Same, I've always struggled with sleep, but then severe depression and anxiety made me self sabotage myself until I wasn't sleeping for 24, 36, sometimes 48 hours at a time, which only made the depression and anxiety worse, a terrible cycle. I honestly don't remember much of those 2 years before I went to get help, memory issues caused by sleep deprivation and all that. But after getting help I still have a lot of trouble with sleep but my mood and everything else is so much better in comparison. The days where I get enough sleep to not develop that sleep deprivation headache are some of the best days lol

I really appreciate that Dr. Bender makes a point of frequently highlighting that mental illness does not necessitate violence. Especially right now, the way mental illness is villainized in our society is greatly driven by media presentation of MI. It’s just really nice to have this point reiterated so clearly and unambiguously.

How can a person that doesn't fully comprehend reality not be dangerous? Mental health patient can just as easily pick a hammer thinking it's a flower and bash you on the head thinking he is giving you something nice. There is no violence or ill intent, just a person that does not understand what they are holding and how it can affect (damage) other things (people). It's unpredictability and lack of self control/awareness that makes mentally ill people dangerous (same goes for drug users, since they can have the same problem during a bad trip). I do not wish ill on anyone and I hope that any and all people with mental illness will be cured, but I don't believe that a mentally ill patients are not more dangerous than regular people.

Because of the sleep deprivation comes the depression, and with the depression, comes the anxiety.

They are just purposeless consumers and slaves to the system. I think Fight Club is about creating purpose, creating real men and beheading the system that has emotionally castrated them. It’s certainly about toxic masculinity, with a character hallucinating his perfect male alter-ego (Tyler Durden) to finally achieve dominance, but ultimately ending up hand in hand with his female alter ego (Martha). It’s definitely a movie you could analyze for ages.

Gotta say, the distortion in the mirror could also be caused in real life if someone just focuses intensely in their own stare in a mirror -- I forgot the specifics, but apparently it's near-impossible for your eyes to truly focus correctly while staring in a mirror, it needs a spot it can focus on so that your vision doesn't become corrupted (same reason why when you look your vision droops down slowly-- your eye has to have some motion or else it can't perceive light, you'd be blind. Back when I was 19 I had this tall mirror in my apartment and one day I decided to sit and stare into it and not blink at all. y'know that scene in that hannibal tv show where that dude sees himself in a mirror and it's all twisted and scary? It was kinda like that. I vividly remember my left eye that was now on my neck, and my lips in the reflection suddenly moving on their own despite me not saying anything, and then I saw my eyes blinked and I freaked out and snapped out of it. No wonder there's so many myths and superstitions about mirrors.

Last year I was working three jobs for a while, and for a few weeks I worked 7 days a week for more than 15 hours a day. at one point I felt like I was so sleep deprived I was feeling weird. I saw things without necessarily seeing it, it was more in a sense of feeling something was there. a really trippy feeling that i dont wanna experience again

My friend has DID and they speak differently sometimes depending on which “personality” is present. They have a little girl personality and act whiney and needy and talk in a little kid voice. It’s very jarring at first when you realize what’s happening, but they never scare me. I just react differently depending on which identity I’m speaking to. I’m more soft and caring and parental when this ID is present. My cousin also has schizophrenia and I’ve seen her in her psychotic episodes. It is scary, but not because they’re threatening or violent. You just want to make sure they’re ok because they’re in a vulnerable place mentally.

Given how rare DID, I am always surprised by the number of people who show up online claiming to have it - or know someone who does. Some portion of those claims must be people who are lying or who have factitious disorder. (People faking DID is something that has shown up a lot ever since it was first described and diagnosed. There are some famous cases.) Schizophrenia, on the other hand, is depressingly common. It can be so dehabilitating and the treatments are only just now starting to get better. I've always hated how people stigmatize schizophrenia. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

With the sleep deprivation: I used to stay up for 30-72 hours at a time. There was a point once when I was writing a paper, and even though my hands were moving and I was writing just fine, I was hallucinating waves and scenes on the paper and hearing voices.

