PsychaDelia Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm really crap at doing these things so I'll just blab a bit. I'm Delia, 23 & of the female variety. Recently been diagnosed with Panic Disorder & Mixed Anxiety & Depressive Disorder. I've suffered with Panic Attacks on & off 4 about 8 years & been an undiagnosed Depressive around the same time. I wouldn't go to the Doctor's until recently but I finally told myself I need the help. I also suffer with Agoraphobia & got mild OCD which I have had since a child. I've fallen into depersonalisation recently & I am finding it hard to deal with as i'm driving myself crazy with frustration as my short term memory is shot to pieces. I started taking medication, for the first time ever, 9 days ago to try to get my panic attacks under control, so far, no improvement. I also suffer from verbal diarrhoea, as you can probably see from this post, so expect loads of posts rambling on about nothing. Typing is the only way I can express myself properly as no one I know understands what I'm going through. Also, I hope one day to be a Psychiatrist, very ironic!! So, that's me in a nut shell. Total mental f**k up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resonance Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Welcome! Ask if you have any questions. We are friendly to rambling. Psychiatrists and psychologists have a high proportion of crazy, in case you didn't know already... (Former psych major here...although I didn't wind up in the crazy-people part of psychology.) What are you taking atm? (And feel free to ask questions about it on the med boards...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineOutside Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm not very verbal right now but I want to welcome you here. It's a warm place. I'll talk to you more later.... SO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@3AM Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Not "TOTAL" - YET! Welcome. I hope we can help - or at least defuse - or diffuse or confuse - you! And YOUR mission - should you choose to accept it! - is to RECIPROCATE! Out of the "'nut' shell" and into the CB 'bag'! PS - I love your name! You need to get together with "Lysergia". We'll put on some 60's rock and have a "party"! "Turn on! Tune in! Drop out!" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangergirl Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi Delia - love the name! You're in good company here - I suffer from lengthy post-itus too...no one's yelled at me yet...LOL. Actually, not too much yelling goes on here...although, I've been medicated since I showed up...ha ha. Have fun here - it's very supportive and interesting and informative.

PsychaDelia Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the welcome I'm currently on 10mg of Citalopram. They have made my anxiety worse but I'm seeing my Doctor again this week for a dosage increase. Steve @3am - That party sounds good!! I love the look on this forum, from glancing through I can see I can be myself here & not worry about people thinking I've completely lost the plot & on a 1 way road to insanity!!
