Social anxiety/anxiety, avoidant personality disorder, depression probably more idk they really have a hard time diagnosing me. I have a hard time doing anything. Cant even leave the house. I feel empty/blank all the time. I get really irritated especially socially. I cant talk to anyone. I have no friends, never had a job, no money of my own. I dont go anywhere really. Other people just really annoy me and always say or do something that I take personally or gives me negative thoughts. Also I have no self esteem no self worth. I cant carry conversations. I cant answer questions. Theres just no point for me to socialize really. I wont be able to open up to anyone. Transportation is rough too. My mom has to take care of everything for me. - [ ] I dont even like eating. My mom has to force me to eat. Basically without my mom wouldnt be able to do anything. Im screwed when shes gone and I dont care. I dont even want to be in this world. Ive tried different meds -Prozac -Lexapro -Wellbutrin -Lamictal -Risperdal -Klonopin -Adderrall Etc Group therapy was the worst. I couldnt talk and the therapist made me so embarrassed. Therapy just doesnt work for me. Nothing does. |

| Topic | Has anyone just given up in mental health treatment? |
| lowtides 10/07/17 3:11:39 PM #1 | I just cant take it anymore. Therapists only increase my issues. They confirm my negative thoughts and are naggy as f***. My last one was abusive, yelling at me throwing stuff at me and demeaning me. I dont want to see any more because they havent been helpful No meds Ive been prescribed by psychiatrists work. My current one is at a loss of what to do with me. Its just painful. I cant deal with treatment. I guess Ill be like this forever. I feel like s*** and everythings just a pain. My future is looking very grim and I dont care |

| lowtides 10/07/17 12:40:15 PM #83 | Whats really important for HIV is the health care issue. With improvements to health care will also come improvements to HIV prevention. I think a lot of people who knowingly spread HIV also have mental health issues like depression. So its a complicated issue |

| lowtides 10/07/17 12:19:04 PM #72 | These laws treat people living with HIV differently than those living with other serious communicable diseases and can result in felony prosecution, even when the individual does not engage in any behavior that could result in transmission of HIV. Criminalizing people living with HIV in this way is a discriminatory and stigmatizing relic from decades of homophobia, misunderstanding, and outdated AIDS hysteria. SB 239, by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblymember Todd Gloria (D-San Diego), would modernize HIV criminal laws and bring them in line with evidence-based means to prevent the spread of HIV. Research now shows indisputably that if a person living with HIV takes medication suppressing their viral load, it is impossible for them to transmit the virus to their partners even when a condom is not used. Thats why the absolute best way to prevent new HIV infections is to ensure that everyone who is HIV positive knows their HIV status and has quality medical care. But laws designed to target people with HIV have been shown to increase stigma, thus reducing testing and engagement in care. You cannot be prosecuted if you dont know your HIV status and recent studies have found that many people do not get tested out of fear of prosecution. The message these laws send? Take the test and risk arrest. Current law is especially dangerous for women. Research shows that 43 percent of HIV-related prosecutions in California were women, despite the fact that women comprise less than 13 percent of people living with HIV in the state. As leader of a national network of women living with HIV, I have seen women remain in violent or otherwise abusive relationships because partners, aware of their HIV status, threatened to prosecute them. Shame, fear of losing employment or housing, and the threat of violence to themselves or their children can be immobilizing. And they have good reason to be afraid: proving that a former partner knew their HIV status is virtually impossible and people have faced discrimination and deadly violence when their HIV positive status was publicly disclosed. Current law puts people living with HIV in a situation where they have to prove their innocence. For HIV-positive women in relationships with male partners where physical violence is a factor, condom use may never even have been possible. A woman cant force her partner to use a condom or use one discreetly without his awareness. Although she may have no control in this situation, she would still face the risk of prosecution. What she may be able to control, however, is whether she consistently takes her anti-retroviral medication improve her own health and to protect her sexual partner from acquiring HIV. SB 239, by reducing fear and adding new protections, will help women living with HIV stay healthy while avoiding the economic and emotional extortion made possible by existing law. To be clear, SB 239 maintains criminal penalties for those extremely rare bad actors who intentionally transmit or try to transmit HIV to another person. But the bill ensures that people living with HIV cannot be prosecuted if they take measures to reduce the risk of transmission like using a condom or being on treatment. These changes will keep our communities safe, while preventing the unfair prosecution of people living with HIV and other communicable diseases. Iowa reformed its laws in 2012, and Colorado did so in 2016. Now its time for California, a renowned leader in humane and fair treatment of all its residents, to advance the safety and dignity of people living with HIV and improve public health. SB 239 awaits signature on Governor Jerry Browns desk; it is in our states best interest that he sign it promptly into law. http://gearsofbiz.com/criminalizing-hiv-status-is-wrong-and-governor-brown-should-stop-it/103992 |

Actually studies show women and POC (in particular black people and latinos) are disproportionately targeted by these laws HIV criminalization disproportionately affects women and people of color. Forty-three percent of those criminalized under Californias HIV-specific criminal laws are women, despite comprising only 13 percent of people living with HIV in the state. Blacks and Latinos make up two-thirds of people who came into contact with the criminal justice system based on their HIV status, despite comprising only about half of people living with HIV/AIDS in California. |

| lowtides 10/07/17 11:36:42 AM #36 | The Admiral posted... lowtides posted...Criminalization serves only to fuel continued stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, Equality California argued in a paper supporting a change in the law. These laws work against public health. They provide an incentive not to know your HIV status because you can only be prosecuted if you know you are HIV-positive. They create mistrust of public health professionals, making people who have tested HIV-positive less likely to cooperate with partner notification, treatment adherence and prevention programs. And they place HIV-negative people in harm's way by making them believe they can engage in risky behaviors without the risk. Im just bringing up one argument for the bill And yeah Id trust organizations that have had tons of contact, research, and experiences with/on those with HIV over randoms on the internet |