I have been mentally ill a long time but it was an intense bout of chronic insomnia where I didn’t sleep for a week and then was hospitalized that got me a proper diagnose. I have DID and CPTSD

I’ve had auditory hallucinations due to severe postpartum sleep deprivation. It really is torture. The hallucinations were sudden and quick. Like the sound of a rushing train, etc. I was fully aware of what it was and why it was happening. Finally getting some sleep took care of it.

The Dr made the biggest and most important statement of being a Psychiatrist which is being compassionate and empathetic towards patients and see them with endearing respect. He understood everything about life.

Matt Smith's really took his doctor who role very seriously by getting a degree

I've watched Fight Club with new appreciation recently- during my pregnancy I had terrible insomnia. At its worst I went 8 days without a single minute of sleep (unless you add up the microsleeps, I guess) and it was genuine torture. I had visual hallucinations, including stuff very similar to the mirror scene in Black Swan where I perceived my reflection moving with a lag and barely recognized my own face. The auditory hallucinations were the v worst though. It sounded like unspecific but very angry yelling and growling right behind me. I was constantly bursting into tears, curling into the fetal position, and begging for relief. Wouldn't wish that level of sleep deprivation on my worst enemy.

They are, if anything, the most desensitized.

"In some countries, sleep deprivation is seen as a form of torture" Insomniacs: bring it on

As someone living with chronic pain I can attest it can and most likely will affect cognitive and emotional skill in long term, there was a period I was set in my mind that ending my own life was the only solution. I methodically started planning the different methods that was least damaging to my body as I still wanted to donate my organs etc, I informed my loved ones and family in a very emotionally deprived and logical way of my decision to give them time to say their good byes etc. Looking back at it I realize how frightening it really was, at that time I already felt dead inside and it was only my physical flesh remaining, I've gone to therapy and rehabilitation and found a way of not living with my pain yet but at least surviving. At that time I wasn't medicated so I could hardly sleep because of nerve pain, my view of the world became distorted due to me alienating myself because I believed no one wanted to help me. Please know how devestating it can be, but with the right medications and physical therapy life can seem livable again, mental health issues doesn't just happen to certain people it can and most likely will happen to many in different variations and caused by different things.

I love the videos with him. He’s so intelligent, and you can also see that he empathizes with mental health patients. Additionally, I imagine he is what Superman would look like.

It feels very calming how a professional psychiatrist doesn't just rule this or that, but explain that there's almost unlimited reasons for what's happening and that there's just not enough information, that it would require further inspection to decide on anything. I'd feel good being diagnosed and helped by him for sure. Just with this review he makes it feel very safe and not the least bit judgmental. Other than the fact that he reminds me of the scarecrow.

@Perregrine Perch there are plenty of people in the psych field who don’t even believe dissociative identity disorder really exists. It could be an artifact of misinterpretation of episodes of dissociation, which we’ve all experienced to some degree. One thing that becomes very clear is that the DSM-5 criteria for almost every psychiatric diagnosis leaves more to be desired and are imperfect due to their amount of overlap

"grabbing a grenade launcher is a sign of aggression" I don't know why I found that so funny, but I'm laughing

Him talking about sleep deprivation was wiiiild for me because I was so sleep deprived due to my school schedule and there were so many symptoms he brought up that I didn’t think would be linked to that! I’ve really got to improve my sleep next semester😅

I've been in therapy for 2 years now and I have the feeling I've spent at least half of it talking about my sleep quality and trying to find out solutions and balance to it with my psychiatrist. And I can see now that most people I know are dealing with sleeping issues.

Problem with the Shutter Island analysis, is that when he goes into a dissociative state makes knowing that he was aware of his actions at the time of killing his wife impossible to know. Its not like there is a witness to what happened, and if his state is completely unaware of the crime there is no way to come to that conclusion.

@@TheHeadincharge They're referring to the idea that in character they might not be able to reasonably come to the conclusion that he was aware. If he really did have a complete dissociative episode and was just not *there* afterward when the police arrived, it's totally understandable that they (The Police and courts) might come to that conclusion that he wasn't aware because, as far as they could tell, he wasn't. It wouldn't have been until he came back to himself that the truth would've come out. At which point... he probably would've been sent to a more typical prison, or the case re-evaluated entirely with the new information.

I end up sobbing because I’m so exhausted, and soon after I pass out which still doesn’t help as much as real sleep does. But it makes me feel a bit better.
