Well, last week (i think it was last week) i went to a psychiatric. it wasn't like i wanted to go, i was kinda "forced" to go, but after sometime thinking i had an idea "well, i'll go, talk to him and prove them that i'm okay, so they i won't have to bother about that anymore". The reason why my family made me go to the psych. was because i spend too much time in the computer, i don't socialize, i don't hang out, i just like to spend my time in my room studying, reading philosofic stuff, gathering knowledge, researching, in the computer, reading mangás, watching animes, playing games on pc. Anyway, basically, that's what i do. I went to the psychiatric, he made me some questions (i wasn't sure how i should answer them, and now i'm thinking that my asnwer wasn't the real thing) asked me to draw a tree, a house and a person in a rainy day...well, i was starting to draw the tree when something pops on my mind about not forgetting about doing the ground, if i'm not mistaken, someone told me or i readed it somewhere, well, obviously i couldn't put that out of my mind and try to draw them as i would do if i didn't know this. After this and few more questions he made me, he said i have APD (avoidant personality disorder) and told me to take risperidone (which, by the way, is messing up my sleep cycle) when i went home, i started to research about what is APD and the description didn't fit to me. When i was young (5 y.o.), my parents told me to pick a musical instrument to play, i picked violin. After some years i started to play in an orchestra, but i dropped when i went study abroad. I like to be alone, i had just like 4 good friends and now they are all away from me since i'm studying abroad. Anyway, about my interpersonal relations, in university i only get interested to talk about things related to the subjects of university. People often call me to go out with them and i just decline saying i'm not in the mood, i don't really care if people say anything, i mean, i'm what i'm that wont change. In school i used to be one of the top 3 in grades, i really like to learn and acquire knowledge, besides, its very easy for me to learn something, the only subject i had to study a bit was maths, besides that, i just readed the subject and got good grades, oh, by the way, the school i used to study, was one of the hardests. My personal life, well, i oftenly hear that people saying "ah, you look good" or "you're handsome" or something like that, and i just don't mind, i mean, i answer them like "Haha, thanks! that's kind" but i really don't mind, i just do that in order to keep a "good balance". I never had a girlfriend, i just had some relationships which mostly, were ended by my side, now, i don't even care about that, i mean, if something is going to happen, then let it happen, but if it isn't that, it dosen't matters anyway, i'm good like that. So, i ended up here, searching for APD and made the test (yeah, i know, you shouldn't trust in these kind of stuff, but i got very high for schizoid) but i started to research about schizoid and Asperger and i think i fit a bit on one of them, but i'm not sure what would fit best. Please if you have any other question about, feel free to ask me. Thanks in forward for the help |

If you got problems with non-verbal communication e.g. can't read someones facial expression, you got assburgers. If you are a loner and proud of it, but dont got the problems above, you got schizoid. If you get all nervous and lock up in social situations and always end up saying something retarded, you got avoidant PD. And if I were you I would cease taking respiridone immediately, it is poison and it will f--- you up years from now if not tomorrow. Also, you're getting good grades and your parents wanna find out whats wrong with you? I hope they dont f---ing murder you if you get a degree. |

ah, indeed sometimes i can't get subjective speechs, i'm not sure if i can read facial expressions but i've started to read body language since i was 12, since it was an intersting knowledge to acquire. I'm a loner and i like to be alone, i mean, if there is a group of colleages talking near me, i just don't care and i keep doing my own stuff. Being nervous in social situations? hmm, if there is something that makes me interested i just analyze it and that's all, i don't get nervous mostly. Ah, indeed, respiridone its messing my whole sleep cycle, i can barely sleep 4 hours/day. I already have sleep disorders and that mess even more them. Yeah, you know, i'm studying medicine abroad, so, they kinda get overprotective, they (my parents and my brothers) don't find "normal" for someone being alone and not socializing. Thanks for the help Hip! i'm thinking to going to the psych. pretty soon, so i can ask him to withdraw the repiridone! |

