被诊断患有精神疾病的最困难部分是什么？

大约30年前，我被诊断出患有多种精神疾病。这是一次可怕的经历。我恨我自己和我周围的人。我不相信自己。我睡不着，吃不下。太可怕了。我的家人不愿意相信他的女儿有精神病。他们不想让别人，甚至是亲密的朋友和家人知道这件事。他们加入了一个家庭对家庭的小组，并了解到他们并不孤单。现在他们能更好地理解我，也不介意和别人谈论。 I have found a good therapist and a good psychiatrist who believes in me and wants me to understand my illnesses. I have gotten better and I have set myself some goal with the encouragement from my therapist.I have gotten to the point where I don't mind talking to certain people about my problems and they seem to understand and do not treat me any different like some other people did. I hardly ever hear voices anymore which is a good thing. I do not stay suicidal all the time like I used to. I am lucky to have such a good treatment team and family and friends who now knows where I am coming from. That sure does make things a whole lot easier for me. I have also learned to accept myself the way I am and not the way others think I should be. That was one of the hard things for me to do.

你很好地捕捉到了一些与精神疾病最初诊断相关的各种困难。对我来说，最困难的事情之一是接受(或缺乏接受)的想法。就我个人而言，这包括两种截然不同的接受:来自他人的接受和对自己的接受。我失去了友谊和工作机会。不过，我并没有责怪别人。我谴责我自己。我很容易就找到了许多恨自己的理由。我仍然在努力，但由于许多不同的因素，它已经变得更好了。然而，我认为我将永远与之斗争，我将永远记得由于别人和我自己的不接受而带来的耻辱的刺痛。

没有人谈过与治疗师的关系，所以我有不同的分享。当我们融合得很好时，我很幸运地找到我的第一个治疗师。我明白的许多其他人并不总是如此。我能够完全打开自己并沟通我生命中的每一刻。她完全接受了我所说的任何东西。她相信我并相信我。她向我展示了一切让我开始对自己慈悲的一切。现在，一个最难的部分，一年后她搬走了。我以为我的世界结束了。我们共同努力寻找一个解决方案 - 我写了一份专业人士并将其列出，以及是否应该跟随她并每两周驾驶412英里，以便治疗或试图找到靠近我家的新治疗师。 It took a month for my decision, to follow her for therapy, to feel like the correct one. At no point did she tell me her opinion until I had told her mine. She agreed it was the best decision for me. I had to learn how to drive in a very large city at the age of 57. Not an easy thing to do, but I was determined. I continued my therapy with her for the next 6 years and it proved to be the best decision over and over again. And then she retired. Another very difficult situation for me. I chose another therapist closer to home which proved not to be the best for me so I changed to another. One and a half years later I'm doing very well with my second choice. It was so difficult in the beginning but she was patient and we discussed my feelings about almost having to start from the beginning in order for her to understand me at this point in time. That was frustrating for me but it didn't make me relive the trauma I experienced when I was young. We now have a good relationship and I believe I've moved on quite nicely. I also had to change psychiatrists, I met with the only one in my clinic, I fired him after one visit and now am having my internal med doctor monitor my meds. I also have some members in my family not able to believe me or support me and, yes, it is very hurtful.

我也同意Nicki。对我来说，精神疾病的最难部分是否认我有精神疾病的家庭。
他们认为我只是懒惰，想要一个“轻松”的方式来“退房！”像我们的生活实际上很容易，我们不想要更美好的生活！
我的大多数家人都说我的精神疾病是假的，因为我小时候不是这样的。(精神分裂-情感障碍通常在晚年出现。)
起初，我对家人不公平的对待我感到愤怒和不安。然后我就把他们从我的生活中剔除了。
但是愤怒并没有消失。
最终，我把它们都带回了我的生活中。我处理他们的现状，就好像他们也有什么“问题”——无法清楚地看到这个世界和周围的人，也无法表现出同情心。我以我希望得到的同情对待他们!现在好多了!
你知道吗?我所有的侄子侄女都认为我很好，尽管他们的父母告诉他们关于我的谎言。我已经放弃了改变别人对我看法的需要!谢谢你，健康的地方，给了我们一个论坛，在这里讲述我们的故事，表达我们的不满!

娜塔莉,
我是这个网站的新手。喜欢你的文章。我会简单回答:
拒绝，不想染上这种病
尴尬 - 不希望与“那些”人有关
不安全感——我能有效率吗?我能成功吗?
遗弃/孤立 - 谁将接受我？（朋友，家庭，合作伙伴）
我在15年前被诊断为II型BP，现在仍然有这些困难。

我想最困难的部分是有亲戚不相信精神疾病，但相信我只需要精神治愈，而不是药物治疗…

我需要了解其他有精神疾病的人和糟糕的精神病医生。我开始感到孤独。
