Hi sissies
Hindi kuna matandaan kng ano ang ginagawa ko or inopen kng app bago ako napunta sa site na ito. I've been in a medication for a few years now.  Hindi kuna marecall [textspeak!] exact year when i started to meet psychiatrist. Ang natatandaan ko lang at til now sobrang linaw sa isip ko is [textspeak!] atake na nag push sakin na "ah i need to see psychiatrist na talaga" it was 12 midnight matutulog na dapat kami ng husband ko. Then suddenly nafeel ko [textspeak!] heat sensation all over my body, and i feel like ang lakilaki ng ulo ko, then sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso sobrang kaba na parang may napakabigat na nakadagan sa dibdib ko sobrang hirap huminga.  So I woke up my husband sabi ko labas kami lalanghap [textspeak!] ako ng hangin hoping na magiging ok ako after,  but I was wrong pagdating nmin sa labas after a few walk feeling ko nauupos akng kandila,  hinang hina ang pakiramdam ko.  So I ask my husband upo tayo dad then while nakaupo I felt numb sa arms ko and I'm shaking narin then suddenly i felt scared sobrang takot na hnd ko maexplain then I don't pero sa isip ko wala, walang ibang andun,  walang ibang nasa ko kundi "mamamatay ako" anf feeling ko ng time naun as in mamamatay ako.  Sabi ng husband ko from our house hangang sa hospital umiiyak daw ako and I keeo saying daw na "dadi natatakot ako,  ayuko pa mamatay" sobrang takot na takot ako.  And from that moment sabi ko pag nalampasan koto I'll make sure na hihingi ako mg tawad kay Lord and sobrang magtthank you ako sakanya.  And after that sabi ko sa husband ko something is really wrong with me and I really need to see psychiatrist.  So I did.  Sa Medical City Ortigas Ave.  ako dinala ng husband ko and I meet Dr.  Joyce Maglaque the consultation fee is 330pesos parang ang opd nila is under charity I'm not so sure though basta ang outpatient nila is 330pesos. It was a long talk. May pinabasa sakin si dra. I think nasa 5pages din un then she told me na sabihin ko from those na nabasa ko kng alin ang nararanasan ko and alin ang mga naffeel ko.  Then after ko masabi her diagnosis is that I have GAD generalize Anxiety Disorder. Then in our second meeting madami cyang questions then pinagkwento nya din ako ng pinagkwento.  She said na sabihin ko lahat ng nasa loob ko everything na feeling ko naipon sa dibdib ko kaya it took almost an hours then sinabi after that sinabi nya na I have post traumatic stress disorder din.  Then she gave me a med nung umpisa I was reluctant iinomin ko ba or hnd.  Mahilig kc talaga ako mag search actually before pa ako magconsult may idea na ako na I have GAD kaya sabi nya din out of all her patient ako lang daw [textspeak!] hnd na dumaan sa stage na kailangan nya pa ipatanggap na I have this.  Nagkaroon na daw ako ng self acceptance which is good daw.  And she likes it daw na I do research but the only bad sa pagssearch ko is that nagsearch din ako about sa mga med na binigay nya and upon reading sobrang natakot ako sa mga side-effects kaya [textspeak!] sobrang nahirapan ako na simulan itake [textspeak!] gamot.  But then naexplain [textspeak!] ni Dra why I need to take those meds so later on ininom ko din. In a long way of taking those meds hnd ko masabi na I'm ok or I'm being ok kc I still have an attacks (yes madaming attack parin) parang the only good thing that happens sa journey ko is [textspeak!] time na immeet ko si dra kc parang in an instant I have this one person who is so willing to listen and can understand my situations and can explain to me why is it happening! Pero dumating [textspeak!] time na i lost my confidence towards doctora. Something happen and parang ang naging outcome is biglang ang hirap na mareach ni dra she barely replies sa mga [textspeak!] and it took almost a month bago cya mameet [textspeak!] schedule ng meeting nmin palaging nammove. And during that time parang I feel like I need her kasi sunod2 nanaman [textspeak!] attack and para bang I want to talk to her and I want her to say na its ok. I know it may sound selfish pero maybe because she's a doctor that's why pag sinabi nya na "oh its ok" then I'm ok. Parang that time I lost a friend who really understand me. Feeling ko nawalan ako ng isang kaagapay sa laban ko. So we (my husband and I) decided to look for a new psychiatrist and we end up at Metro Psych Facility in Maybunga Pasig. There I meet Dr. Tristan Hilario he is my current psychiatrist. And from 330 pesos we went up to 1000pesos per session. With Dra. Joyce Im taking Escitalopram as Antidepressant and Serotia (this one I really feel scared to take kc its Anti-psychotic) sino ba [textspeak!] hnd matatakot when you saw that "psychotic" word but like I said naexplain [textspeak!] ni doktora why I have to take that med and its in a very small dose, also I'm taking rivotril coz Im having a very difficult time sleeping madalas 7am na ako nakakatulog. And since nagpalit ako ng doctor and its Dr. Hilario na nga from Metro Psych in our 1st meeting I didn't tell him na nagconsult na ako before for the reason na gusto ko malaman if same sila ng magiging diagnosis ang gusto iattack nya [textspeak!] condition ko on his own way. Parang to me ayuko na malaman