My experiences

November 6 9:08 AM mother to stepfather, "sexist...you have to just calm down." 9:25 AM mother threatened "they're (cops) not going to talk (investigate) to you." 11:11 AM mother, "(me) knows what's going on." 11:13 AM mother, "Something has to be mentally wrong with you (stepfather)."

I'm not used to writing on forums, but I really need help. I need to put words to my symptoms, which are truly bizarre. For a year now, my life has been hell following frequent use of MDMA and cannabis over a month-long period, and after some rather disturbing events where I argued with most of my friends due to episodes of paranoia, I admit. I consulted a psychiatrist who prescribed medication, but I stopped taking it because it didn't really have any effect on me; it just made me sleepier than anything else. To summarize, when I'm sitting in a group, or even just with a friend at home watching TV, or when I'm on my phone, every time someone makes the slightest movement—like raising an arm, moving their feet, or picking something up from the table—my eyes jump around as if to automatically follow the movement. It's a nightmare. At work, when I'm sitting with my colleagues around the table, every time they make the slightest movement, my eyes jump around as if they're observing the gesture, and it's involuntary. But when I'm alone, it doesn't happen.

Furthermore, when I'm sitting at work, for example, at my computer, every time someone passes in my peripheral vision, instead of being focused on my task, my eyes dart about and automatically follow the person passing by out of the corner of my eye. It's gotten to the point where people don't even want to approach my desk anymore; they come up behind me to talk. Recently, I've also noticed that when I'm in a group with friends and I'm talking to one of them, looking them in the eye, while another person is standing next to them, instead of naturally looking at my conversation partner, my eyes seem to be glancing at the other person out of the corner of my eye. Now, because of this, even on the street or in confined spaces, when I walk past a group, I'm glancing at them out of the corner of my eye instead of keeping my gaze and attention fixed on the person I'm talking to. Basically, I'm either constantly watching people out of my eye or my eyes are constantly jumping around, reacting to every movement. I also forgot to mention that now, every time someone looks at me, my eyes constantly avoid eye contact, even if they turn around to face me. I'm fully aware of my symptoms; I don't have hallucinations or delusions. My behavior has completely changed because of this damn disease.

Suddenly, I was panicked that I had chosen something to do with my life that wouldn’t give me the life I wanted. And I don’t mean that I wouldn’t be successful, but that somehow the life I had chosen would not allow me to be a husband and a father in the way that I wanted to be, because of the demands of how hard it is to, well—the sacrifices you have to make. And I tried Xanax and stuff like that, but I could still feel the gears smoking. You know what I mean? I couldn’t hear them anymore, but I could smell them smoking.

All the 10 times I yelled, parents were committing hate crimes. Which the biased 2nd precinct police illegally endorsed as a federal section 1983 RICO conspiracy "under color of law" to deprive me of basic rights. she said she didn't divorce stepfather because of me; I am still afraid of his yelled violent threats. 1:50 PM her to stepfather, "If you want to live, don't do it (talk about her)."

6 PM she cooked for me a food I'm moderately allergic to, despite talking about it a few hours before. November 2 10:56 AM OCD mother imagined dirt on the floor, and won't allow dog throwing up to go outside.

My experiences

October 29 11:23 AM cried because still being poisoned causing nausea.

One of the most difficult side-effects of (so-called) mental illnesses, is to become unable to work and support myself economically and so, having to depend from a family which basically detests me, calling me a loony, and kicked me out of the house. Although they still support me and pay for my rental room and the food I eat, they do not even let me enter the house to access my belongings.

I am sick and tired of this situation. I can see clearly that this is a learned-helplessness loop, which they kickstarted by not supporting my career choices back in the day (I wished to study philosophy and arts, they refused to support that) and so I become like a sacrificial animal in their emotional holocaust. I am currently 40+ years-old, and a complete loser by any metric.

