I'm 28 y/o Male, Long time ago I heard about Masking, and ive always thought that perfectly described what I felt was wrong but I now think this is the true issue and masking is a coping mechanism ive learned to do to interact with people, it feels like I'm playing a character that i craft at the time and embody for the duration we are together and will put on at the drop of a hat, its completely un-conscience now. I remember as a child being super open and would talk with anyone even a complete stranger, never cared about people seeing what I'm really feeling. Then early in my school years in primary school I was bullied quite persistently by a kid I have since learned had his own issues at home, as a response I leaned to not let others know what i felt and i would let out what I felt was safe. It worked to stop the bullying but ive had I would say one truly close relationship and I felt like I was completely open and didn't hide my emotions, it was probably one of the best times of my life, but when it failed it was catastrophic. ive since had several very obvious opportunities to have close relationships and even though I recognize it, its like I am completely disinterested, but the reality could not be further from the truth.
RUclips is deleting all my comments simply discussing psychology... unbelievable. Anyway, you have a patient who is not responding to typical meds and is increasingly USING crazy powerful meds to just get the most basic stuff in life done (which I cant properly allude to here due to not-so-smart censoring and perhaps an even less-smart lack of creativity of expression on my part)... just as a mere tool to function a bit each week and it's getting very bad now that the youthful "h1ghs" are running out (as you become familiar with patterns, you experience less of the benefits of most medicinal tools and more of the downsides - less a sense of adventure pulls you along as familiarity grows... it's a decreasing-marginal-utility thing as you recognize the toxic nature of many things, if that vagueness makes any sense). Every second to me feels greatly pained and like absolute overwhelm. I need to be in an old folks home passing a beach ball around and watching Andy Griffith all day. That's how disabled I feel. I used to be obsessive about showering and self-care, extremely similar to the character in American Psycho. 4 hour long routine every morning. But I have gone to trying to patch together very small snippets of functional time to create the illusion of normal self-reliance. I'm of course a minimalist now- gave away 6/7th of my clients and make about 14k a year, etc. I cut back EVERYWHERE to nill to survive. Used to think it was a discipline prob for the longest until I forced a masochistic, strict behavioral training period of a couple years ("you WILL make yourself do this and act like you LIKE it and maintain a spirit of pure love and service towards everyone!") that honestly just regularly drained my reserves and made me even less functional. That path was a mistake as it took me to the end of my rope quicker, I think. Everything is now a survival thing. All interaction and action in life is utterly forced. I remember what used to feel good and can act. But I find myself striving so hard to just maintain being upright and sane that I will seem like a machine... "HAH HAH HAH" "whoa they had to know that one was me feeling nothing that time... gotta makes sure you pay attention to faking that better. - remember to act like you feel calm, even though your inside is pure screaming fire of discomfort. Don't want to freak ppl out." It's like I keep looking for a way out... VERY like being in severe physical discomfort. It's kinda' funny cuz I've told one or two ppl the above regarding others and they go, "Yeah I have social anxiety too." I go, "No, I'm not feeling that AT ALL. It's just pure inner discomfort that has almost nothing to do with others." (I mean, yes, others are FACTORS that compound irritation. But I'm largely feel 100% confident handling ppl. If anything, just the fact that they aren't interesting or providig mer with something that hedonistically feels good is the biggest thing that makes me less comfortable inside because I have to put up with being even more normal, which is harder/more stressful for me... At least with the freaks I can decompress and release and be honest, sncerely letting go of a few laughs when they mention how horrible life is for them too in various ways - such candor makes me feel nearer to them.) BUT, I do consciously admonish myself daily: "You could be without legs or over in Africa starving or in literal physical pain all day! How DARE you feel like you can't function! YOU GIVE BACK NOW AND YOU HELP OTHERS!" Still.. nothing inside but a pure rollercoaster of rampant distress and overwhelm. Incidentally, I feel a change from my young self... I feel less intelligent. I had a 139 iq at 17. Now, I SERIOUSLY doubt I have 110 in me... but mostly that's due to the ADHD feeling of being on fire inside. If i had my centered self, I could focus again. tl;dr i know - no need to mention i thought it may be fun to read for somepone out there - seeing such candor would be for me (fun).
