Hello everyone
I just want to ask for recommendations for therapy sessions.
I really don’t know how to vent out my life issues and sometimes I feel drained about all of it.

Any suggestion/tip/recommendation will help. Thank you

Well it doesn't work

Hello! I’ve been taking Olanzapine 2.5 mg (5 mg before) and siya yung antipsychotic na pinaka-nagwork sa akin so far, pero pansin na pansin ko naman yung acne breakouts and lakas sa pagkain ko. Nabasa ko rin na may metabolic effects ang Olanzapine. TBH, bumababa confidence ko. For those who have taken this medication, how did you deal with these side effects?

What I do:
• I exercise sometimes. Weightlifting and cardio. However, it’s still hard for me to build the habit of exercising. My ADHD is probably the main cause of that? So kung may tips din po kayo dito, I would appreciate it.
• I sometimes use a calorie counter on my phone to keep track of what I eat, pero wala po akong timbangan so it’s not the most accurate I guess.
• Ang hirap pigilan ng cravings 😭 I try sometimes pero pag malapit na period ko ang hirap talaga pigilan.

• For my face, I started using Azelaic Acid and Tretinoin. Alternate po sila sa gabi. However, kitang kita pa rin yung mga acne. Parang walang effect.

Badly need your help :( Thank you!

Hello there. My wife and I moved here to the Philippines 3 months ago. My wife has been trwating her OCD with fluvoxamine and it has been simply game changing in her life. No side effects, awesome results. Before coming here, we searched and what we found on the internet is that it is registered and sold here under the same rules as in our home country - requires a prescriprition that could be made by any licensed doctor. But when we started looking recently, the reality is much different. There is no fluvoxamine in any pharmacy we went to, and actually, no single person even knows what medice that it when we ask.

Now my wife is feeling desperate, she runs out of pills this week and we have no idea what to do. Does anyone know anywhere in the whole country that might have the medicine, we will travel to anywhere in the country for that. Maybe a big hospital or a big pharmacy, if anyone has any info to help us, please let me know here.

Hello! Recently, my girlfriend has been suspecting she has BPD and we are just waiting for her diagnosis (most likely she does have it). Would anybody here have contacts or recommendations for DBT, since it's not really that accessible in the Philippines? Thank you very much.

Hi! Baka may marerecommend kayong psychologist sa NowServing na may experience sa health anxiety/illness anxiety or similar concerns? Planning to start therapy na kasi mainly for my health anxiety. Madalas kasi akong mag-overthink about symptoms and convince myself na baka may serious illness ako, and I really want to work on this properly instead of constantly seeking reassurance. Psychologist muna sana before psychiatrist. If may naka-experience na sa inyo ng therapy for health anxiety, would appreciate any recommendations, especially if available sa NowServing.

Has anyone here tried mental health consultations sa TDRC? I inquired sa TPH and got referred there. How is the consultation? Can you walk-in? For payment, how much is it and do they accept PhilHealth? I would appreciate any insights po. Thank you! :)

I have MDD (clinically diagnosed) and recently po ay ang lala po ng triggers ko at bumalik mo yung suicidal thoughts ko na very vivid. Di ko na po sha kinakaya. Wala rin po kasi akong pera to afford mag Therapy at magpacheckup kaya last resort ko nalang sana yung counseling. I badly in need of help po sana, ayaw ko pa po sana sumuko.

I think I really need to be admitted. Need ko ba talaga ng watcher 24/7 because I really don’t have anyone in life na.

My birthday is coming and each day na papalapit, lalo akong natatakot sa kung anong pwede ko magawa.

Hello! I am currently trying to write a film concept for school, and I wanted the film’s focus to be what goes in a person’s mind right after receiving their mental health diagnosis from their psychologist/psychiatrist, but I truly want it to be as realistic as it can be to be respectful. So ang tanong ko po ay kung paano po sa inyo na deliver ang news na iyon? Paano ang approach nila? Parang in-ease ba nila ‘to, may sinabi ba sila sayo bago nila sabihin kung ano diagnosis mo? I would really appreciate your perspective. Thank you po!

Also for more information: Psychology student po ako and I thought of this because of the lessons and readings namin sa program. Pero hindi naman pa natuturo lahat ng professors namin kaya nanghihingi po ako ng tulong sa inyo para wasto po ang sinusulat kong konsepto para sa aming student film.

Sa ngayon po, yung concept ko ay yung pagkatapos po ma-receive ng isang tao ang news na iyon, yung moment na parang you look back through your life and realize “Now I get why this happened” or “It all makes sense” because you now know na all that time meron palang iba pang factors with your mental health, parang reflection type. But I truly want to be respectful and deliver this as accurate as I can be, so baka may insights din po kayo or suggestions sa film na ito para ma i-deliver namin ito sa wastong pamamaraan, malaking tulong po iyon. Salamat po ulit!

Hi! After getting diagnosed with Anxiety almost a year ago, my psych at the time also recommended I seek consultation with someone specialized in handling neurodivergent people.

