AnonymousI thought it was pretty accurate (and NAMI agrees!)
Mental Illness in film is never going to be quite correct, but it’s getting better.
I’ve been in and out of the psychward, so that’s why updating hasn’t really happened. Y’all are welcome to submit your ideas though! Take care.
I need to survey people for my psychology class. If you’re under 25, will you please help me? It’s about eating habits. If you have an ED or not, it would be appreciated if you would complete the survey. Message me if you’ll help, please!
My doctor is adamant I’m OCD, but the OCD program she wanted me to get into at Rodger’s Memorial hospital won’t take me because apparently they think I’m schizophrenic. I’m so confused.
I’ve not been ignoring you. I’ve been in the psychward for the past three weeks. I’m back and will soon be posting more!
Seriously, no one’s listening to me. Apparently “They’re a product of my mind”. SO does that mean I’m the one predicting the apocalypse?
All of my teachers are on a campaign to get me to grow up now. That means extra assignments and my grades dropping because I have at least three appointments with therapists/psychiatrists a week and I can’t keep up with all of it, but they don’t seem to care. Schools really need to employ better mental health aware staff because mental illness is surprisingly common, but there’s so much shit out there about it that no one who’s not directly involved in Mental health actually understands it. Even the psychiatrists I’ve seen don’t seem to entirely get it.I’ve been diagnosed with OCD w/ psychosis and panic attacks (“although, most psychiatrists and medical professionals would say you’re schizophrenic.”) but the school social worker has convinced my friends that I’m attention seeking and just a tad depressed. And it is oh-so helpful when friends tell you to “Grow up” when you’re trying to not completely have a panic attack and are trying to ignore “hallucinations” who want you to just go kill yourself/convince you the world is ending.
Wow, aren’t people at school helpful? I mean, fuck, between the useless teachers and the even more useless “guidance” staff at most of the schools I’ve heard of…schools need better people. I’m lucky that only one teacher didn’t get it and everyone else did. It wasn’t like that last time. Argh, school sucks.