Thing is, a long period of anhedonia breeds strong avolition. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be motivated and excited about, because nothing gives me anything.
Your descreption about this mode is briliand. I love you!
SNRI duloxetine/cymbalta is giving me more energy but doesn't let me sleep properly and has made me more anxious, and hasn't helped my depression, pain, or ADHD.
Just want to say that I'm a much better schema psychologist because of this page. Thanks so much.
Please stop using "Karen" the way you just did. It's so very hurtful. As you must know, names matter. Quite ironic (or betteryet, quite messed up), you'd use that example in a punitive parent video

This is the long meds that helps me for sleeping
How does schema therapy work with SS Credit Score System executions? I have two options-blaming it on the victim , promoting gaslighting and deny its existence or acknowledge it exists and help the person resort on Christ to defeat this NeoBolshevik system. Being narrowed minded and excluding Christianity when we deal with an apocalyptic Beast is like shooting yourself in the foot
I take 50mg of Seroquel for sleep and I've always felt wary about it... I think I'm going to taper to 25mg and then get off it
God she is annoying.
I would argue that this is too much of a generalization, trauma may not always be the sole cause. It frustrates me how people try to apply this. Its wishful thinking
This is one of the best videos ive watched! Thank you for this❤
Venlafaxine increased my blood pressure, I never had any problems with that, I feel pain on the side of my head just above the eye, a little dizziness, chills, hot body, extremely strange and abnormal dreams, tremors, the cardiologist confirmed to me that it is because of the medicine, which is strong, can even speed up the heart. I informed the psychiatrist and I'm going to suspend it, he asked me to reduce it from 150mg to 75mg for 1 month, and then suspend it
Check with your doc about what to do if you get withdrawal symptoms. Headaches, vagueness, chest symptoms etc. Some people need to go more gradually than others (eg by 37.5mg every month or so). Mostly it’s not a problem, but it certainly can be.
I've got bipolar disorder. Is this safe for me? (i.e., will it trigger a depression or mania? )
In time these “medicines” will be held in the same esteem as OxyContin or thalidomide the only reason people praise them is because they haven’t been on them long enough or they are addicted to the sedative effects. Truly one of the worst curses ever put on humanity.
Hello That was literally awsome. I'm a psychologist from Iran and this video was the most understandable vide i've ever watched about Schema Therapy. I appreciate it.👏
Another question my son has autism and his doctor put him on seraquil (sp?) in the morning and at night, I am not happy about this AT all. He also takes celexa which I think was the reason he was not sleeping all along. He was put on these meds by his old care giver,without my permission, he’s been on Celexa for years, and now on seraquil. He is 36 years old and can’t communicate how he feels on these awful meds. The care giver he has now says he does sleep good now even snores he never snored before seraquil. I’m so mad and upset. I think the seraquil has put him in to deep of a sleep if that makes sense especially if he’s snoring.
What do you suggest for people with diabetes that can’t gain weight ?
What does indifferent mean?
Indifferent means you don’t care about something.
You all are an awesome team. Bravo! thank you.
As a veteran I really appreciate this
Brilliant. Now I get how these things actually work! Thanks and I like that you challenge the pharma BS narrative
It is strange to hear you say that the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t really like you, as you basically repeat their unproven theories. There is no scientifical proof for any of this to be true. Research is being done by these pharmaceutical companies themselves and they mainly publish the positive results that help them sell their products. The basis for millions of people using antidepressants is biased statistics. Chances are a lot of them would be better off using a placebo.
How are Escitalopram and Fluvoxamine different, and what makes fluvoxamine so special? In most countries escitalopram is first line treatment for GAD. Also, if I may ask which SSRI’s don’t lead to weight gain.
Fluvoxamine interacts with the sigma receptor. Escitalopram does not. Fluvoxamine has a shorter half life. Weight gain and antidepressants: Emotional eating, indifference and effects on appetite. ruclips.net/video/HhGlYf7hOdU/видео.html
In depression both are often the case: no energy, no motivation. Energy is everything. If you have no energy, because your energy ‘leeks’ away (due to trauma, for example), everything gets messed up.
