I was put in a mental hospital and they thought I had schizophrenia, now my new psychiatrist said she's worried about me going blind

[sm20]

I was always so worried about my eye issues thinking I might be on the verge of going blind, my parents said it was nothing. I was put in a mental hospital after nearly climbing a cell tower to jump off of it and they said it was schizophrenia. The antipsychotic meds haven't helped noticeably and my new psychiatrist said my eye issues sound like something that would lead to blindness without treatment. I was already worried about blindness but this just makes it feel so much more real. The eye doctor hasn't found anything yet, I just feel like I'm in hell I was already suicidal before all of this I can't take being blind I've already sort of lost my hearing due to how sensitive it is I just can't do this anymore I'm on the verge of crying. I still can't get sn until July 25th so hopefully, my source doesn't disappear before then.

Oh god...
I'm sooo sorry. This world is so unfair...
You don't deserve to go through this.

I can do nothing but send you lots of hugs and love.

Hope things, somehow, get better.

Wish you the best,

Matt

The human body can literally be a prison and can torture us in many ways, I know how that feels. You have been through a lot, life can be so cruel to us. It's why I think as humans we deserve a right to a peaceful death. I wish you the best.

Fun fact, the first psych meds were actually marketed as chemical lobotomies.

I don't see why or how a psychiatrist would be qualified to tell you anything about your eyes when your own eye doctor has found nothing wrong. What led you to try to jump?

Also be careful with antipsychotics, have a shit ton of side effects that doctors don't talk enough about and can be permanent for some people (like anhedonia).

Yeah I had Risperidone at the age of 13 never recovered. Actually psychiatrist don't even mention side effects. I asked about serotonin inhibitor well known side effect from our "best" doctor in our country and she just brushed it off. I think it is from this experiment where the conclusion is that anyone can torture. My opinion is they fully understand the consequences but it gives them this tiny power and money

I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that all doctors are like this. Some have a genuine desire to help people and care for others, but unfortunately sometimes psychiatric help can be even more harmful. There's just not enough research done on the negative side effects and they are not really mentioned by doctors. Psychiatry is still in its infancy and mental health patients are often Guinea pigs.

My psych nurse was one of the most caring people I've ever met and you could tell from the moment you met her that she cared and wanted to help. I genuinely love the woman but in the end she did more harm than good when it came to my partícula case.

Check out the movie psychiatry industry of death.
This fraud is going on for hundreds years. Still no blood no MRI scan which can prove any diagnosis. But we have hundred of billions industry which produces poison and in some cases like mine ruins life. A morphine or codeine, tramadol would threat my anxiety and depression at the time 10000 times more efficiently. In your case I am not doubting that the person cares but if she is unaware of side effects and as you said it made your situation worse it means she is stupid. Still it's better than malevolence .

Not stupid, just uninformed and unaware. You wouldn't blame a person who lived in a world where people can't see the color red that they can't see it. It's similar working in an industry like psychiatry where the long term effects of these drugs are downplayed.

I've heard it mentioned before, I'll check it out someday. If you're interested, I can add you to a Facebook group full of people who have experienced similar issues, including recovery stories. I believe future psychiatrists will be amazed at the prescription of such imprecise medications.
