Misdaignosis?

[OutlawGene]

Can you have a bipolar manic episode with reasons? Because usually it's just mood. My manic ep was like a stupid random thing I would do in a day of the week. I didn't have a manic episode where I had a shopping spree or I didn't spend all my money at a strip bar. I thought because these hallucinations that were red laser looking were from my former friend who put pointed a sniper in my face and I thought she shot me like though the gl!@#$%^&* in my house. I saw illusion looking people who I thought were real and she too so yeah there were a lot of reasons I was manic and I don't think it was random. That was after I stopped analyzing so yeah it would be hard to tell whether something was fake or real. My judgment was bad. Now off medicine this would never happen. I don't believe anything or anyone well I can't and I don't trust anyone or anything well I can't. I analyze everything and I'm usually right so far. I can look back and analyze. Im damaged because my doctor prescribes me medicine, my memory sucks I can't memorize and I can't learn with any learning method like kinetic or visual. I was a visual learner. If I say to a court (I am not) I'm in digit without money I'm requesting an attorny.will get I charged?

Boston legal got a lot better and jerry is !@#$%^&*afunny. Usually when your bipolar you have creativity yeah I have abilities in visual, memory, tendencies, visual abilities include a memory ability. They could be from bipolar or skitzo but they aren't from skitzo and bipolar wouldn't give me all of that in one gene. So who thinks in your opinion not a doctors have I been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder? I will ask my doctor about it in 2 weeks but I may skip that because he won't care. I need a new doctor. He ignores my medical needs all the time plus i can get a free doctor. man analyzing amy evanescenses song call me when your sober took over 2 years! it isnt likely that i analyzed wrong.

Do you use drugs? Cause drugs may give symptoms similar to bipolar or could trigger a bipolar breakdown. And some drugs produce halucinations wich you already have.

 

Either way i advice you to drink the treatment the doctor gave you exactly as he described it. Cause some psychiatric medicine must be drinked in certain intervals and if you miss a dose or 2 it could increase your bipolar symptoms. I do tell you that some of those medicines have adverse effects including loss of memory, IQ lowered, impossibility to concentrate and others. If you want to know exactly wich adverse effects produces the treatment you have you cans earch it over the web but sometimes is better no to know them.

 

What you need to do is concentrate on healing and forget about all other stuff. If you are in college or University consider withdrawing from your current semester.

 

Im not sure if u have bipolar or schizo but its clear you have problems if you dont like the diagnosis of your current doctor go to another doctor and ask for a second opinion.

 

NOTE: If you used any drugs tell that to your doctor about it is better to have drugs problem than beeing bipolar or schizo.

First off, use commas please. It's hard to understand your sentences.

 

Based on your statements you sound schizophrenic...but...your goal is to goad an answer, so you've probably included all your "pro-schizo" information but left out most of your manic depressive qualities.

 

As for misdiagnosis, you don't have a case. First of all, mental health diseases don't fit into cookie-cutter catagories. Secondly, the entire field is subjective anyway. "Bipolar Disorder" and "Schizophrenia" are only groups which patients are put into...treatment is done on a one by one basis. For example, if both of us looked at a sign, and I say it's yellow, and you say it's orange, that doesn't necessarily mean one of us are color blind.

 

If you think your drugs are causing hallucinations, tell your doctor. He might have a different medication he could try.

 

 

Edit: As for Wild Luck's suggestion of backing out of school...whatever you do, don't do that. Keeping your mind occupied on other things and interacting with people will lower the frequency of the halluncinations if they aren't drug induced.

you know if he really cant concentrate its better he takes off 1 semester than getting all on F-, but if its just halluncinations that he is having maybe you are right

Well, I was considering what would be best to treat the disease, not what's best for academic advancement. I'm just saying that whatever you have, staying at home and doing nothing all day is going to make it worse.

 

Still, we don't know your schedule or your lifestyle, so this line of thought is improper.

