Mental Illness diagnosis's

Well, i just got re-evaluated for my mental illness after developing stress-induced tics and seizures.

i was told i have PNES or NES, which causes me to have (usually) 30 second long seizures where i physically cant talk or think properly while it happens. and since i don’t loose consciousness, i just stare, while people watch me. Got told by the school nurse i was imitating a panic attack, and now i have a permanent health warning on my school ID.

Last summer, i was diagnosed with PTSD after years of witnessing domestic violence, where it was almost a murder case. my doctor said it was most likely caused by that.

and the cherry-on-top is my Bipolar disorder and bipolar depression. i’m tired of the manic spree’s and reckless behavior, and then the sudden shift to “i dont want to live anymore”.

my meds make it worse, they make me dizzy, nauseous, and caused TD. now i look stupid when i randomly jerk my arm or make a face.

i don’t really know what to do at this point, all of this hospital and medical stuff really makes me doubt myself. i just need to see how others think of it, because i cant talk about the things i go through with people i know in real life.

I don’t really know you Mr Max, but from the forum my impression of you is that you’re a sweet kid. That’s the age difference talking, not anything else. I also know you’ve had it worse than most of us, if not all of us. Never mind. God can work through anything. It’s not through our minds that the Lord saves us or reaches out to us. It’s through our spirit. The mind is involved because with the mind we make sense of His grace, but it’s our heart that receives Him and the heart that believes.

I believe you are a Christian. You are a child of the Almighty and your future is secure. Keep on keeping on and trust in the Lord in spite of these difficulties. You are a blessing in this forum.
