Dear Med,
>I'm 20, about to be 21....
Me too - birthday [xxx].
>Here's the deal: I post regularly on the medication psychobabble board........
Me too - we're both very interested in medication.
>My parents hate it that I'm gay.......
My parents are ok with it. My mum cried when I told her I was gay but she's been fine ever since.
>I have no drive or ambition....
I find that difficult to believe. You're posts are always very interesting, I read them all.
>Problem is, psychiatric meds arent fixing the problem...
I know what you mean. SSRIs help my OCD but they make me so apathetic it's often difficult to function.
>I'd get so sick and angry and frustrated that I'd just start hitting stuff because I couldnt take it anymore.
I sometimes used to throw things when I was depressed. I needed a release for the anger.
>Then, I'm too sensitive to criticism.
Me too. I get hurt very easily. Even criticism of one of my p-babble posts can be too much to deal with. I once criticised one of your posts, I'm sorry.
>I fail at what I do (like school).......
I dropped out of school once and then went back. I almost dropped out a second time but I pulled through. I've got a lot of exams in August, all the ones I didn't sit in January.
>.........I'm so scared I'm going to end up alone and unfulfilled, living a life of "quiet desperation"......
I don't think you will. You help a lot of people here on babble. If you're as kind and helpful in real life as you are on babble, you're sure to find a partner/friends - people are bound to like you.
>even though I suck at my own life, I seem to always be able to help other people with their lives.........
Hehe, my life story!
Gosh, we've got more in common than I thought :-)
Kind regards
~Ed
