Try Again

The best day to talk about mental health, is on a good day, so let’s try again. Recently over the past few months, while being interviewed and observed, it is not believed by my current medical team that I am schizophrenic. I also hope that the content on my blog matches that analysis too and try harder, in terms of what I decide to report or discuss online, maybe just leave it to a report and spare everyone the headache of hearing about however I was harmed.

Overcoming Bullying “Voices”

To me the diagnosis of schizophrenia occurred after I was exposed and bullied, so whatever I was going through at that time, that diagnosis and series of medications was believed to help me cope with those difficulties then. And it’s not been easy since, nothing is full proof, treated, or in remission, or not capable of happening again, if triggered by the same things, people, or issues, of course I will be made to sound disorganized or upset, and wind up talking about things online, not helpful to me or others. So do my best here forward to demonstrate why that diagnosis is no longer being used for me.

Be a Good Patient, Be Compliant

I think I was a great patient, and willing to experiment with taking new meds, being taken off day meds, and was a trooper throughout the process of being treated, and attended therapy regularly to talk about voices, or how I was feeling, with hopes to improve. I am thankful for the moments when voices stop, such as now over the past few weeks, and while in treatment for 7 months I didn’t get voices, which was incredibly peaceful and much needed. Imagine being constantly bombarded with attitudes and comments not occurring in real life, as though I am supposed to tolerate an experimented version of reality that has not already been created for others to comment online, and don’t think that becoming successful will make me any more prepared for what that feels like, if it occurs in the future, and guess I can learn to deal with that daily commentary or disagreement in the event that it occurs.

Be Careful Not to Complain, & Get Sick Again, Lose Your Wellness to Complaint

Until then I’m focused on my health and being grateful for the treatment that I have received and how that helped me and benefited me at the time, not to allow any later medical complaints to take away from the actual treatment received was fine and improved. I think later once you deal with difficulty associated to a term you are no longer diagnosed as, then it’s okay to complain, that makes sense and is nothing that I’m sure a doctor is unprepared for that risk.

Thank You for All Your Support (Dear Readers)

So I appreciate all the support, and even tried to write a book on battling the diagnosis, and still working on it, maybe call it “Misdiagnosed,” and discuss all the ways in which a misdiagnosis can occur, and in what ways you can be harmed in life to result in a misdiagnosis. I think being who I am I am incredibly creative and resourceful and even if I am in my own world making cards, or tweeting, or blogging, or assembling posts, I wouldn’t be online if I did have that creative flair of confidence in putting together things to read or put together in the minds of others. If it didn’t work out for me, I wouldn’t share it, because this system I have created for myself is working for me, I am sharing all the steps along the way, to analyzing life and taking things into consideration before deciding to blog. And so far I have received no complaints over the detail that Ive provided or way of sharing online. I only hope that by improving it will matter less how a misdiagnosis came to be, and just be thankful that I am doing well, and able to battle voices, and misdiagnosis, by improving and staying well, and proving myself online and through writing, just exactly who I am and who Ive helped.
