This right here. I've had to be committed a few times and trust me, some of the places can screw you up even worst. Definitely find someone to talk to whether its a friend or family member. Even if they don't understand right away, just opening up to someone about how you feel can go a long way. And don't allow yourself to be committed unless its a last resort and if you can help it don't let them send you to a state/county facility.


Naw dude. you got to come back and tell this story.

I don't think there will ever be a solution to my problem (bipolar) its part of who I am and I just try to manage it as life happens.


We need a mental health venting thread. This is literally the only place I can sometimes open up about shyt. Then again if we did make a thread trolls would probably ruin it no time.
There are forums for discussing every mental heath issue out there breh.

Just google it.

why?

everyone dies, I just ponder sometimes whether a unsuspecting heart attack will get me, or will i be ravaged from cancer and die slowly over time


I have no kids no wife, so option number 1 in my 50's early 60s please, if i don't die in a car crash first


Yall dudes are ageist like shyt. That's not even the national average of the age of people who die. fukk that I'm trying to be 85 and calling people on there bullshyt without them being able to say shyt back old. lol

I don't feel like typing everything I went through but I will say that black folks for some reason think mental illness does not exist and my parents were no different. I will say that the first time I was committed I was 16/17. A chick who was being released decided it would be a good idea to give one of the patients a hairpin which led to the girl trying to slice her stomach open. She only manage to cut herself a little before someone tackled her and they locked her in the "blue room". The last time I was committed I was sleeping when someone walked into the room. I thought it was my roommate until I heard a woman's voice saying something about killing a baby. That just some of the dealings with the other patients.

I think he means on the coli. And thats a good idea.


Yeah but he said hes worried about trolls if an Mental health thread is ever started on here, on mental health forums you don't really have to worry about trolls as those forums are tightly moderated.

Dude would be better off starting a social group on here rather than a thread if he doesn't want trolls to interfere with the discussion :manny:

Trolls shouldn't be allowed to interfere with discussions regardless. What's stopping these forums from being as "tightly moderated" as theirs? He obviously feels more comfortable posting on here than elsewhere, otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. Besides it wouldn't be out of the question to designate a mod in keeping these trolls out if need be, would it?

TRUE. but there are very few outlets for discussions on mental health among the Black Community(Is the coli a majority black website?) I think it would be a good idea for the coli to add that kind of forum.

Nice thread, feels good to not feel like I'm the only one.

I was diagnosed manic depressive and bipolar type 2 when i was 15. I spent a lot of my youth in and out of psych wars, and drug rehabs because I tried to self medicate using opiates and benzos, and have tried commiting suicide.

everyday was a struggle. hell, im on meds now, and everyday still feels like a struggle. the smallest task, seems like you're climbin a mountain.

it's especially hard to deal with when people who don't have a clue about mental disorders and have lived perfectly normal lives try givin you advice.

my best advice if you plan to seek professional help is make sure you tell your therapist EVERYTHING. don't be embarrassed, they are there to help you. and try your best to force yourself to go to your therapy appointments even if you don't feel like it. if you don't, you'll be dropped and have to seek another place. and if you think you need meds to deal with it, you won't be able to continue to be prescribed them unless you continue seeing a therapist.

meds take a while before you feel a difference, so try not to get frustrated, and wait a bit. if you don't feel a difference in a month or 2, talk to whoever is prescribing your meds and they'll do some trial and error.. it takes a while to find the med that works for you, not everyone is the same so try and be patient!
