Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

So I went to different psychiatrists they said I have dysthymia and social anxiety disorder but I've come to realise I have neither yes low levels of serotonin and some other good chemicals and all but honestly I'm just scared of different things and not willing to confront them cause I know I'll feel really bad and nothing will change but that's the whole truth you know even if it doesn't make a difference. But I'll be honest about one thing my thoughts do get disoriented so bad sometimes I could kill myself they don't make sense adding on to my fears but still at the roots letting fear take over is the only illness I have and my medication or whatever I do is orientated towards reducing intensity of that rather than thinking this and that illness it's lame just stop lying if you do this too.
