I think a lot of people have given Maggie excellent advice and I hope, wholeheartedly, that she acts on this advice.

 

Maggie, you are describing very classical auditory hallucinations and delusions. What you were saying about the big dipper is usually called a delusion of reference, and your writing also shows some tangential or formal thought disorder. These are all very typical signs of schizophrenia.

 

You *absolutely* need to be on an anti-psychotic medication. If Risperdal did not help then you should tell the practitioner who prescribed it why and how it did not help. Let a psychiatrist help you find a treatment that will help with these symptoms.

 

I think we've all become very fond of you and concerned for your well being. Please...

I disagree with the general assessment given here.

 

Maggie has seen numerous doctors/counselors, attempted many medications, and still the symptoms persist.

 

May I suggest Hypochondriasis.

Yeah, may I also suggest that getting yourself admitted, might not be the greatest idea either; you could end up doing the thorazine shuffle.

 

Maybe I wasn't crazy enough for that (and I was able to flush the pills they gave me); I was a smart-***.

I'm unaware of symptoms of hearing voices associated with hypochondriasis. So no, I don't think that's the underlying issue.

numerous? no several counselors who have the inability to diagnose a psychiatric disorder and a psychiatrist whose education i question after telling her that it is a spiritual problem

Many? 2 antipsychotics and 1 anticonvulsant is not many

May I suggest Hypochondriasis

no, this doesn't fit the current set of symptoms

I have been in conversations with Maggie and am aware more of what is going on , than what you have read in this thread

DISCLAIMER: While Hypography is full of intelligent individuals with lots of experience with psychological issues, it's no substitute for a certified and legitimate psychologist. Please consider this while reading posts in this thread.

Really I thought we all had advanced degrees In Everything from Google ? :smilingsun:

Personally, I check the snail- mail everyday for my pretty Tudor Bonnet, and wizard's robes.

I really NEED that Bonnet.

 

Has Maggie slipped off the radar?

Can the PMers contact her? She is obviously very scared and worried about this.

 

On voices and some resources

Hearing Voices - the invisible intruders

 

|Download Audio - 22072006

 

Around 10 per cent of the population hear voices that aren't there. Some people can live harmoniously with them, but for those whose voices are associated with a psychiatric illness, they can be frightening and menacingly real. We discuss the latest research on how auditory hallucinations occur in the brain, what it's like to live with voices in your head—and the healing power of the international Hearing Voices Network.

Thorazine is a seriously disabling pharmaceutical - I've seen what it does to people, I have direct experience, having been in such an institution.

There isn't anything funny about what it does, nor about serious psychiatric illness.

 

Nor is there anything funny about the essentially arcane and medieval way these people were treated back when I witnessed it first-hand. I was fortunate I suppose, since the head orderly was also an old schoolmate.

May I suggest you take your homilies elsewhere.

So you are saying this was not humour? okay, then just an inappropriate comment then i am to assume

Advising someone against hospitalization and telling them it is okay to toss your meds, is not helpful

May i suggest you learn some manners
