Prozac
Prozac Testimonials - Suicide, Violence
Can an adult be diagnosed with slight autism or a social disorder? (LONG)? I almost feel a little ashamed asking this , but anyway:My boyfriend of 4 years has been in and out of institutions, therapists offices, and alternative schools basically since diapers. He's been on every medication, from Prozac and Lexapro, to heavier tranquilizers like Lithium, and even Thorazine. According to his family, and his medical records he shared with me, he has had erratic behavior since childhood. He's been through so many therapists and doctors, and has been diagnosed and mis-diagnosed countless times.He has extreme social difficulties, and seems confused on how to interact with people. He doesn't have much of a social life, and changes friends frequently, as most people are driven away by his erratic behavior, and extreme anger, which I will get to.Around people, he behaves oddly. He seems like he"s in his own world, and only talks about or does things he is interested in. At a quiet party, he'll drink all alcohol available, and beg for more. He interrupts people and talks about things unrelated, or tells outrages stories in which he is heroic or admired in some way. It's difficult to explain. When he does this, people don't seem frustrated, more just bewildered and a little nervous. If we're out, he seems intensely uncomfortable in crowds, but will do things like approach one person or a couple, and attempt to start a conversation about something very random, as though he were thinking about it, and got a sudden urge to discuss it.He is 20, and has almost child-like qualities. He sleeps with a certain pillow every night, and it has to touch his face in a certain way. When he experiences extreme emotions, such as intense happiness or fear, he tries to crawl in my lap and act like a baby. He speaks in a baby voice, and his speech becomes nearly incomprehensible babble.He seems to have very little personal identity, and adapts the identity of favorite characters from books or movies, which can sometimes even seem to have startling outcomes, if he is interested in a character with a dark or violent persona. Currently, he has been religiously reading Jack Kerouac novels and has developed a Midwestern accent, and disappears for days, sometimes weeks, to go camping and get high. He recently hitchhiked to Harlem, where he ended up being attacked and robbed. He seems confused as to why it happened, and at a loss for what identity to assume next.His temper has gotten him into trouble on multiple occasions. He is very easily frustrated, and when it happens, it's hard for him to calm down. He hits and punches, and I have been choked on one occasion. After that, he began crying uncontrollably and threatening to kill himself. His family had to call an ambulance, and he spent the night, once again, in a hospital. Aside from that, he has difficulty expressing himself. He stutters badly when angered, and stomps his feet or punches the wall. He has ripped doors off of cabinets, kicked laundry hampers into the fireplace, and flipped over beds and tables. This is frightening, as he is very strong.He is unemployed, and has never been employed longer than 90 days at a job. He has had two jobs his whole life. He does not have a drivers license, was never able to finish school and get a high school diploma, and does not own any property, have a bank account, or very many prospects.He is extremely bright and a very talented artist, although he has never received any formal training. At his best he is extremely compassionate and in-tune with the feelings of those around him. He is highly sensitive to the moods of his loved ones. He is playful and clownish, and very sweet.He is fearful and mistrustful of therapists and medication. I feel angry, because he never feels happy or content, or even like he is making progress. I feel as though nobody is helping him, and nothing is getting better. He has very little ambition, and generally low self-esteem. I have my own private opinions on what "could be" that isn't being diagnosed, but I'm not a doctor. Any suggestions?
Prozac
Sounds liek ti could be Aspergers... however, if he refuses to go to a doctor or therapist there is nothing you can do.... there is no medication specifically for aspergers but they could treat the depression (which might have a beneficial effect on his anger) and therapy can teach him coping techniques and some social skills but if he won't go then there is no hope.... He has to want to get help.
I feel like I'm gonna start cutting again? I stopped cutting after being hospitalized a few weeks ago, for trying to commit suicide. (50 prozac pills.) Well, I'm getting very terrible urges to start again. The only things stopping me is the scars on my wrist & I won't be able to wear short sleeve shirts or tank tops anymore. My suicide thoughts are so powerful also. And my mom wants to send me to a group home.. Can she legally do that just for suicide thoughts/suicide attempt/self harm? Or would I just be hospitalized again. I want to move in with my friend, but I can't legally since I'm only 15 years old. I'm slowly falling apart again and I'm not sure what to do. What's it like at a group home?
The other poster was mean, just ignore it. You are having trouble with your emotions being out of control. There are therapy groups and individual therapy called Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Please google it and get yourself into it. It can save you if you work at it as hard as you have been so eager to kill yourself every time you have an emotion you don't like.Please trust me here and google it....Go get a good shrink that will not let you do this to yourself!
