    In Iran, the Trump administration and GOP is continuing its "maximum pressure" campaign. Trump appears set on making the Tehran regime pay as steep a price as possible before he leaves the White House.
    The president even asked for military strike options on Iran's nuclear facilities, which Tehran maintains are purely for pursuing civilian power.

    if i had hallucinations only once almost 14 years ago due to sleep deprivation, should my diagnosis still be bipolar-type schizoaffective disorder?

    to be honest, i think i just have bipolar disorder or insomnia

    you take meds?? thats a big factor

    I got schizophrenia but havent had hallucinations in years thanks to psychiatric care

    but to answer your question = the symptoms of your disorder may not be present cause youre under treatment but the disorder itself is still there and the diagnosis is still correct and valid

    I feel like my mental health is deteriorating, man. I can barely focus at work anymore and I succumb to a different degree of numbness every month.

    Consider yourself lucky if you don't live in the south/conservative state. Not hyped about Thanksgiving at all.

    i take medication. the requirements for a bipolar-type schizoaffective disorder diagnosis is experiencing a manic episode and a psychotic episode simultaneously. i experienced hallucinations a week after being manic, so it should be bipolar disorder. when i showed disorganized behavior and disorganized speech, it was because i had anxiety after being admitted to a psychiatric hospital and i dislike its environment.

    yeah, I feel you. I dislike everything bout psychiatric hospitals. From how the doctors and staff there treat you to how it actualy makes your mental health even worse....if they wanted to seriously help me or you they'd give us a better-or at least- not a toxic environment.

    I dont know how long you've been taking meds or what kind of meds you take but I know two things..
    1. you'll go through phases till your doctor finds out what works for you. not cause they're incompetent but cause chemical imbalances and behavioural patterns are different for each person...
    and 2. once you get the proper treatment it takes time to adjust cause you'll have unlearn certain things and re-learn others

    the road to recovery is hard with multiple setbacks but it's also great cause the beauty of yourself and the world around you will take you by surprise. trust me.

    I got my schizophrenia diagnosis in 2017 and had hallucinations of all types along with being like a medication guinea pig and all that f***ed me up more than I can describe with words but now I'm recovering with minor symptoms of my disorder still here and its been years since I had to go to a hospital.

    sorry for the tldr

    i was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2006, which was the only time i ever had hallucinations due to sleep deprivation. my diagnosis was changed to bipolar-type schizoaffective disorder in 2013 after having a manic episode because i stopped taking my medication. my therapist says i don't have to have hallucinations for the diagnosis. i can just show disorganized behavior and disorganized speech, and i'll get the diagnosis. i haven't had symptoms, but i stopped taking my medication a few times and i couldn't sleep for days or a week. i only showed symptoms after i admitted myself to the hospital because my parents were nagging me and i didn't want them to worry. i acted the way i did because of the environment in the psychiatric hospitals. i've heard people with my mental illness will have to stay on medication for the rest of their lives. i think i would be fine if i taper off the medication, but my psychiatrist doesn't want to try it.

    it's not 100% set in stone you'll be on medication for the rest of your life tho

    what is 100% true is that if you dont take em as prescribed you'll only delay your recovery

    My self esteem is the lowest it’s been in awhile. Doesn’t take much to make me feel really small at the moment. Hopefully it passes soon

    Holy f***.

    The trend is short and quick existence. I’m not going to carry on my family’s last name, it’ll end with me.

    But I am setting up a trust so everything I do ends up in my siblings control so that way my impact exceeds my time. There will be a lot to share, I’m proud to say I was the most financially successful of my lineage. I just hope it never gets to the point my parents are here but I’m not, no parent should have to bury their child.

    And guys that’s not a suicidal thing so don’t be alarmed, it’s just a reality I don’t feel like getting into on here.
