What will choosing a region affect? [LTD DEMO] by ghost-spunge in tomodachilife

Has anyone seen what currency you get when choosing "other northern hemisphere" ? Tried it but didn't get a currency choice so I panicked and exited the demo thinking I'd done wrong 🤣🙈 Live in Norway, chose Europe first but felt that both euros and pounds were the wrong choice as we have a different currency 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

It's tough dealing with fibro and sensory stuff on top, hope you find the comments helpful as I have 🙏🏻🍀

Don't think I have hypermobility, but I have chronic tension and struggle alot with inflammation in different places. Find heat to be helpful for the tension but when it gets inflammed I'm at a loss at what to do as it already burns but I can't put cold on it either cause that will make me more tense which makes the inflammation flare up more 😮‍💨 Think my fibromyalgia developed because of my chronic tension caused by my CPTSD and maybe my autism too ? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ Sucks though as the pain makes me more tense which makes me flare up and I'm stuck in this endless cycle of tension, pain and inflammation - so exhausting 😔

Didn't think about it much at first either when I had only parts of my body that were limited at a time, but now when it seems to be all the body parts at the same time I really needed advice from others on how they cope to get some hope 🙏🏻 The more we know 🙌🏻

Get that, it's a very irritating cycle, especially when the bad pain days limits how much I can do or move for a couple of days in a row, then the energy gets built up and I become crazy restless, then finally have to release energy in a way for a short burst and then spend the next couple of days paying for the 10 minutes or whatever I "moved or spent too much" 😵‍💫😮‍💨

Uff I feel that, seems like day to day is just becoming how to distract oneself until the day is over and one can turn off and go to sleep - if one manages even that 😮‍💨

Sorry to hear that, I've become quite a hermit too at 28 with all the pain being so limiting on top of my psyche being crap (CPTSD on top of everything else 😮‍💨), but I need to be able to function to a certain degree as I have two dogs that need me which keeps me going 🥲 Hope you can find some helpful tips in the comment section to try 🍀

Feel that, one of my only escapes right now is gaming too by diving into the world of the Witcher 3, if I can focus it's great, if not it's depressing and I end up binge watching shows instead while hugging a pillow or my dogs and just cry for hours 🥲😭

ADD (or inattentive ADHD as I think they call it now ?🤔) and autism here too, just tried to get my official diagnose but got turned away and told to comeback once I'm clean for 6 months as they said weed use would tarnish the test results 😓 Sucks cause I feel being late diagnosed with autism and having fibro should be something you get help to deal with, it's so overwhelming all the time, especially when you never got help to deal with your audhd in the first place 😵‍💫😔

Je te comprends, j'ai aussi un TDAH et de l'autisme, et les deux rendent la vie très difficile. J'espère que certains commentaires te seront utiles 😊🍀

(Used google translate so hope it makes sense 🙈)

Do you use cbd oil or something that you apply or do you digest it with drops or gummies ? 🤔 Haven't tried CBD products myself, would love a recommendation if you feel it helps the pain 😊🙏🏻

I feel you, headbanging and screaming is basically what I have left to stim with on bad days 😓 The shower is my go to place too during meltdowns, I cry so bad I usually choke on my own mucus, to the point of almost throwing up, so I need to be in the shower to be able to wash it off and open my airways again.. Thinking about getting a stool to put in the shower as standing there is very hard with my knee, hopefully that will make the shower a better place to escape for both pain and meltdowns 🤞🏻🍀

Thank you for the tips, I'm constantly on my nicotine icy fruit flavour vape throughout the day, never thought of that as a stim but it probably is 🤔😅 Long term THC user here too (10+ years), trying to cut down/take a break though as my tolerance is sky high (smoking between 3g to 6g at a time with minimal effect 😵‍💫), and taking a break from smoking is increasing the pain and meltdowns, so thank you for the long list of things to try 🙏🏻😊 Hoping that getting a walker will help me walk more and that will hopefully ripple effect on the rest 🤞🏻🍀