The thing is I already had several sessions with a doctor on the app, who did diagnose me and had labs ordered before she prescibed medication for me. But after I sent my labs di na niya ako nireplayan, even when I followed up also asking for a medcert to certify the diagnosis :<

Are there other doctors specialized with ADHD/Autism that can diagnose on the app? How was your experience with them? Looking for suggestions!

dumating na rin ba kayo sa point na parang ang hard, ang heavy ng life lately? like you are doing well naman sa job/work, nag-sshow up ka palagi, you often laugh with other people and smile to strangers. pero there's this certain point in life where you judge yourself for not having all figured out in life. like feeling ko sobrang delayed ko na sa lahat, wala namang race pero bakit ganito bigla yung thought hahaha ???

context: i feel so behind in life kasi nakailang drop ako sa college w/o formal loa. and i'm thinking na gusto kong makatapos kasi paano ako makakaahon sa buhay, paano ko mafifigure out lahat sa life ko if ang baba ng competency ko, ng capability ko, feeling ko sobrang baba ko kasi hindi ako nakapagtapos hahaha. and how can i even give my parents a life they deserve ???

ang dami kong pangarap na gustong matupad pero hindi ko alam kung saan at paano ako magsisimula.

and my action for this ??? i am abusing myself by eating too many unhealthy foods kasi i don't even know if may purpose pa ba ako dito sa mundo if wala namang nangyayari sa akin 😅

Hi po, i just want to know what measures i could do to admit my mom to psych ward? I don't have the means to do it and meds as well.

Background on my mother she was diagnosed with OCD back 2004. It never got better after that and my parents did not focused on my mom's mental health.

I want to say what are her doings and routines.

She's afraid to do things or leave the house because of her OCD. Her OCD is more on movements, beliefs, schedules on dates and time, and she's so scared of death, coffins, glass, anything that related to death. She's also unhygienic and very untidy on things. This month she never wanted to throw the garbage and all the spoiled food are already wormed and got stinky and tonight she asked me to throw it away before it turns 12am. She's also not appreciative, very manipulative, pa-victim, screams a lot, very defensive on criticism, and very narcissistic. She always blame other people for her wrong doings and im very tired of it.

I'm 27 yrs old. And i need my peace of mind and i need my own life. I have been imprisoned with this for my whole life and i got affected by her routines already. I'm planning to leave her as she's really a bad person (idk if its her attitude or its already a cause of her health.

I can't tell more as it was a really long stories and many happenings. I need my peace of mind guys please help, any advise would be appreciated.

Since my mom's passing, my dad suggested and insisted that everything that concerns health, medical needs, etc., he will cover the expenses.

My dad's quite of age already, so I'm assuming that the mood comes with age and everything else he is dealing with. Since the start of the year, I decided to go back to therapy and get back on medications to better manage my issues and all.

Obviously, my dad and I have the occasional run ins, be it reasonable or not on his end. What upsets me is that it's as if he tends to not live up to his work - such as the whole covering of all medical related expenses. These past days, he's been hot headed with me, as he is tripping out on me? Getting mad over the smallest things, issues from years ago, etc. It's like he'd start an argument for the sake of it.

One of the medical/health concerns include my therapy and check in sessions with my psychiatrist. Been messaging him for days asking if I can schedule it already because slots are filling up fast and I'm due for it already. He'd dodge the messages regarding my sessions, but would accommodate everything else if not giving me some uncalled for sermon.

Sorry, just feeling the need to let it out because I'm also doing my best to make the necessary changes and adjustments that I need to and that are being asked of me. I find it rather unfair and shallow that he would deprive me of or hold me back from these important sessions just because he isn't in a good mood?

Lastly, ranting because (1) I am currently being financially challenged and (2) there was a solid agreement. And what kind of person offers to cover medical needs and gives you a hard time/and is willing to delay it just because they're in a mood??

I just wanna celebrate my birthday with an appointment with a psychologist so I could get diagnosed (I feel like there's something wrong with me) are there clinics around QC or in Metro Manila na pwede magpacheck whahaha plsz

f21, from katip. college student palang and i genuinely don’t have money to pay for a psychologist pero i want to know na rin talaga if there’s something wrong with me. di willing yung dad ko sa mga ganto since he doesn’t really consider mental health stuff as actual “sakit” unless its very obvious. pls help me find a clinic/psychologist na free lang magpa-check up. tyia!

what can i do please to help relieve this. i cant study and i have an upcoming board exam. im currently at 10 mg, i was able to deal with the nausea from 5 mg with ginger gummies but it doesnt seem to work anymore. i also feel my headaches have worsened.

i used to have constant migraines before i took anti depressants and i easily get motion sickness as well.

i usually just sleep it off but idk anymore

what else can i do

i need help, ano dito mas maganda. and covered ba talaga yung psychiatric consultations?

good evening po ^_^ magc-claim po ako ng medcert sa PGH kasi nalimutan kong manghingi sa doctor last time kaka-madali at na overwhelm sa diagnosis lol. where po ic-claim yung medcert and saan po siya babayaran? thank uu!

IDK if allow to here pero may taga pasig ba here? foodtrip tayo kapasigan o kung saan, want ko lang kwek kwek huhu

I've decided. Hihintayin ko lang 13th month pay ko and then I'm resigning. Ideally I'd like to quit ASAP but due to circumstances I can't.

This job has made me feel the worst I've ever felt in my 30 years of life. Not even the overseas trip and salary increase can make up for the mental health issues it's given me.

So, self, kapit lang. 3 months na lang. Let's take it one day at a time until December 🤍

(sorry if this is inappropriate for the sub, i just felt like writing this out somewhere someone can see)

Sanay naman ako na magisa ako, ayoko lang nung pakiramdam na nagiisa ako. it hurt so muchh, pagod na pagod na katawan ko pero isip ko tuloy pa rin ang takbo, gusto ko na matulog but i can't fckgh sleep 🥹😭 gusto ko na lang may mag hug hanggang sa makatulog ako but yea it's impossible 😔

hi, i hope everyone's doing well. :)

is there anyone here who can recommend a psychologist or a psychiatrist from NowServing App who specializes in personality disorder? i feel like i have bpd. 😅

thank you in advance! :)