nya kc (baka) mag base lang cya doon. And so far same naman sila ng naging diagnosis and same din sila ng med na binigay but on our 2nd meeting binago nya [textspeak!] med ko from escitalopram and rivotril naging isa nalang ang med ko its Quetiapine Qtipine 300mg but I'm taking half of the tablet (and yes its antipsyhotic AGAIN) and believe it or not the 1st night na nag take ako ng med nato I slept 17hours (yes you read it right) 17 hours tulog walang gising gising. Para bang [textspeak!] mga araw na hnd ako makatulog binawi nyang lahat. Sa 2nd day I slept less than 17 hours [textspeak!] mga 15-12 hours. and as of now I can say na ok ang tulog ko. Every 10pm ako nagttake ng med and 30mns after taking it ramdam kuna [textspeak!] feeling na ang heavy na ng katawan ko and I really have to sleep na. When it comes sa attack from the day na nagtake ako ng new med ko once palang ako nagkaroon ng attack pero very mild as in hnd ko kinailangan pumunta ng hospital and tusukan ng pangpakalma para mawala [textspeak!] nerbyos.  But this fast few days 2 weeks tobe exact I'm having this feeling na parang gusto umatake para bang anjan lang cya and anytime magkakaroon ng attack pero Thank God kc hnd [textspeak!] talaga nauuwi sa atake. The only thing na naiba is kay Doc Hilario wala or hnd nangyayari [textspeak!] almost 1 or 2 hours na pag-uusap unlike kay Dra. Joyce. Gusto ko [textspeak!] way sana ni Dra na she allows me to talk magkwento and talagang nirrequired nya ako na magkwento. Kay Doc Tristan wala kaming ganun. hnd nya rin ako pinagkwento ng tungkol sa mga nagyari sakin from grade school up to my marriage life. Pero kay Doc Tristan nalaman ko na I'm also a Bipolar. during my meeting kay Dra Joyce natanong ko sakanya un before kc may mga times na I feel so happy ng wala [textspeak!] nangyayari and the next moment I feel so down so sad na hnd ko maexplain so I ask her kng bipolar ba ako and she said lahat daw ng may disorder can be consider as bipolar pero hnd nya talaga kinonfirm na bipolar ako, unlike kay doc Tristan sinabi nya talaga na bipolar nga din ako. And one more thingkay Dra. Joyce kc before talagang I have BIG HOPE na all this everything na nararanasan ko is mawawala. I remember sinabi nya na [textspeak!] med ko is lifetime kuna then she said "in time/years and makita nya na Im ok then aalisin nya din daw [textspeak!] med ko. From then naconfuse ako kc when you say lifetime it means  habang buhay diba? meaning all throughout your life iinomin muna [textspeak!] med naun she said kc it'll be my maintenance medicine then biglan sinabi nya rin na in time or years mawawala din so nakakalito talaga. And when I ask her "Dra. gagaling po ba ako, mawawala ba itong anxiety ko?" she said yes! So hinawakan ko talaga [textspeak!] hope naun na one day I'll be fine i'll be good and lahat ng mga nararanasan ko mawawala. Kaya I always ask my husband "dadi kelan ba ako gagaling?" inip na inip na akng dumating [textspeak!] time na I'll live a normal life. No constant worries, no scary thought, no fear na I'm ganna die any moment. Kc Dra. said gagaling ako but then pag dating kay Doc Tristan he told me "I'll be very honest with you your situation or any form of disorder is treatable but not curable" I was confuse again sabi ko sa isip ko Treatable and Curable are the same ano ibigsabihin ni doc? So I do my research and Yes mali ako na same lang sila. When you say Curable you will take a medicine or there is some procedure na gagawin sayo and after taking that medicine or after doing that procedure you will be cured, meaning [textspeak!] kng ano mang sakit meron ka is mawawala. But when you say Treatable you will take a medicine and you will undergo some procedure depende kng anong sakit mo and when YOU STOP taking that medicine or undergoing that procedure yung kng ano mang sakit meron ka BABALIK/MAUULIT MEANING HND NAWALA! Upon hearing that na sinabi ni Doc Tristan sobrang parang sinakluban ako ng langit at lupa. It was too painful too scary na malamang HINDI na pala ito mawawala andito nato all throughout my life and ang magagawa ko lang is to avoid it by taking my meds. Nakakalungkot but at the same time ok narin at least wala na akng inip na mararamdaman na "bakit bakit ang tagal ko gumaling?" "kelan [textspeak!] araw na mawawala ito?" kasi alam kuna na walang ganun. Pero may mga time naiisip ko "What if hnd ako nag take ng med or hnd ko sinimulan na mag take ako ng med ganito parin kaya ako or ang buhay ko?" Gustong gusto ko bumalik sa time na wala akng nararamdamang takot na baka mamamatay na ako. Gustong gusto ko bumalik sa time na kaya ko mag isa hindi ako halos manghina sa sobrang kaba. Madalas naiisip ko kng hindi kaya ako uminom ng gamot and hinayaan ko lang na magkaroon ako ng attack ganito parin kaya ang mga mararamdaman ko o iba? Minsan iniisip ko sana hnd nalang ako nag take ng gamot pero on the other side sinasabi din ng isip ko na what if same lang tapos mas mahirap pa kc pag nag attack wala kang gamot na pwd mag avoid ng attack. Very confusing Very sad Very Regretful in unexplainable way. Wow this is a lot! Sorry mga sissies kng suuuper haba. It only shows I miss having someone to talk too na makakarelate.

