Can you reply and say the difference between having Bipolar Disorder + Schizophrenia and having Schizoaffective Disorder? And how are those identified distinctively?

Given and also hidden diagnoses are ADHD, OCD and PTSD. Where I was previously diagnosed with Schizophrenia, OCD, Autism by several others and ChatGPT says Schizophrenia, BPD or C-PTSD, OCD and a mood disorder.

I don't feel hatred against religion today much and can't say whether the change of medicine (especially the nighttime ones) caused for this but I still recommend you to explain how a person with religious trauma behaves, what are the harms that they would feel than those who experienced other sorts of trauma and what to do. (Ex: - Consuming hate contents, Always having the dire urge express the internal hate, Being rejected and stigmatized from the society etc.)

I’ve already mastered negative thinking. Now I just need to learn how to use it to my advantage.

[@Vishfeast]

HELLLLLLLL YESSSSSSS! You can use it as a 3rd party aspect, before you enter a situation. You know the outcomes already, so you can play the scenario out prior. That's how you navigate!

[@LanellRobinson]

[@danielmercaderalcayne7329]

It's not who you come from, but who you learn from (I'm not sure if that helps, but... well 😅) Something I've been doing is to use my negative thoughts to motivate myself, for example: - I'm not good enough, everyone is better than me! - Then you have to grow up, upgrade yourself, and become a better "you" In other words, try to make those intrusive words into things (or positive motivation) that can use them on your advantage

[@Rafsanul_Haq_96]

I remember suffering from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and intrusive thoughts that caused severe anxiety and distress. I feared these thoughts would worsen my depression and worried, "What will people think if they know I have these thoughts inside my mind?" I relied heavily on external validation. One day, I decided to face the thoughts. At first, it was hard, but I reminded myself, "My thoughts can't stop me from being happy. Even if the worst thought comes true, I will do anything to make myself happy." I accepted those thoughts without fearing them and focused on my hobbies. Eventually, they stopped disturbing me, and I realized thoughts are natural-they come and go. My goal should be to accept them, not eliminate them, and prevent them from controlling my life. I also learned that real respect is self-respect. People will always judge me based on their own beliefs, shaped by their family upbringing, culture and personal experiences. It’s important to build confidence from within rather than depending on others. People don’t know my inner qualities, so I should focus on them and accept myself. That’s true self-validation.

I find reframing absolutely everything into a pause, calm, detach and then proceed to ask 'what is this teaching me?' makes a huge difference. Your lows start to exist less and less the more you face the emotions. You got this 💕

I love myself but my negative thought spiral really needs to be dealt with. This video was a need ❤❤

[@CardinalTreehouse]

Anyone else with ADHD use negative thoughts to motivate themselves? "If I don't get this done, I will get fired", "I have to show up at this party even though I am exhausted or people will hate me", etc. It works but being in fight or flight mode day after day for years is exhausting.

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

I've been diagnosed with this disorder too but I don't feel the same you're saying but rather I isolate myself. Dunno because the doctor also said that I've depressive symptoms, PTSD, OCD.

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

I think what you discuss was also mentioned in a previous psych2go video.

[@rizaaliyah]

@@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988 im with you on this one. I isolate myself a lot due to my inattentive adhd symptoms

[@toastiesburned9929]

The problem is that it isn't sustainable. It's exhausting to handle every problem this way, and often leads to eventual burn out, plus being in constant "fight or flight" causes brain damage. My advice would be to learn better coping mechanisms to relieve some of the mental burden before it gets to be too much (i.e. weekly planner, sticky notes, creating automatic habits)

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

@@toastiesburned9929 When I got so paranoid, angry and desperate or get emotionally distressed in other ways like constant feeling of being rejected by girls I used to watch horror movies (including the valentine horror) .I was used to consume extremely disturbing (mostly graphic) media day by day and eventually I went down the iceberg on KZbin discovering extremely disturbing black metal songs which have the visuals of such graphic violence but I couldn't stop doing so despite how disturbed I got telling myself that it was the only comfort till the day I used to consume Sodium Valproate. I don't know how it could immediately switch my mind giving me the realization of how worthless it is to find more and more of such content for enjoyment but somehow it worked and I still use it as I was prescribed that.

