Essential The Mental Health Thread

I've interacted with an individual that has it and also have done some reading on it.
What's up?
Do you know of any coping techniques for it? Also, I’m just curious, what is your relationship like with the individual you know that has it?
The best thing is getting in touch with a psychiatrist for anti-depressants and something to deal with the anxiety.
From there, CBT with a psychologist is helpful.
I'm not sure on the depth of missed experiences, but the acquaintance of mine (former high school classmate) that has it never went on an escalator, carried a basket in a grocery store or operated the push and pull doors at one point.
He was decent in group structures but only for a certain amount of time before the paranoia ate him up. A common thing with some of these mental illnesses and disabilities is the mind turning against itself. Same thing with this AVPD, paranoia and negative self affixed thoughts fester.
I saw him recently and he can initiate a conversation and continues to add to his missed experiences. Has a friend group and leaves the house regularly. It takes work like most things, but he had a network of things working at the same time to get here.
I'm not a doctor, but they are the best bet to ask for further steps.

For the past month since I stopped taking Exxfor I've been completely miserable, like in a mental hell. I've also been irrational and angry, luckily so far I've kept these emotions bottled up. Depression is getting worse, etc. antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is a motherfukker, thought Wellbutin and Rexuti would hold me down during this transition period but its like I'm not taking them at all.
The new medications I'm supposed to be subscribed are Vortioxetine and Vilazodone. Hopefully I can go back to being
like I was before, haven't been truly happy in years. I don't expect the new meds to make me all 
just hopefully better than I'm doing now. Having that seizure fukked everything up as my psychologist suggested I go to my primary care doctor to get checked out. Can't have two physicals in the same year so I gotta wait until January to actually get the physical

Slipped up with my pills and missed a day
Horrible kickbacks, right back to the apathy and depression, irritability and anger. No appetite. All of those horrible lows including lack of needing sleep all popped up after not making it back to my pills.
I'll be honest, I have thought about going off of them because it seems like I missed an aspect of the mania. But this wasn't intentional. I will NEVER go off of these pills again.
Prior to this, I get a daily thought that this is with me for the long haul. Something about that makes things peculiar, but it also inspires me to help out others, especially within our community. When I'm allowed to go back to school I'm switching paths.

3 whole days of being lower than low because I missed my pills once.
Fortunately, I had a somewhat decent mind throughout and it made me realize how harmful that state is. Have no idea how I lived with that for damn near 20 years and was still productive.
I'm finally free and I feel great, a little slow, but that should go away too.

Try not to quit on it. People have incompatible therapists all the time and request new ones
Try requesting someone who can suit your needs a bit better and that could help
When I first started early last year I had 2 therapists that I was interested in but when I had a session it went completely downhill
my current one tho is amazing. Love her
Could I ask you what you were prescribed? I just saw a new psych and he prescribed me basically allergy meds

Went to the doctor for a checkup yesterday and we confirmed that I'm having a depressive episode. Been in it since Saturday after my coping mechanisms all melted away facing some adversity.
Apathy, check.
Random outpouring of tears, check.
I can function moderately well but I can't summon any energy at all. I want to get out of it badly, even if I know it'll come back again. Even just to laugh would be nice.
I watched an interview about a man talking about his head and episodes he said, "it's a nasty place in there. I don't say nice things to myself."
A nasty place indeed. I can see it and not lean into it, the sun will break the night soon. I hope to return to a leveled out me soon, this is definitely not it.