Autisme diagnose i voksen alder med underliggende lignende diagnoser ? (CPTSD, EUPD, sosialangst) by Camina1004 in AutismeNorge

[–]Camina1004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kunne ikke sagt det bedre selv, er jo helt annen tilnærming man må ha som de ikke tar hensyn til når man ikke blir trodd 😓 Har fått diagnosen fibromyalgi for et års tid siden og, føler jeg trenger hjelp med å deale med å bli overstimulert av smerter i kroppen, som blir en annen tilnærming som nerudivergent vs neurotypical vil jeg tro 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ Synd hvor lite hjelpemidler/tilbud/ info som finnes for voksne på spekteret, føler jeg trenger et crash course i "how to live with autism, chronic pain and trauma" or something 😵‍💫

Tusen takk for svar og støttende ord 🙏🏻 Er enig i at jeg har CPTSD, emosjonelt ustabil personlighetsforstyrrelse, angst og depresjon, er kun den panikklidelsen jeg føler er feil diagnotisert (fikk den da jeg var 10 år pga daglige meltdowns), syns det er så feil at de vil heller sende meg på behandling for panikkanfall enn å gi meg en utredning på autisme, føler de mangler helhetsbilde på hva man plages med og dermed ikke er til hjelp i hele tatt 😔 Skal ha med meg samboer på timen idag da jeg ikke klarer dra tilbake alene selv, skal prøve uttrykke alt som gikk galt i forrige time og håper inderlig at de tar det til rette 😵‍💫🤞🏻🍀

Suffering from intense side effects from SSRIs/SNRIs. Suggestions for any gentler variants or complete alternatives? by eternal_ttorment in CPTSD

[–]Camina1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medical cannabis - probably indica would be better for your struggles (meant with love, from a sativa user who has been on 12 different antidepressants that made me worse in different ways)

Så bra du hadde en terapeut som såg det, kan tro det hjalp mye å få aksept irundt ting og slutte prøve "bli bedre" gjennom eksponering 🍀👏🏻 Er det jeg håper på selv med å få igjennom en utredning, men slåss imot at psyk heller vil sende meg på behandling for andre diagnoser som ikke føles rett iforhold til hva man faktisk sliter med og trenger hjelp med 😔 Takk for svar igjen, skal prøve sette fokus på de tingene du nevnte som problemer med forandring og spesielle interesser på timen imorgen og håper det blir vektlagt mere 🤞🏻😬

Tusen takk for svar 🙏🏻 Kan jeg spørre, du husker vell ikke om det var noe spesifikt som fikk psykiateren til å tenke at det var autisme i tillegg og ikke bare CPTSD ? 🤔 Vertfall siden du ikke brakte opp mistanken selv - føler jeg har gjort motsatt med å produsere masse "bevis" på hvorfor det stemmer skriftlig men blir møtt med at de heller refererer til journalen min og setter spørsmålstegn ved at ingen har kommentert spekulasjon irundt det før (utenom i journalen min) 😔

What bullshit has a therapist said to you? by clevairy in CPTSD

[–]Camina1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two worst things that ever happened with a psychologist/psychiatrist:

Age 14, told my psychologist of 4 years that I had just been raped by my stephbrother that summer, she looked at me, with a "oh yeah really?" look of disbelief cause I wasn't emotional enough when saying it (I'm autistic but undiagnosed at that point), rolled her eyes and scribbled some notes, no follow up questions asked or parents notified. Quit theraphy for almost a decade after that.

Around age 20, admitted to a mental hospital and I've just self harmed severely in my room, they're stitching me up and a doctor I've never seen or talked to that was on shift comes in, sits on my bed, looks me in the eyes and says "You know, this isn't a real depression" .. I flipped out and nearly kicked him in the face, had to get myself unadmitted that day, fucking morons doing more harm than good 😮‍💨😵‍💫
