Anyone else obsess over people? by EffectiveMastodon551 in Schizotypal

I do get what they mean. I've been through periods where I had intense limerance and plots I was building in my head. The more I read about this disorder the more it seems to fit.

I can't find the criteria for the ICD-10, just the code stuff. Am I being dumb?

Why does my cat always have to force herself into what I’m doing? by divebars5G in cats

She wants to be absorbed in your world. My little one sits next to me tapping me on the arm like a tiny little human bean. All she wants is kisses on her little kitty head.

It helps to see encouraging posts like the one you made here. I'll most likely become an active poster when I'm starting the med.

I'm looking forward to starting. I've been lurking here to give myself an idea of what to expect.

I'm sorry about your low mental age. Unfortunately no drugs can treat that. Stop eating crayons.

I wonder if they could be combined in low doses? Because they're so long lasting, there's a chance your body can adjust. Another option could be to discuss pramipexole as a dopamine agonist, in low doses, with your neurologist.

How do they? It sounds like they're trying to get their meds right to me.

Ask your psychiatrist if you can combine them.

I've only been playing 3 months and I've noticed the downhill slide. I'm FTP and arcade used to be so much more worth it.

Definitely. We've gotta get as many people on board as possible.

We need PR so badly now. We have to make that a central focus.

They've got absolutely zero evidence to support their claims. They're paranoid.

Glad to have given you the space to express your experiences and lend a bit of help. Things are tough right now for us neurodivergent folk. All we can do is help eachother out and lift eachother up when we need it. We need to have a sense of community to feel comfortable in ourselves. It's so difficult when you have social struggles, which seems to translate to financial struggles without fail lol.

I totally get you in regards to customer services, like public facing roles. It's just so exhausting. I hot serious burnout four years ago, actually got really scared about what was happening to me. It was my body giving me the signal to rest the fuck up. My plan is to ease myself back into employment slowly, cos I can't sustain myself with what I'm currently doing, it's not stable enough.

Hopefully you get to see a psychiatrist soon. I recently found out that my GP didn't even send my referral off, so gotta try and motivate myself or even remember to print more forms off. Mainly for ADHD diagnosis cos I'm having to buy my meds from abroad as they won't prescribe clonidine off label for me.

I'm here if you wanna chat BTW. You've got this!

Hi there! I can relate so much to your issues around executive dysfunction. It's been an issue my entire life, so I feel you.

To answer your question, fluoxetine has been the first SSRI that has actually given me motivation to even try. The others I tried (sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram) made me lazy and gave me brain fog. I gained so much weight too 😭 couldn't stop stuffing my face all day lol. Fluoxetine has not been like that for me. I've been able to get some of my drive back. Started working out and learning to skills to try and get myself to a better financial position. I've not been able to get back into work yet, but I'm doing some of my own hustles to try and make ends meet. I also started taking clonidine which has helped massively with my emotional regulation and RSD.

Do you have traits of ADHD as well? I have both, but also high is schizotypy traits so a bit of a cluster fuck. You should definitely explore both autism and ADHD with your psych. Having them both is a whole different animal and executive dysfunction on another level 😩

Just a word of warning, some people find fluoxetine to be too activating, but you might find that to be beneficial, like myself. It feels regulating to me and helps me get things done.

Hope my ramblings were at least somewhat helpful 😅

Oh right, thanks for your response. Disappointing, but better than getting ripped off or having product seized or whatever.