"'ve started to read body language since i was 12, since it was an intersting knowledge to acquire." Ok... non-verbal communication is not something you study about and learn like geography. Its an interpersonal skill and you either have it or you dont. Yup, Aspergers. Just outta curiosity, ask your psych. how exactly risperidone is supposed to help you gain social skills when the wankmaster doctor-wannabes cant tell apart aspergers from schizophrenia from practically anything else in the book and their meds are untested street drug derivatives that I make at home in my basement? Ask him for evidence mainly if respiridone or any therapy works. Ask him if it actually cured anyone. Then come back here and tell me what his response was. I guarantee you that they cant help you. Heres a fun fact: not everyone is born an outgoing, fun-loving pretty boy. You are one of those breeds, and theres f----all you can do about your genes. You will never be sociable and never know how to truly enjoy yourself, and if you try, you'll be way more miserable than you are now. Your born a basement dweller and that's how youll remain. My advice: use your skills to get a degree, make money, buy yourself a hoe and be happy like everybody else. Consider yourself lucky you aren't missing a limb, got AIDS, and dont f---ing hear voices. Unless you're anxious to be one of those sorry motherf---ers above, I'd recommend to get the hell off respiridone. |

i'm not sure why he prescribed me risperidone, that's what i'm going to ask him before resquesting him to withdraw this medication. Oh, besides risperidone i also take venlafaxin and clonazepam. I started to take'em for sleep disorders. I remember my former doc. said to take the clonazepam in order to get a good night of sleep and the venlafaxin to "balance" the central nervous system depression caused by the clonazepam, or something like that, they work pretty well for me. And yeah, my focus is to get my degree and work with neurosurgery and get a doctorade in neurosciences (brain researching). Thank you again for the help, Hip! Just curious, do you have a psychologist or psychiatrist degree? |

I dont know why he prescribed you that either, because it is an antipsychotic, for treating schizophrenia symptoms and disorders that involve severe anxiety. And you dont sound psychotic to me. It's sad you're not even working yet and gotta take sedatives in order to sleep, but whatever, that's a realistic prescription. But dude, paranoid and psychotic? Whoa... everybody involved in your assessment needs to f---ing chill. And no, I dont hold a degree in psychology. My thing is chemistry, which revolves around reality. Psychology revolves around opinion and fantasy. |

Oh, just an idea, you could continue your "medical" plan, have your psych. keep hooking you up with the risperidone and sell the pills to a local slicker. If you lived right here i'd gladly buy them for a reasonable price. You could make some money. Keep in mind that doing this is illegal, so I take no responsibility for what you do. Telling them that Hip told you to do it wont cut you alotta slack either. |

OP sounds like an exact clone like me... In all aspects...seriously though. Everything you are and are planning to be is what I am and I am planning to be. Although Im a couple years behind you (freshman in college). I too am a Schizoid. I truly don't mind it. I find researching things that I don't already know as a hobby. But so far I have been going out on weekends because I want to change my social status. I've always thought I was anti-social (never really knowing what it meant). It was until yesterday that I found out that im a schizoid. Im also planning to break my ego very soon with LSD. I've already done intense research on the subject so Im ready to completely leave this schizoid plane for a long time. |

Yeah alot of people have told me that the woods is the best place. Btw Im not completely Schizoid I either have really close friends or acquaintances nothing in between.. | |

Oh, well, i guess my sleep disorders cause may be caused by my genetics or my lifestyle...spending too much time thinking and doing stuff that pushs your brain to high frequency states for long times (by the way, that is something that i've been reading since it's kinda important for the research i'm doing). Chemestry, that's cool Hip! But, about selling my medications, well, i wont do that, too troublesome and goes against my principles. |

RoyerAlta, yup woods is an ideal location. The best part of the high is when the sun comes up and all the light starts shining thru all the trees, its a beautiful sight. The reason I said near a river is, well, because no normal person ventures to the middle of the woods at 5 AM, lol. bunek0, your speculation about whats messing with your sleep is something that would be much more realistic to seek help about. Ask your therapist advice how to relax your mind when your about to go to bed, and let sedatives be the last resort, but since you already on them you may already be dependent on them to sleep. |