Bipolar disorder not a chance There were at least 5 reasons for my mania and with bipolar disorder there are no reasons for mania with bipolar disorder it is something triggered by the disorder and nothing else.. If I have skitzofrienia, my symptoms would appear all at once so not a chance. My hallucinations are already in catagories. I hallucinate for reasons, non reasons, concious hallucinations, even making a haluccination from a vision I am able to create. Drugs did not cause me to hallucinate or have memory loss. I simply can't memorize as well as I used to. I forget things because of what I have and I remember things because of what I have. It is a balance. Lucid dreaming yeah all the time off medication as well as the other things I have mentioned. Skitofreina not a chance if it is it is really weird. I most likely have epilipsy that would explain my manic state if I even had one and skitzofrenia symptoms. And probably my other symptoms. Random symptoms don't occur in known disorders sorry. Epilepsy absolutely not because I never have had a seizure. Uh I might have women's intuition but I haven't proven that yet. Anyway i'm staying doctor diagnosed bipolar disorder. There were advances that came with being diagnosed disabled. Subsidised housing capability. Social security money.Rumors spread so i'm scared to even convince my doctor i'm not bipolar ha. Here's is the socalled maybe called manic episode details. I walked down a subdivision street and I stopped at a mainstreet then my friend held up a sniper rife to my face pointed at me smiling goofily.... I had been believing a million things lately. I walked past her not even regonizing who she is and walked and the rest doesn't matter. But night was the second I was seeing red laser hallucinations that freaked me out and I was paranoid so much I saw hallucinations of the girl with the sniper rifle and her mixed with some guy I don't know who had been stalking me who had thought I was my dad. and him. He looked like 5 different people in 2 days so I thought he was getting drunk and losing weight but come to think of it that doesn't make sense. Who was I seeing anyway? he kept stalking me. Maybe no one. Oh man...ok these were 5 different people and I think one of them really was my brother. I just can't see myself hallucinating reality because I wasn't born with that kind of creativity and I know it. so that kept me thinking all day. I hallucinated based on my creative abilitiy and that is very very very obvious. 5 lookalikes in a week wow thats a coinicidence. oH yeah one of em worked at the library. I saw him when i stopped hallucinating and when I didn't and the other one was just some lookalike of my brother who lives in a subdivision over.then theres one guy who just looks like my dad great that sucks. ok then theres the guy who looks like my other brother who wore a similar shirt my bro wore that day who was with my ex and her sister and my ex waved to me. I started hallucinating replacement words in writings. off topic now on topic. ok I was paraniod i wanted to lock all the doors tell my mom to lock all of them and i was freaking out and was frustrated and when im frustrated I usually think the wrong things because i'm a random guy. I believed a belief that was among my many other stupid believes which I had like a million of that someone in my backyard shot me and i then realized that you can live after that well it has happened before. I wasn't able to think rationally. and i wasn't a day before..a day before.and so on. Today I unconsciously place a mac apple laptop charger in my messenger bag while I was thinking hmm new symptom didn't know I was still randomly having new symptoms. I close my eyes and I see visions. hear not my own thoughts,voices, yesterday I had a new symptom um 2 mindsets/personalities talking to me in my head. Maybe i'm hearing them outside of my head anyway that's not proven. I don't know much about disorders becoming more than their disorder like skitzofriena turning into something more or bipolar disorder turning into something more. I'm on lithium for a mood stabalizer, Geodon for bipolar disorder,Ativan for anxiety, and remeron for sleep, anxeity, it works for depression but i'm not depressed anymore. The geodon helps me with the symptoms. I posted this reply at http://forums.wrongdiagnosis.com/showthrea...67403#post67403 Maybe you wanna read what doctors have to say in a few days...check in a few days.

[MikeTheNose]

I think people who can't paragraph and write proper sentences have a disease.

wtf, too much text, too much information about something that doesn't concern any of us... This is a SubSpace forum, how are we suppose to help? Why refer us to another forum that concerns you, and not us? Are you advertising, or willfully spamming multiple forums such as this or the server help forums?

 

Answer those questions in less than a paragraph (no, less than 2 lines), and maybe it's worth reading that entire block of ASCII tetris.

So much for subspace trying to improve our sense of community...

 

Outlaw i had wondered why I hadn't seen you in ages... I assume you've asked your family all these questions before asking us? If not, do so.

I see that you are on medication but it obviously is not working very well. Please go back to your doctor. Print out what you just wrote us. Who wants to go through life with all this weird stuff happening to their mind? Don't you want some peace in your life? The chemicals in your brain are not adjusting to your drug dosages' date=' so bizarre new hallucinations feel like you have a new mental illness. Have you been to a neurologist who can order some brain scans? Go to your doctor today. Would you consider checking yourself into a psychiatric facility so they can adjust your medicine dosage and keep you safe?[/quote']
