> Scott, are you okay?
Okay enough, I suppose.
I also find it fatiguing to repeat myself at times. However, there are lots of people and lots of stories and lots of symptoms to keep track of.
> All I sound like is a broken record on this site and when talking to a psychiatrist.
Hmm.
Be that as it may, I will also offer the possibility that you have an underlying bipolar disorder, and that the drugs you have been given - antidepressants and dopamine agonists - uncovered it and made it worse.
> Went through 17 years of life being a normal functioning kid. Just normal growing up, experiencing puberty. Emotions becoming more complex as I grew. Became mildly depressed.
It happens.
> Then took medicine for this.
Which ones?
> The last one I took that had a brain disabling effect on me was Mirapex.
I simply asked you what this brain disabling effect was.
> Before taking it, I guess I was 75% my normal self. About 5 weeks after starting it I took my dose and a few hours later severe, disabling depression kicked in. I'm like this to this day.
Perhaps you can describe in more detail the symptoms or features of this depression. Was this a worsening of the original symptoms or something different?
> I made the decision to start meds based on lies from the psychiatric community
What lies?
Is being wrong a lie?
> Based on the advice I get on this site as well as socialanxietysupport.com, I do not belong on these sites.Is this your own conclusion, or have you actually been told that you don't belong on Psycho-Babble?
> I'm told I just need to be medicated to treat my progressing depression.
What would you like to do about it, now that it exists?
> I know I don't belong in a psychiatrists office.
There is always Catch 22.
> I don't belong in a psychiatric hospital.
Ditto.
> I don't belong in the real world because I'm unable to reach anywhere close to thriving.
Well, unfortunately, you are among others in that same predicament.
> So if the only advice out there to remedy my dire situation is the same BS that is spewed out by the majority of people on this site, then I conclude I belong in a grave.
I don't know where you belong.
If you do belong in a grave, I doubt that you are due to be buried any time soon.
> I hate repeating myself over and over and over only to be told I'm just mistaken or delusional for 8 years now. I can't stand being alive.
1. I do not think that you are delusional.
2. I do not know whether or not you are mistaken.
3. The BS spewed out here is quite variable.
Hopefully, someone here will spew out some BS that you find helpful.
As I detailed in my previous post, I have no doubt that drugs can produce adverse and persistent effects.
I do not know what is wrong with you. I am sorry that you should find yourself in such a frustrating and painful condition.