[@victorialaing4227]

Negative thoughts may push someone to try to do better, but it’s unhealthy if we try to be perfect and put too much pressure on ourselves to succeed and try to hard. This is what happened with Riley Anderson in Inside Out 2. Anxiety was feeding Riley negative thoughts and preparing her for all the things that could go wrong. This was unhealthy for Riley because she became too hard on herself and was trying to hard which ended up making her feel more stressed as she became obsessed with being a perfect hockey player

[@LauraJurek]

Negative thinking actually worked out in my favor,I spoke with many psychologists and they told me this also how to actually inspires you and controls your mind how to respond and help a situation

[@BrandyinIndy]

Remember to give yourself Compassion and Grace!! This is an acquired skill, which means the more you practice this skill, the better you will become at it overtime. It is a process. It doesn’t happen overnight. I suggest to follow up with journaling to help your brain process this concept. And journaling is a great way to reflect and measure your progress. ❤️

•I've been the last month trying to change myself and now I feel really better •I've gain self confidence, learnt to be happier anywhere and, I've also learnt to *redirect* my *negative thoughts* •For example: - I can't do this, it's too hard... - Then you have to find another way, there's always another way! - I'm not as good as everyone... - Then you'll have to grow up and become better! •It's not about being selfish or egocentric, it's using *your own flaws* on your *advantage* , doesnt matter if it's finding another way, motivating yourself or detecting possible failures 💪 •By doing this instead of focusing on the bad things, you'll feel *happier* and live *better* 😁 👋

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

Thank you very much for this video. Once I saw this video made 3 minutes ago. Yesterday night I started consuming 2 new drugs prescribed by my psychiatrist. I used to be someone who consumes extremely disturbing black metal music as a new habit because I used to be a lover of the dark side even though it mentally disturbs me, I never stopped watching them. Today, I started my day around 2:00 PM in the afternoon and felt kinda disgusted about this media and it combined with my previous distressing visuals about the evening. So, instead of watching them, I watched the positive songs that I've downloaded and it gave me a different feeling unlike ever before. So, today I engaged only in positive media and when I saw the title of this video. The mind instantly said that "Psych2go is now preparing you a video that could lead you back to the dark side. Now, watch them so you can bring back your pain." but instead what I did was I watched this thinking "They professional enough to explain about mental health, so let's go and see and then decide what to do", and the video itself proved the right thing to do proving the voices/inner mind giving misinformation. Thanks a lot for all your work!

Sometimes I am in a situation like negative thoughts that pull me down into more negative thoughts. Until words like "Why I been through this...", "Am I really deserve went through this horrible things...", which ends it all with "Should I end all this suffering...". But after a moment I am in that situation, there is like a self-defense feature appears that give me a motivation to cheer me up like "There still a lot of thing you not finish yet and a bunch of stuff you might love to do...", "How bout your family if you ends it like this? Haven't you think bout they're feeling if you do that...". And here I am, always at the edge of the abyss and pulled back by my own awareness.

[@Slymoneygang]

I feel like words cannot describe how you feel i’m going through the same thing where i just deal with it now i also feel like instead of thinking do something else and don’t even think do everything in your power not to think of anything the reason why you’re having those negative thoughts and then the defensive barrier thoughts is too protect you u don’t wanna give up but u do at the same time it means you are a fighter and when we have thoughts like this it means we care deeply then others so care deeply about you and make sure that those protective positive barrier thoughts stay because it’s saving your life if no one has told you they care i care keep living you’ll figure it out someday 💜

[@handyhacker11]

Doing all that already. Often it's not directed @ me. Which is why i notice it. Like i know i know that i am amazing and can do it and am gonna be a great person once i beat depression. Which is why i often recognize when i have these self-hate thoughts, making me think "Hey, hey, heyy!! What's going on?? Why is my mind eating at me right now?? This makes no sense!!!" Like i REALLY notice it, cause it's also annoying. Usually my problem is no energy & everything sucks. That's what i fight against. Whenever that goes @ me i'm like "Hey wtf?? I don't need those lies rn!" Usually only lasts 0.5-2 days Other people can easily shatter it atm as i have lots lf trouble deciding what's true or not, so i rather isolate myself from useless anti-opinions that don't help me forward. Which is also why i hate them when they spawn in me on their own & but are easier to fight only within me. Yeah depression is like another beast all together. To kill me, it literally needs to turn of neurons to make me UNABLE to love myself, which instantly goes back to normal once that part of me is no longer neuronally compromised 😂

For those who're suffering with OCD, I think it's better to avoid your source of trauma(maybe strict beliefs) and rely on medications having a hope and it really works even though you cannot totally dismiss these obsessions. Don't listen those who around always saying "You're not trying hard enough." It gave me relief only when I left my religion. This is from a deleted comment.

I am one of those negative people. People dont like to be around me and i apologize but it just keeps happening, ranting and complaining. Negative thinking does help me plan for mistakes in projects and bugs in code, much, much better imo than anyone else. However, when your advice is consistently turned down or ignored, or all your strengths and accomplishments seem fake, it can be extremely hard to see any positives at all. I just earned my masters, but i feel like i should have been failed multiple times because i had many late assignments despite extensions and i dont feel like i learned very much at all. These i feel are objective reasons why my "positives" aren't positive and why my imposter syndrome is not a delusion. Many cases like this in regard to academics, career, and relationships, that people dont realize but accept once i explain. The thing i learned most from this video is that it would help me be a better coder and spot bugs better, but i cant exactly put that im a negative thinker on my resume, and i dont have the positive thinking traits like finding new solutions that might work better.