UST Psychotrauma Clinic

[Frozen Toes]

So I finally decided to see Dr. Jercyl Demetrio last weekend. My original schedule was at 5:30 PM, but she said that due to the volume of patients, I should go around 10:00 PM. I got there at 9:30 PM and she saw me past midnight. So, if you have an appointment with her, bring a book, powerbank, and something to drink/eat. The wait will be long.

If people are willing to wait that long, then you know that Dr. Jercyl knows what she's doing.

[Jbizzle94]

Hi. Do you have the number of Dr. Demetrio?

[babymeow04]

So I guess ?waiting? is something common to all psychiatrists. Pinagbibintangan ko na pa naman yung Doctor ko na sinasadya nya ko pag-intayin to test my patience. On time kase ako palagi sa appointment pero kapag may ibang dumating uunahin nya yon. Like she would make me wait at least 2 hours. 😅 I?m a diagnosed Bipolar since 2011. My doctor is Dra. Elizabeth Rondain in Makati Med.

[Frozen Toes]

I went back to my previous psychiatrist just because I think we're a better fit. I like Dr. Demetrio and she has helped me manage my symptoms through medication. My other psychiatrist, however, helps me understand why I react/think a certain way which is more valuable to me right now.

[peaceinsolitude]

I think I need to go to a psychiatrist. I have a hard time getting sleeep then I wake up really early. There are times I feel normal then biglang naooverwhelm ako sa nothingness na nararamdaman ko... like there's a hole in my chest that feels heavy. I like living but at the same time it feels tiring and empty.. when im anxious I get suicidal thoughts. Like I see myself slashing my arms and it's not something I want but it becomes my default thought when I do something I think is wrong or I remember something I could've done better. It scares me but I don't have a lot to spend. I cant afford spending more than 1k sa doctor.  Please could someone help?

[Frozen Toes]

^ Schedule an appointment with an intern psychiatrist at the Medical City, their rate is less than PHP 500 per session (but double check when you call them).

Also, read about Borderline Personality Disorder. See if you can relate to the symptoms.

[kikay iska]

Hi sis.  May I ask for the name/contact number of your other psychiatrist?  Thanks.

Mga sis, may marecommend ba kayong psychiatrist sa Makati Med na available from 5 pm onwards tuwing weekdays? How much professional fee?

I think I have a mental health problem. I have been depressed for more than a year na. I cannot sleep ng maayos. Minsan walang gana kumain. Recurring nightmares pa. There are times na magkakaflashback ako sa mga traumatic events sa past ko at maluluha ako.

[Half_Lifer26]

@young_maiden
Hi Sis!! Lately ganyan na din nafefeel ko.. Di na din maayos ang pagtulog ko and I have flashbacks of past events that are either traumatic or embarassing for me. Baka need mo muna magpaconsult sa Psychologist before sa Psychiatrist kasi kapag sa Psychiatrist bibigyan ka kagad ng gamot at reresetahan ka.. I've checked with a Psychiatrist before and puro gamot kagad ang binibigay sakin.
Are you from South area? Ang hirap makakita ng good Psychologist around the South.

Meron din ba kayong mairerecommend na psychologist from the South like from Las Pinas area or Alabang area?
Thank you..

[young_maiden]

Sa eastern part ako ng metro manila sis. I live in Pasig. I work in Makati.

Miss ko na iyong dating ako. Iyong masayahin. Ngayon napaka-nega ko na. I isolated myself from others most of the time.

Sa tingin ko sis psychiatrist talaga makakatulong eh. Ang alam ko sa mga psychologists di sila nagti-treat ng depression.

[adrianne1]

I know two psychiatrists in Makati Med, and I also know a psychologist who holds office at LRI Design Plaza (near SM Jazz).

First consultation is around 2500-3500/hr. Succeeding consultation is 2000-3000/hr. I can PM you their contact information if you're interested.
