I Know You All Get This Question All the Time Posted: 04-03-06 04:40am
I've been seeing psychiatrists for years,
and I describe the same symptoms to all of
them. I'm very delusional. To the
point of believing i'm being watched from
the second I wake up in the morning until
I go to sleep. There are also grandiose
thoughts. People are communicating to me
through all forms of media. Every
channel, every sentence (don't worry,
write away if you wanna respond), every
movement, attitude, clothing color, you
name it. Anything could be a signal.
My agoraphobia is debilitating to say the
least. I have had panic attacks in the
past although they seem to be subsiding
lately. The anxiety has not stopped and
has prevented me from doing lots of
important things. I do drink alcohol
heavily on occaision although it is not a
daily thing.
There are no voices in my head, and
hallucinations, if any, are very abrupt.
I've been furious about all this before.
I've even accused my parents very angrily
of being a part of it. I take a moderate
dose of paxil and a moderate dose of
risperdal. Neither of which has seemed
to have a huge effect on anything.
Course alcohol in any amount doesn't help.
(sorry for the length) i've been diagnosed
as bi-polar type ii once before, but the
severity of everything seems a little more
hardcore than that. Misdiagnoses have
been made before with this sort of thing.
My psychiatrists wouldn't be holding
anything back for some reason would they?
Cause they don't say anything when I tell
them about this stuff. I know I also
look like one hell of a narcissist. Its
just getting old. Any opinions would be
greatly appreciated.

I don't believe that your psychiatrist
would be holding back but for piece of
mind maybe go and see another
psychiatrist.

I agree with Harmony. For what reason
would your psychiatrist do that. They are
there to help you and to see that you can
lead a normal life. Or as close to normal
as possible. I too say seek a second
opinion.
