daffa: Best condition for withdrawal


Recommended Posts

Hi, my name is daffa, Indonesian, 18 years old, the whole 17 years of my life living with stupid social phobia, then searched in google what the **** i was having, then it matched the symptom of social phobia, my uncle (i lived with him) , he just was a stupid traditional man who believed all the nonsense, something mental to him was utterly too hard to believe, so i moved to my parent house, seek psychiarrist, prescribes sertraline, not long, i tried exposure therapy, it cured the **** out. I cant understand why the **** the psychiatrist didnt suggest the therapy instead, after the exposure therapy, i got cured, then the ****in psychiatrist stoppes it cold turkey, then you know. **** happens, now a year gone by, every single thing is wonderful, its getting a lot better, it turned out that i have extraordinary intelligence, grateful for that. Oh yeah, i forgot to add that, i also prescribed olanzapine, cold turkey too 3mg, insomnia still present 4 am now in my nation

Anxiety causes irritability, so means what? It means you gonna struggle with a lot of things that are important, first it makes you hard to get off your phone for sleep, makes you hard to avoid binge eating, makes you messy, makes you unorganized, etc. All of these is essential for your body, not able to sleep has a lot of effect on body, eating randomly too, messy room too. So the only thing gonna do is willpower. I've tried this willpower stuff, and i find it impossible, so i'm looking another way to do it, what was it? Just doing some do able things, like what? For binge eating, eat whatever you love but it's something at least not the worst one or find the best one, if you do scrolling endlessly to calm your mind, find what you would like to do to calm your mind beside that? Something that fix that but also fix other things, like what? Instead scrolling endlessly, do joking around with some stupid crack around your neighborhood, first it avoids cell light for you to sleep, second it makes you socialize(this has a lot of benefit), it gives you night exposure, its fun (free them stress).

****, the anxiety hits me to the ******* bone, i slept at 5 am, my skin pale, my parents dont understand, one thing for sure is the anxiety is a ******* hell, i swear dawg, its terrible, but i'm actually recovering though, i'm 1000x smarter than before, like for example : what is phi exactly? Well if it is 3,14, it may be division from 6,28 , so what does that mean, well its easy to figure it out, what the hell dividing by 2 mean? All that sort of analyze. And i'm in crash now, not wave imagine when i have fully recovered, what i think is, this psychiatrist stuff is really intelectually chalengging healthcare provider must be someone at least just 2 level below nobel laureate in the least, believe me its that complex, i have been misdiagnosed by doctor, i have social phobia, however that goddamn doctor diagmose as schizophrenia, ****

Quit olanzapine cold turkey about 5ish months ago, now cant sleep, and only sleep at 5 am, should i reinstate, before this i have gone cold turkey zoloft 50mg, and i tried to reinstate, and it's kind of work, when i did that, my body kinda have weird feeling, maybe it's working (i swear to God i don't know anything if it means it's working or it's gwtting worse, but i don't ******* know how the **** to do this, and i'm kind of in recovery of zoloft, i don't know about hypersensitivity, but i forget too, i have this plan too, the recovery from zoloft, Made mood better so i might not need to reinstate, and possibly if i fully recovered it kind of help me sleeping you know that zoloft withdrawal gives anxiety, and when anxiety is gone you gonna get more sleepy, but still with the insomnia from olanzapine now. Anyway, **** this healthcare system, the **** i gotta do with some type of deprescribing this incredible dangerous stuff, damn it. To be honest with you, really i m not gonna risk anything with myself, i don't what the **** is happening with me for real, i don't understand how the hell the drugs work, i don't know any inch of it, it's kind of crazy haha! Can i share a picture of me lol!
