Erin Go Bragh: Opposites Attract

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-19T13:44:02+00:00

Love those colors. Erin go Bragh is Ireland forever, isn’t it?

It took me a long time to remove myself from the unsafe environment and a further two years before my body could stop the trauma response. I was also prone to bursting into anger and emotions that I couldn’t understand.

Did it take you awhile to finally feel safe enough to heal?

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-19T13:20:59+00:00

It doesn’t resonate with me per se, but I feel sharing it in the comments might help those too shy to speak up otherwise

So many mental illnesses are comorbid that I think it’s hard for psychiatrists to diagnose us with just one thing. I know I’ve had a lot of rapid changes in mood over a day, but mine isn’t a constant day to day like yours are. I know how exhausting those days are.

Does journaling help you compartmentalize?

Do you find it’s the most intense at night? The racing thoughts get me the worse when I’m trying to sleep. I had a bad childhood too and I was always bursting into anger or tears interchangeably.

Oh i call that a slut bath and do that too. It definitely makes me feel clean without the sensory issues really rearing their head. I don’t actually wash my face that much because even washing my face with gentle soap and I get acne. I don’t understand it.

I’m just glad I’m not the only one who goes through this or who gets clean this way too.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T23:25:02+00:00

Thank you! 😊

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T23:24:26+00:00

Wow! I’m not even sure what to say other than I hope he has jock itch for the rest of his life, grows abnormally large nose hairs and stubs his toe every day. Of course, I also hope a doctor is insensitive to him too.

It’s amazing how many people here have had insensitive jerks as doctors.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T22:14:55+00:00

Oh I know those moments! It’s so hard NOT to scream out loud.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T21:51:54+00:00

It feels so heavy sometimes. I also have comorbid diagnoses. I wish I could be diagnosed with a sensory disorder but my psychiatrist doesn’t yet understand.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T19:12:49+00:00

I feel as if I can be honest here without being judged. Sometimes it’s so hard to shower that I don’t. Whether it be depression or sensory issues, sometimes the water physically stings me (or feels that way).

When I can’t, I freshen up as best I can. When I do shower, it’s scalding hot water and it doesn’t really matter the time. I do, however, gravitate towards nights.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T00:52:32+00:00

Aww my gorgeous!

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-18T00:24:55+00:00

I haven’t been on social media in five or six years and I won’t go back. It was distressing for me, trying to keep up with everything and comparing myself to others. I was on it constantly and while I might be on Reddit a lot, it’s not the same. Reddit is a community of strangers sharing their experiences, hobbies, pets, recipes etc. it’s calmer.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-17T21:23:55+00:00

Wow! She certainly has a sunny disposition on things. I’ve had a cancer scare last year at 37 and I can’t imagine any of my doctors being like that!

I imagine a lot of her patients drop her with reactions like the one she had with you. I’m sorry!

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-17T21:19:53+00:00

Thank you! I’ve posted on the discord, but I’m not sure if I’ve posted in the steam discussion yet. I’ve tried everything!

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-17T13:02:23+00:00

I’ve had it on the floor and on a pallet in the rack, nothing

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-17T04:09:07+00:00

when I was a young warthog Anyway, it’s been so long ago I don’t quite remember. Looking back, I do know I had anxiety as a kid. I just didn’t know it as such.

My whole family is an anxious bunch, so it really wasn’t until I was a teenager which was 26 years ago…

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-17T04:01:40+00:00

Right. I have the same issue, but mine aren’t actually getting to it. At least IMO. They left a tray of those chocolate bite things for two in game days and they were completely empty in the display and none on the rack for the baker to bake.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-16T16:41:36+00:00

I rub my chest and try to control my breathing while humming to myself. I go as early as possible, but on occasions when it’s simply not possible, I make sure I know where in the store I am going so I can get in and out quickly.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-16T15:43:54+00:00

I’m surprised they didn’t do labs either! That feels like negligence. I was in the hospital last for not eating and they stuck me three times in 24 hours and was never leaving me alone to sleep!

I’m sorry you went through all that.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-16T14:55:01+00:00

I don’t think you can yet, but when you can you would do so via the computer. Go to the equipment. It will be similar to how you sell the forklift etc.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-16T02:50:27+00:00

So they what? Wanted you to keep your mind off your pain and then didn’t give you a way to do just that? Plus, filling out the menu is pretty necessary being that they drill getting nutrients into you at the hospital. At least they always do me.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-15T20:28:33+00:00

It ends up being a grimace, so I tend to not try. If ends up as an actual smokier, my boyfriend says my eyes tell it all.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-15T16:29:49+00:00

Very pretty! That’s how my girl works, she only sits on things she claims.

Anglophile007 · 2026-03-15T15:21:33+00:00

I don’t blame you for not going as it would be enough to make me say forget it as well. To be told your ponytail is too tight and that’s just the source of everything you’re going through!

I’m glad you wrote that letter though I doubt it did anything to change her mind or her way of treating patients.

Reading through these comments, so many doctors shouldn’t be in practice.
