.

Seriously I had my first time and I felt nothing.

I don't even orgasm its like "aah...meh"

Use moisturizer, cocoa or shea butter are good to try. Aloe as well.

You can try to restore. I don't know anything about that.

The rest is all psychological (which ties into diet, exercise, lifestyle, etc). I'm not circumcised, but if I'm in a shit mental state my D can more or less feels like a piece of rubber, with small drips of pleasure here and there. Though my orgasms tend to be pretty subpar universally, regardless of mental state. Probably have nerve damage elsewhere or something.

Anyway. Although in my opinion it certainly does matter, you don't know anything else (probably) and that's just how it is now. Give some serious thought to if this has a psychological root, and if a dislike of your body is causing problems.

Well, no. I can get hard for sex but now I just don't even want relationships. I tried with the same girl multiple times. I don't feel the inside of a girl and she can feel everything.

I do dislike my body. I don't have a functioning cock. I guess I'll just try to restore. I get a little closer each day. Finally got the skin lose.

I was born in America, and although I was among the few that happened to dodge that bullet, I still find the existence of this practice in our culture psychologically burdening, especially as I look around at the people having children.

Enough has been done already. It's maddening it can't be immediately stopped by force, and instead has to be left to slowly fizzle out.

Yeah. I am just kinda trying to get over this thing and I just realize how much I actually remembered as a kid. It really fucked me up.

I live in Italy and it's just as bad sadly, I can't help but notice the complete cluelessness of people that have supposedly majored in medicine. Crazy how you can't trust the same people your health depends on...

Do you trust Foregen as an organization? I don't know how I can trust after all those other crowd funding projects and once kiked thice shy.

>I had no idea such an organization existed until now. Not sure if I'm replying to bait

Don't be retarded. Just use your fucking browser.

"Oooooh! Internet soooo spoooky! Maybe my computer get a virus!"

>>diet effects your mental health
>That's insane! I'm getting a new doctor
>>meditation effects your mental health
>Well I guess I'll give it a shot it doesn't take much effort on my part

Your problem isn't the doctors, you just don't apply yourself and actually try what your doctors are telling you to do. Don't just rely on medication, that's retarded and your psychiatrists should have told you that fixing any mental problem starts with yourself and your attitude. Meds are like vitamins, they are only a supplement.

Most psychiatrists just prescribe you a massive dose of medication after the first session, you're lucky to have someone different. He is actually correct that many mental health conditions are caused by poor diet.

This. It's not sostenible to live with meds every day. Your problems' source will always fuck you up until you fix them.

Find someone tighter maybe?
Lasting long is usually a side effect of excessive masturbation. Try taking a break from pleasure/sensation for a week or two, then give it a shot. You'll cum buckets too.

>autism is caused by poor diet
KEK

You're right user, that's just silly. Autism is obviously caused by vaccines.

>many
>but not that many! you lose!
Keep deluding yourself, retard.

Autism isn't but bipolar disorder is. If you don't believe me that's fine, go drug yourself up.

Oh fucking hell.
Everybody has their little pet theory about what causes depression.
>muh diet
>muh testoterone defficiency
>muh base rate fallacy
>muh alienation
>muh economy
>muh disintegration of social bonds

literally any of those make more sense than
>muh chemical imbalance

>depression is a simple state of the human homeostasis. It can be turned ON or OFF
Keep deluding yourself, brainlet.

You can't work someone out of a retreat to magical thinking. Don't even bother, for your own sake.

>you can't convince me
Ok, user. I'm not selling you nothing. Keep trying. ;^=)

yeah its really bad

I have been to 5 psychologists so far and everyone had their own style and everyone of them completely misunderstood me

mental health is probably so difficult because it is badly understood and very individual

>Depression stems from a magical mechanical failure that is non-responsive to internal or external stimuli. It's self sustaining and exists in a vacuum, requiring drugs to correct.
>People having mental problems are broken for life, and society should treat them as such.
Talk about brainlets.

Time to stop posting.

>magical
>If researchers didn't get paid yet to study, then it doesn't work!
Keep deluding yourself, brainlet. ;^=)

Seriously this, coming from someone who suffered through depression. Changing my attitude and lifestyle has helped me MUCH more than any of the meds they ised to prescribe me. I'm happier now without meds and with peace of mind than when I was on meds.

>And this was the moment when OP realized the world is run by violent retards with lots of money.

Foreign fag here. It's worse outside of the US.

There are no drugs for autism? I'm not the OP.

Where I live, these people exist too, but you're usually referred to legit psychiatrists through the health care system. The shady ones prey on the dumb/hard to treat.

Is this a raid by underage trumplets form /8gag/?

[math]\int_a^b x^{2} +\frac{4}{4} [\math]

You mean 2xchan

How about we make this plain and simple: Is muh cause evidence-based? Yes / no / possibly / who knows. Try to find the mechanism supporting the evidence. Try to find further evidence of cases where said mechanism occurs without usual correlations. Refine mechanism when new findings occur. Done. Way better than your "when it gets into my head it makes me feel funny inside because it doesn't work inside my head".
>inb4 go back to read it.

go back to read it, whatever the fuck that is.

Psychology is pseudoscience

It lacks, amongst other things, falsifiability which is the bedrock upon which science is built

Psychologists and psychiatrists don't know what the scientific method is or how to use it

Psychology usurped religion and philosophy in the West because 1) religion is dying out and 2) philosophy can be difficult to read and understand let alone apply it to yourself
Much easier to just have a snake oil salesman tell you it's all because you want to fuck your mom and kill your dad and throw a bottle of SSRIs at you

Wrong you fucking idiot, autism is caused by not understanding the concept of sarcasm.