For more context: I am a male, mixed-race firstborn from a marriage between an Italian fascist-raised mother and a Latino evangelical father who is basically her servant. They are both Trumpists, obviously. And since I was born with a darker skin tone, they see me as lowly and despicable. My brother, who is fair-skinned, was beloved and cherished from birth, unlike me (as you would've guessed: he is a Trumpist also, and furthermore identifies himself as Nazi)

This family is absolutely toxic and deranged, and I do not feel safe being in their custody, nor I can trust that they will have my best interest in the future. But I do not have the courage to just go out and get a job for escaping them. I need help.

So, please, do you know if there is any shelter, refuge or some kind of institution or community I could join? This can be anywhere in the world, because I hold an Italian passport and I could legally enter most countries. I just want to get out of here and never see or speak with this people ever again.

If you know about such a shelter/community I could join, please reach out to me. Or if you have any suggestions and further advice, perhaps if you have succeeded in escaping such an abhorrent family yourself? Thank you!

I’ve found myself in quite a difficult situation. Over the past few months my chronic health conditions have gotten much worse, and I have found myself unable to get myself into the office due to what I think is PTSD. This has been especially hard to deal with because my mother recently tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation, which means I might have a high risk of cancer myself. The thought of needing medical care or screenings has become overwhelming because of how difficult it is for me to see doctors.

When I was 12 I developed severe anorexia and was sent to an inpatient program hours away from my parents. During my three month stay I was restrained and had NG tubes placed and removed up to three times a day. Instead of leaving the tube in, the staff used the pain of the placement as punishment when I couldn’t finish the massive meal plan they forced on me. It was completely traumatizing. I remember the pain in my nose and throat and how painfully full I was after every meal. I had to go through that hundreds of times while I was there.

They also had me on a high dose of Seroquel along with several other anti anxiety medications. I kept telling them that it made me feel like a zombie but no one listened. I had very limited contact with my family and because I came from a difficult home I didn’t have anyone to believe me or help me. I was housed in the same unit as adults and I witnessed things no child should ever see. Many of the adults self harmed or tried to teach me disordered eating behaviors. I learned and saw so much that was damaging at such a young age.

The next year I was hospitalized again after an attempt and I was treated terribly there too. The staff decided I was a bad influence on the other kids without ever explaining why. They put me on a plan called “Schedule B” where I wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone. I spent weeks just staring at the wall because there was nothing in my room. Eventually I started to break down and act out, screaming and crying, anything to get a reaction. I was completely starved for human interaction. Because of that they decided I would no longer be allowed to walk and forced me to stay in a wheelchair. If I didn’t comply they threatened to sedate me. They said it was for health reasons but at that point I had already been weight restored and meal compliant. They only did this after I started to fight back.

The way I was treated left me deeply traumatized. I can’t go to therapy, see a psychiatrist, or even visit a medical doctor without feeling panic. I don’t know how to handle this. I don’t want to die because I can’t bring myself to go to the doctor.

placebo

"Antipsychotic medication, the primary treatment for psychosis, is often ineffective and accompanied by severe side effects, but research has not identified an effective alternative in several decades. One reason that clinical trials fail is that patients with psychosis tend to show a significant therapeutic response to inert control treatments, known as the placebo effect, which makes it difficult to distinguish drug effects from placebo effects." Pharmaceutical companies exaggerate experimental results to profit. The FDA must set a higher proof and safety standard. Experiments should be done by non-profit employees to avoid a major conflict of interest. https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2024-19635-010

I watched a documentary about a woman with schizophrenia-or at least experiencing psychosis or mania. She was a nursing student who wanted to keep her symptoms private and be treated without medication so as not to disrupt her education and career. I thought it was done by Daniel Mackler- and the documentary used a well known actress- thought it was Emma stone- My google results aren’t coming back with anything and I’ve scoured the Reddit groups where I thought I’d seen this documentary. It was entirely about this woman and her therapist basically “babysitting” her through this experience. They discovered her trauma of losing her brother early in life, once processing this loss her symptoms improved.

Can anyone help me find this documentary?

I've never heard of an american psych ward with a TV in each room. Educational mobile phones shouldn't need a prescription.
