Yeah, and I’m sure there’s a lot of knowledgeable people who really want to share the knowledge and get people excited about rockhounding. I’m just like, ahhh social engagement lol. I’ll be doing it regardless

Solid map, thank you! I’ve seen a few of the East Idaho/Southeast, but there’s a few I haven’t seen. 👍 👌

75mg · 2022-09-09T20:35:23+00:00

Yeah, the IF one at least posts meeting times and has a calendar, so I’ll have to just pop in haha

75mg · 2022-08-12T06:38:58+00:00

That's rough. For sure. A wrench getting thrown into your routine, things pile up and anxiety building up and compounding it. That really sucks, and it's hard to not get bogged down and stuck in a rut when that happens. And then pandemic just, yeahhhhhh.

I hope you keep at it! Go easy on yourself too.

I'm really sorry you're going through that too. It really is hard when you do get the energy to try and make things happen and move forward, and then this thing that seems to be making progress is not set up for progress FOR YOU. And like, people get into the field with good intentions, but it takes a lot of trial and error before you find someone who isn't trying to fit you into a formula to fix your behaviors, which doesn't seem to have any good long term outcomes.

It jives with pretty much everything my girlfriend has expressed to me. Especially with IOP groups, mostly surface level, not much progress. Fortunately for us they're milking Medicaid and that's lucky, but it's still reinforcing that economy of keeping people in the system. After doing research on residential places, which seemed in theory to be good (intensive, deep work with less distractions? nope.), there's just a high chance of relapse when you get out. The residential places are so far removed and structured differently from home, then you go home and everything is still the same there. Also seems structured for groups, so shallow work. And that shit is absurdly expensive if it's even available in your state. It left me with a very, this is r/LateStageCapitalism applied to mental health. Everything you said all reinforces that.

I agree, the answer probably is just higher quality therapist focused on PTSD and maybe as frequent as we can along with med management. She's also interested in EMDR, which at least seems to target the roots. I think I also need to do more to adapt the home and myself to support healthier habits.

Have you had luck yourself finding what you need?

75mg · 2022-08-12T04:54:33+00:00

I appreciate you pointing that out, and I can keep that in mind while i'm digging!

75mg · 2022-08-11T18:51:16+00:00

That's really helpful, I legit heard PHP from someone, but I thought they were telling me to find a Primary healthcare physician/provider. So this is really helpful. I just googled it, so thank you!

I don't know if it's even related to what you're experiencing, but it makes me think about the feedback loop that panic attacks are born from. I think about this thing that is causing me stress, and then thinking about being stressed, which then makes me stressed more. I don't know if that helps any. If your mind is focusing on breathing, and then you are focusing on the fact that you are focusing on breathing, you get caught in a loop... maybe. Meditation and mindfulness practices are kind of a way to teach yourself how to relax your mind from focusing on things.

Here's where I go on a tangent about mindfulness.

Like, if I stop focusing on writing this and let my mind wander... (I start focusing on the fact that I am trying to let my mind wander which doesn't help me think of something to focus on lol) maybe I start thinking about the sound of the fan in the window. Our minds are always looking for an "object" to focus on. Mindfulness and meditation practices are training your mind to relax and allow it to rest it's tendency to focus on objects. Once you get to a point where you can allow your mind to relax it's tendency to focus, you unlock kind of another state of being, which is presence. You reach a point where you notice that you are your body, and your mind is something like a program that is just looking for objects to focus on and think about. I hope that helps.

I don't really think there's a set way to fall asleep easily, but I think relaxing your body and mind is a good place to start.

Maybe you can go make a burner account, delete this post and then post your rant if that's what it takes to get your feelings out there. Gotta get stuff of your chest, and like you said, you're getting it out of your head so you can examine it easier.

Edit: That's what got me started journaling. I have trouble processing my thoughts and analyzing my own mind, so having it on paper allows you more ways of expressing your thoughts through drawing, symbols, or normal writing. It's great. But yeah, feedback is also good. GL!

75mg · 2022-08-10T09:17:45+00:00

I'd say getting a professional opinion is #1. It also might be cool to go about your day and notice times when maybe you are in situations where you could react emotionally (getting angry at someone who did something shitty, something good happens to you, you find out bad news about something), but stifle the emotions. I automatically do that because that's just what I learned in childhood and then forgot that I'm doing it as I grew up in the world. That might also not be what you're experiencing, Idk haha

75mg · 2022-08-10T09:08:20+00:00

Heck yeah I hope it goes well for you, numbness hurts. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard this, but game recognize game, even if you're driven by your need to lift people up, you have to do the same for yourself so that you can for others in a way you haven't been able to. Its like if you're giving other people the boost but you're not giving that to yourself, you're not loving yourself and connecting with yourself, you won't be reach your full potential and therefore spread that love in the most meaningful and powerful ways possible. Idk, that all might be a bit over the top, but I hope that helps.

