I had

And than I was Miss Diagnosed Twice with Psychosis which became a Diagnosis of Schizophrenia

Because I made 3 ON GOING Mistakes over 3 Years of a 5 Year Period of a Interpersonal Mental Health Down Spiral

I had a Bad Time at High School (and a Poor Father, than became Heart Broken and Irritable) (Plus being Un satisfied with my Life)

I have been placed on Anti Psyhcotic Meds for 7 Years + For a Mental Disorders I don't suffer from

I have contracted Pre Diabetes Type-2 and the Meds also made me Obese for a brief Period of my life, before that the Past Toxic Friends that I used to have blamed my eating habits for my Diabeties, When the Meds Induced It, as well as having my Father's Side of the Family with a Diabeties History

I Intensely dislike my Dad most of the the time

Plus having No Direction for Occupations OR Ideal Work Industries, Previous Payed Employment History, I don't even have my Driver's License and a comfortable Vehicle or even a Support Net Work of Friends, Never had Intimacy or a Girlfriend either and I am now 25 Years Old

Hi BabySteps,

Thankyou for your very honest post.

I could relate to some of it.
Sorry you've been through so much in your young life. I too have been through a lot but the beauty of life is you can take BabySteps towards a fruitful future.

I intensely disliked my dad growing up but I moved out and didn't have to have a relationship with him later on in life. We do have a relationship now ( personal circumstances change ppl) but I don't always like him.

If you do get your license you will have more freedom to do other things and you will be out more to perhaps pursue things that interest you and you will have the opportunity to meet others.

With work take anything you can get. You will learn skills and meet other people. You can always switch jobs later down the track as well. I didn't know what I wanted to do, it took time. Go with the flow and you will discover more and more about yourself as time goes on.

You sound like someone that can be proactive in life. If I can do it coming from where I have been you can too, bit by bit. I hope I've helped you in some way.

🙂

I'm basically struggling to Grow Up

I don't know how to deal with a Father, who doesn't regard the need for Further Education, and for having a Driver's Licence and a Car, and how do you deal with a Mother who makes you feel beneath a Mental Illness you don't have. Both my Parents Impose Pessimism with my Abilities rather than believe and tell me to try with optimism

I live In Australia, where we get Government Reduced Costly Education and Payed Diploma's by Christian Charity Organizations, and yet my Parent's don't encourage, Even considering how I have DSP and Concession

I'm on my own with my Growth, and my Mother and my Psychiatrist are treating me as a Schizophrenic when I'm not actually not Schizophrenic. (I don't think anyone can relate to this)

Not to mention how my Father doesn't respect our Boundaries, and when I try to Incorporate them, or question his Authoritarian he threatens me to leave Home

It Is excruciatingly hard being constantly controlled In a sense by my Father, and by the Power of my Psychiatrist regarding his Views and my Compulsory Treatment Plan

It's even more disgusting when your Parent's treat you as Disabled and don't believe In you

And when I'm 25 without Skills and much Experience... and Independence

I was wanting to get my Driver's Licence, I've only been able to Pay for Driving Lessons, because of receiving Disability Support Pension

I was wanting to pay for a Cert IV In Allied Health with my Concession

And I was hoping to continue Volunteering at Salvo's, because my Brother Informed me sometimes they Pay for Volunteer's Diploma's

I also was wanting to Work Casually maybe as a Clerk at Woolworths or Coles, or Volunteer In some Nutritonal Pathway too

I know your pain. I was put on an atypical antipsychotic for years and rapidly gained weight to the point it caused stretch marks and eventually started to get sleep apnea. Got off it last year and lost 20+ kgs in 3 months. It also fries your brain.

Hi BabySteps,

I do relate to being misdiagnosed and force treated with antipsychotics. You are not alone when it comes to being treated like you have a mental illness when you don't. It's shocking and a lot of us are on the path you are on. You really aren't alone. ozm8ey went through the medication as well. There are heaps of us.

You are an adult. Therefore you do not need your parents permission or authority to be an adult. If there are things you want to do to gain independence in life do them, it's your legal right. You sound like you really want to get out there and achieve some things.

Your parents might not encourage but what does that matter? You don't need their approval anymore. You are an adult and can stand on your own two feet and get things done right, or can't you?

I was mis diagnosed with Schizophrenia at 20 years old, I am "NOW" just 27, I have received pre diabetes type-2 when I was 22, and my gallbladder removed at 25, I am now on involuntary treatment and a community order, I also was involuntarily compelled by my GP to see the CATT Team, and than also admitted involuntarily to hospital, I also have a different psychiatrist trying to theories I might have autism, I don't have any inability to communicate I am ambiverted, I can spell, I can look people in the eye, I understand humour and sarcasm, and I have natural levels of sexuality or interest, I am triggered with my health and compliance, I am becoming a double mis diagnsosis, and Schizophrenia is already 25% only just 1 in 4 so that's rare already
