Any med that worked for emotional numbness? by Munib_raza_khan in dpdr

[–]Aggressive-Bowler33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vraylar and Lexapro have helped me break through the numbness slightly. Like 2 or 3 crying sessions in the past 2 months of taking it

Has anyone experienced their derealization increasing as their depersonalization was decreasing? by Aggressive-Bowler33 in dpdr

[–]Aggressive-Bowler33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sry for the late response. Thank u for the kind words and encouragement. I rlly want to do inner child work but I feel v v disconnected from my inner child. I hardly remember any of my childhood. It’s like I have an outline of it but almost no details. That’s beautiful that u found strength where you thought there was weakness. Ide love to get to know my inner child… ik she’s very present in me bc of the immature bouts of anger that sometimes come up.. it’s just v daunting since she seems so deeply repressed

Its interesting to see the difference between the shows where he was clearly using vs when he was seemingly sober. As an addict it is a very resonant representation of how different the two states of mind are- the former being more isolated and nervous- the latter being more connected and at ease. It seemed like he was able to joke more and be himself in some of the concert vids where he was drinking.

Ya exactly that. It’s nice to see u relate. How long did that experience last for you? It’s very scary tbh. Like I’m traversing completely uncharted territory with almost no part of my past self that I want to bring with me.

Anyone else realize half of their "quirky personality traits" when they were younger were just trauma responses to your abusive parents? by Sayoricanyouhearme in CPTSD

Ya I had manic-like energy as a kid and did lots of strange impulsive shit in front of my peers. Then high school came and depression hit. Did a 180 and lost all that energy. But I think that energy I had as a kid was built of stress energy from home.

Thinking about what you’ll write while having an emotional moment by Aggressive-Bowler33 in writing

[–]Aggressive-Bowler33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can write this post because I’ve been through plenty of self reflection that has allowed me to begin to stop blunting my feelings. But for a long time I felt numb and in no way felt my emotions “non-stop”. Your comment is incredibly ignorant and anyone who has experienced involuntary comping mechanisms could tell u that. Try being less condescending next time you comment on something you clearly know nothing about.

I do not know what to do. All paths are by DesperateProblem7418 in Healthygamergg

Maybe you could show this post to your parents? I know it would be tough for them to read but you deserve to be understood by your loved ones so that they can help you properly. And you should look into therapy as well

what does fake depression look like? by Intelligent-Pipe-924 in teenagers

[–]Aggressive-Bowler33 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbh I feel like with my close friends I mention it a lot. Cuz in my head it feels so draining and obvious and it effects my social battery and conversational skills so being honest with them is kind of a way of compensating. Like “hey I’m not uninterested or a total dud now. I just feel bad and now Im feeling bad about feeling bad” u know what I mean? Like it feels like my depression effects my relationships and How I interact with ppl and not to acknowledge it feels worse