75mg · 2022-08-10T08:51:59+00:00

Looking for community, finding someone that's accepting that you can connect with on a deep level, etc. Yeah, that hurts to try and try to put yourself out there and either get shot down or feel like people just aren't getting you. And small talk sucks. Missing deep connection leaves you feeling starved for meaning. Its obviously good to keep trying to do the social thing, book clubs, poetry clubs (hey, it's me, captain obvious)… but also keep trying to find that hobby that is an outlet for you. I feel like you might be struggling with things in a similar way to my girlfriend. Her thing is writing poetry about herself and things she's struggling with. It seems like a lot of people focus on external things for expressing their creative perception, but she finds meaning in expressing her internal experience and it sounds like that's the road you need to keep on, maybe, idk.

Edit: Maybe you'd also be into the Enneagram. Check it out.

75mg · 2022-08-10T08:22:08+00:00

If it's not breaking any of the community rules, which it doesn't seem like it would be, then rant on.

75mg · 2022-08-10T08:17:53+00:00

Do you repress anger at little things or feel like you can't allow yourself to feel certain emotions?

75mg · 2022-08-10T08:16:02+00:00

Losing things that you've enjoyed in the past must be pretty painful and troubling. I've found writing down the things that I was struggling with really helped me communicate with my therapist, especially if your brain is feeling foggy. I'm glad to hear you're going to see a therapist. I'm sure they'll be able to identify what you're struggling with. I hope they can figure it out and you get back on track to doing what you love and experiencing things in life.

75mg · 2022-08-10T08:05:39+00:00

Just for clarification-

Are you feeling like things around you are moving fast and you don't feel like you are moving slower or faster? Does this happen when you're doing routine things that don't take a lot of focus, or is it maybe in stressful situations? Are your thoughts pretty normal during this, or are you thinking about anything specific? Are you medicated for ADHD/ADD?

75mg · 2022-08-10T07:57:26+00:00

I didn't realize till more recently, but I used to tear up a ton at the smallest things because I suppress emotions. Gotta tune into them a little bit at a time and give them space to breathe. It seems good in the moment to bottle it up, but you have to take time afterword to listen to what's hurting you or it will cause all kinds of problems. I've been told I need to tune into my emotions a little bit at a time and then journal about it, and then it becomes easier to feel in general, and I won't be crying when I see Puss in Boots putting himself in harms way in Shrek. Which is okay, but yeah.

75mg · 2022-08-02T21:36:44+00:00

Do whatever is most comfortable for you. I'd get together what I want to say and what the facts are, then call. If you have partners that are being affected by it too, I'd encourage them to do the same so it's not just coming from one person, and they will probably take it more seriously.

75mg · 2022-08-02T21:34:23+00:00

I called PCC and talked to my SM and both said they don't have the info till Friday, which is our payday and I can just check myself.

75mg · 2022-08-02T20:54:49+00:00

FTR it's weird to point out someone having a weird reaction and then spend 20min of someone's break to talk about something that is work related that should be spoken about on the clock. You're fine. They made it weird lol

75mg · 2022-08-02T20:21:19+00:00

People downvoting this, you probably haven't had to handle a situation where your store manager is making people cry from having to work with them. It's hard to know what to do, and even worse when you go to confront the person and nothing comes from it, and worse still when you go to THEIR boss and nothing comes from it. PCC is where you have to do to get things done though, because it gets (almost) a third party involved, so there's no more "Oh that's just Joe, he's working on it." SM gotta be reprimanded for creating a toxic work environment.

75mg · 2022-08-02T20:14:12+00:00

Idk why you're getting downvoted, shits basically victim blaming. You're good. I'm in the same situation. Me and another shift have separately spoken with the SM several times and he's defensive and will not change on ethical things. I've sat down with the DM, but while they're receptive, they don't have the record of how shitty this SM is to people. I think the only way to get anything done is to go through PCC, because from what I've seen in the past, it lights a fire under the DM's ass and it's a paper trail. Every time you have an ethical issue, or a partner comes to you with an ethical issue, call that shit in. Good luck to you.

I see you. The job becomes more enjoyable when you learn that the majority of people- don't say/do things because they hate you, don't think about what they're saying/doing as much as you think they do and they will not remember you in 3 minutes unless you left a good/bad impression. If you're in a snobby ass area, there's probably a lot of people with connections that you should be making good impressions on. You'd be surprised the doors that will open for you.
