cant hold my face properly, and often when i look in the mirror my face its unnaturally hideous. i can concentrate and resist stretching it but it doesnt help at all. cant talk to people sensibly. i dont know what to askk since ive been on everything. i was supposed to get info for my doctor on pramipexole cant get that printed and done. but that wouildnt neccessarily help anyway. it really feels like my brain is being put this way so i will always lose. no one ever gets to understand and not me. this is not making sense. nothing i do helps. the person i have i know is not worth saving but i keep trying and this keeps going on forever. (i have very disgusting problems, and they are not anything that will go away likely unless the person is changed.) this is still not making sense, i cant even correct my own mistakes properly. i cant tell if i care or what i feel, i was crying a while ago, but i couldnt tell the person on the distress centre whether i was really upset or that was happening on its own. i had a lot to do today. i never do anything i cant want to do anything. all i do is eat and lurk around people. im not in any danger of killing myself, but the best thing for me would be to see myself end. im going to post this and try to post again to make sense. but would there be any medication that would make me like a functional person in the world? or at least something a spect scan (?) or an eeg or something could tell me what is wrong?? please dont worry about my safety if you do, there is a worker in my building that is seeing me every little bit but theres nothing he can do to help me it always seem and theres nothing i can do to talk about anything (What is that "***"-thymia word that means state of not being able to describe ones feeling) but im completeley safe. just please if any one has any advice at all or what i should do please share, thanks!!!

Why do you have to give the pdoc information on a medication or did I read the post incorrectly, Fondly, Phillipa

I feel for you!
Sometimes I feel like I am trapped within my own self. My brain won't work and walking, talking-anything is nearly impossible. I just feel mentally slow, sluggish and all my thought process are just hopelessly tangled.I feel like corvette cleverly entrapped within a yugo.
What does one do?
The best we can, I guess.
Hoping and praying for the best for all of us.
Kaye

i am on despramine hcl 300mg and have been for at least a year. i have been so many others (ADs and stimulants), and my psychiatrist and gp are always reluctant to try new meds with me. i don't think they believe there is a problem other than my just being a lazy *sshole with no friends hobbies or anything interesting worth trying to save, and really i have no way to prove them wrong.
i dont know what to say now. it doesn't appear anything is going to get any better realistically, in 15 days i will be a 21 year old unemployed high school dropout that never matured past age 14. the only thing i have left to hope for is hoping i somehow finally get off my *ss and kill myself. thank you for responding anyways. really. <3

What you are describng really resonates with me. when I have been in this condition I am unable to take any action. I can't even think properly to know what to do.
I was talking to my husband about your post and I told him that when I am like this what I need is for someone to physically take me by the hand, find me a Dr., make the appt and drive me there. This is so different from my normal self that no one knows to do it this way for me and I am unable to ask. I am so cognitively slowed down that I feel like I am encased in wet cement-like I am retarded truly.
Is there anyone that you can ask to help you? I know that you don't know what you need and that makes it hard but just someone that you can say "I need help. Find me a Dr,, make me an appt. and get me there." If you can get that far with a little luck you will get a Dr. that cares and that would be a huge improvement in your situation. Your p-doc is lazy himself. If he cannot see that your functioning is almost nil then he is an idiot!!
If nothing else just open the phone book and call a mental health center and tell them you need to sse someone and ask them to direct you. If you get a dummy on the phone call the next number.
I want you to know that while I do not know what exactly causes this state in people I do know that it is physical/neurological AFFLICTION! It is not your fault and it can be helped. You are not the only person to have this problem.
I still live in terror that this will happen to me again to such a degree that the fear of it is probably my biggest problem I have right now.
Hang in there. This problem can be solved-you will feel alive again. Just get to a new Dr. and take it from there.
Please let us know how you are doing.
I feel for you.
Kaye