Thank you for the comment. We explore how energy (arousal and motivation) are impacted by various medications in our new talk: Medications and mood. THE 5 DIALS ruclips.net/video/rOaGEk9E3MQ/видео.html

Thanks to this i got PSSD from SSRI's my life permanently destroyed by anhedonia blank mind i can't enjoy every aspect of life at all and also there no cure for this
excellent video very well presented well i started on on sertraline 25mg on 27/2 this year i wanted agomelatine he wouldn't give it me. i had a watched senil rege video on it; 25mg they were too much for me so i broke them in half and that was too much, so i through the towel in went onto cal mag zn and 3 different amino acids at night and occassionaly B1 from aura soma for exciteabilty and that is all from mother nature which does not offer side affects. well you have australian living australian bush flower and essences from australia and the sun is out every day i thought people in australia are very reslient. sadly is this country you have the lowest of the low in the NHS. i think sertraline is valid if you are young and have a life a puspose and meaning which sadly i don't. with buristis ME my mood none of these which actually help me. the sertraline did act lke a PTSD for me but mother nature has come up with white spider lily an oriental womens essence and there nothing can beat that
I have a question about changing up meds from SSRI to SNRI for a day. That is a really small dose, especially since it also takes a few weeks to accumulate to start working, could you explain that a bit?
We mentioned that I sometimes add reboxetine (an NRI), not an SNRI. I avoid SNRIs (generally). “Takes a few weeks” is a flawed idea. The pharmacology happens fast, sensitivity reduction and tearfulness can improve on the first day but it takes time for the accumulated negative emotional state to resolve. It takes time for others to stop walking on eggshells. It takes time for things to feel less bleak. SSRIs make you feel less sensitive, they don’t make you feel happy. They reduce incoming negative emotion. Negative emotion load takes time to resolve. People typically feel the effect of NRI on mental energy within an hour. But not every feels that to be a benefit (e.g the anxious/distressed may feel worse)
@@thePSYCHcollective I see! It makes sense. Thanks foe the reply.
It's 2 years later and in another country. I've got anhedonia. It's not about activating motion or activity. I'm preparing to pack for a 14 day cruise, something I've always loved. Travel is my jet fuel. It's just not the same. Right now just getting to the ship let alone packing seems like the worst torture. I'd just rather be in my bed. Big question is it possible for an SSRI to create or encourage anhedonia???
If a medication is making you feel emotionally numb, then it might be contributing to anhedonia.
@@thePSYCHcollective Thank you for responding, so very 2 years after your video. I've just never felt like this, or had to deal with anything like this in my life. I was given a prescription for Citalopram by my GP when my Dad died. I'm still not over his passing. I just think that this psych med prescribed from an LPN has messed with me. I don't know? I'm just questioning everything and finding no answers. Thanks for the reply. ⚓
The solution the grief is crying and talking and writing. E.g. letters to your father. And more crying. Numbing the emotions with meds/substances etc is an alternative to facing the emotions. But then one can be stuck with unresolved grief AND chronic numbness. we explore how meds work in a video coming out tomorrow for our new book, The Depression Solution. www.thepsychcollective.com/resources/The-Depression-Solution-eBook-p697138761

I’m an emotional eater off lexapro. I’m less emotional and even more of an eater on lexapro. I’m trying to come off because of my increased appetite and weight gain. I’d rather be depressed and smaller than depressed and huge as a house.
More than a year ago, I made a very good friend, and she let me know that some of my feelings and behaviors could be a result of trauma. I met the therapist she recommended and the doctor wanted to work with me using Schema Therapy. I found your playlist and I find it to be comprehensive, insightful, and very, very well-presented. I'm thinking that I want to come back to it more than once to absorb the information. I thought I'd thank you for these lectures, they are informative and awesome!
I used a lot of different antidepressants. Effexor was ( by a country mile ) the hardest to taper off. Withdrawal was brutal for me personally. I swear I haven’t felt the same ever since, even though I stopped a year ago.
Some people have a hellish time coming of it
