ITT: Just post what you want out of life anon, it can be anything, let your dreams run wild, let your mind take flight. Post what you want AND/OR what you expect/want in second place. I'll start:

>Peace of mind

>Want to live somewhere quiet, on my own land, with like minded neighbors near a suburb/lone town for resupply, without any family there to make me feel bad about it

>Would like to save money to travel across country and see where I want to go, kind of a mini-adventure across some states in an RV/truck

>(This part wont ever happen) wish someone who actually understood me would come with me

>Decent sized bong and some pot, a few easy to make meals maybe some fresh stuff, water filter, supplies etc etc

>Golden Dawns Hot Sauce, a small crates worth because its liquid gold

>Ideally to settle down somewhere as I described before, work as a park ranger or something, enjoy life simply

>To escape current living situation

Keeping my thing simple for now. Lets see what /mental/ wants.

Borderline personality disorder and GAD, naturally I smoke cannabis every day, and heavily use benzodiazepines. I used to (and occasionally) do adderall, and I've tried cocaine and heroin once each. Opiates are always fun. I had a semi-recent stint with Tramadol, which had SNRI properties. That, with the occasional toke and a klonipin, was absolutely perfect for socializing and functioning. Oh yeah, and a bunch of DXM when I was 14. And I drink pretty normally.

Borderline, with prior diagnoses of Asperger syndrome, major depressive disorder, and ADHD.

I'm dependent on caffeine, and rarely go a day without at least two cups of coffee, don't know if it counts but ibuprofen pairs well with caffeine. I smoke weed almost every day, and drink real liquor whenever given the chance, and hand sanitizer occasionally.

I miss nicotine every day.

Don't really know (maybe good grades, staying alone during playtime…), at school it was just until twelve years old. After this I think I became too odd so people were afraid and just left me in peace.

Now am almost in peace on this point, except some mockeries on my lack of social skills at work.

Fellow Psychotic Depressive here. Here to tell my story, general psychosis thread. I've had minor hallucinations for as long as I can remember, just silhouettes of animals and such. Cats, dogs, etc. I would have paranoid bouts as a child, which is pretty normal. However, as I progressed into junior high, I would have immobilizing bouts of terror and paranoia that people were out to get me, would hallucinate moderately, and heard voices screaming in my head for 5-10 minutes, completely blocking me out from reality. Around freshman year I had my first mental breakdown/anxiety/panic attack, which started with a random bout of crying during a time of copious stress. Eventually the crying turned to laughter, and I started losing control of my body. After about 20 minutes of sobs and manic laughter and voices in my head and the walls crashing down on my and contorting, things calmed a bit. I cleaned up my face, cleaned the blood from scratching i did to try to bring myself back to reality. Then it hit me again. Incoherent mumbling, sobbing, smiling, laughing, intense audio and visual hallucinations, summed up this experience. Since then Ive had numerous panic/anxiety attacks, hallucinated constantly every day (before meds that I am now on), been admitted to several psych hospitals, and am just now on my path to a slow recovery. I dont know if anyone wants to hear more, (tell me if so) but what are your experiences with psychosis /mental/?

okay, I've never had a history of mental illness, but this is really fucking with me.

last night I had an especially vivid dream, In which i was in a plain household room, watching t.v.v the weird part is that i was my fursona, a jackal. i realized this because I felt something attached to me moving and it was a fucking tail. as i realized what i was, I could feel parts of my body that I don't have in real life: fur, paws, tail, pointed ears, etc. I was panicking in my own fucking dream. I woke up after the most traumatic part, i clawed myself in the head, looked at my paw, and watched and felt claws retracting into my fingers. I woke up almost screaming, and drenched in sweat.The most fucked up part is that I can remember the sensation of the it so much it's like Phantom limb syndrome.

I'm not lying about any of this.this fucking happened to me and I'm really creeped out about it.

Your diagnosis is clear, you're a hobosexual. More precisely, you're narcissistic and regressive, childlish. You think everyone should take care of your needs -and they probably do, yet you're a real piece of shit and come here to talk bull about your parents.

I've been diagnosed ADD, NLD, clinical depression, mix schizoid/schizotypal PD, and a psychotic personality organization .

I'm at risk for psychosis and have been (on the verge of) psychosis before. I also had very severe depersonalization/derealization for both 6 and 4 months respectively from just weed. This was easily the absolute worst time in my life and I never want to go thru that again. I also have visual snow syndrome which is the same as Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder but I had those visual disturbances since childhood and it's not hallucinogen induced.

Due to all this I'm unfortunately limited in how much I can experience with drugs. But drugs are still something I want to play with a bit so looking for highs free from the risk of psychosis and depersonalization/de-realization.

I'm also on antipsychotics and might get added an anti depressant later though theoretically I'm fine to go off these medications for a while if that is required for the drug experience.

Mescaline maybe? Does someone know if mescaline is a safe thing to try?

Any recommendations?

Similar situation as you, few months ago I was tripping on something I'm still waiting to figure out if it was lsd or not, and mixed with cannabis after taking a long break from it due to it exacerbating delusions and causing panic attacks. My minds been really fucked up since then (horrible trip and the ER) and other than any type of downers and dmt is all I can really do. Mescaline tends to have a lot of side effects for a few weeks after if you have a bad reaction or burn out so I can't really say.

Hey /mental/, am I going to have schizophrenia? I have a diagnosis of psychosis from several months ago, but I didn't believe it.

Brief details about me:

I have suicidal thoughts all the time, attempted once.

Had interest in joining extremist groups around the world (this is what motivated my diagnosis, because I'm not a violent person)

Hospitalized many times, once in a longer-term facility for ~7 months.

Had olanzapine, but now I'm off it because I overdosed on all of it while on my current vacation. Doctor here didn't replace it.

Right, so some possible symptoms:

I'm very isolated, started this year. Message one girl that I like every day but that's usually it. Don't see people irl.

I hate going outside.

Dropped out of school twice, for severe anxiety and depression respectively.

Maybe heard faint voices a few times, but I'm not really sure about it.

This month I've been getting strange feelings, can't describe.

Sometimes my thoughts race.

Yesterday night I didn't sleep, but didn't feel tired. At 4am I thought cameras were looking at me, saw strange blobs in my vision, and felt kinda paranoid, lasted 5 minutes.

Pic somewhat related, the country I'm visiting.

 No.11003

More details, the lack of friends and not going outside started this year. Haven't contacted my best friends for months. I mainly message people I've met in hospitals now, if at all.

Motivation varies day to day, but usually it's pretty low.

School performance dropped from 80s and 90s to 70s and one 60, before I dropped out.

A distant relative or two had schizophrenia.

Emotionally I sometimes feel empty, other times depressed, other times normal.

I don't find enjoyment in much anymore, everything seems pointless. Still into football (soccer) for example, but now it seems more bland.

I go on the internet mostly just to get out of this reality and try create a new one..

The other day I met this guy on this website, that surprisingly lives close to me and is extremely interesting and nice.. and we had conversations that may be little to him but I feel as if I've not connected with someone anywhere as near for at least a while, and no one has awoken my interest this way before in years.. But I've come to realize of course this is just something I feel alone…

It feels as if my safe haven has been broken.. I'm feeling the pain of both worlds and I know this stupid prison of a body and my own goof of a lame persona I cannot escape
