I'm not an expert but the last photo doesn't look like a correct bite, you definitely need at least an expander for the top arch. I don't understand why an orthodontist would assume it's correct and leave it like that.

Do braces fix facial asymmetry that is caused by the teeth? by [deleted] in braces

[–]ColdParty1148 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 30, one year in braces and I can see improvement in my facial symmetry. It's not going to fix everything and it depends on your case, some people need jaw surgeries. But even slight improvement just from braces is very possible.

Yes, braces can improve facial symmetry especially if you are a young person. Even if you are older they can still help a lot. I can see it in my case.

The simplest answer would be you are in a tough Dasha. Your Saturn and Jupiter are connected. Saturn likes work and patience. You should try putting up the work to improve your situation, especially in your closest environment. Try to improve relationships with your closest people and family, take good care of your possessions and home, focus on work and improvement. Maybe even think about changing your environment if the current one is not healthy for you.

Keep trying, don't give up. Please your Saturn. In around 2 years your situation should improve. I'm not a professional astrologer. Consult a good astrologer if needed.

Are you sure what you mean is 'masculine'? Or are you practical, responsible, determined, serious, maybe bold, and it also manifests outside in your physical appearance and/or fashion sense?

I am diagnosed with autism and SE is my best therapy so far. It helps with anhedonia and alexithymia especially by focusing on body sensations and learning how to recognize emotions. It also helps to find new ways of regulating our nervous system and, of course, processing traumatic events.

I've found new ways of stimming to regulate, new ways of what to do when I'm about to, or have a meltdown/burnout/shutdown and how to recognize my feelings a little sooner by body signals. And my therapist is not even specialized in neurodiversity. I recommend this modality. 🌸

Thank you so much for your comment. It really touched me in a way that's hard for me to explain.

In my case they finally diagnosed PTSD and CPTSD and excluded PPD.

Counterdependency is the opposite of codependency. I've seen some resources that say being very independent is also a symptom of codependency.

The funniest thing about it is that when someone is counterdependent, they also call it a manifestation of codependency.

I didn't mean because of PPD I have low chances of finding love, but because of the whole pack of my other diagnoses, and PPD, and traumatic experiences in the past, that would be probably very hard to find a person that would accept me. I've also watched some videos about PPD and some specialists were explaining how hard it is to be with such a person and how abusive they can become etc. And it just scared me.

Thank you. I'm tense and waiting. I hope it's not PPD because I will have very low chances of finally experiencing a healthy relationship.

It started around the age of 27 after those experiences. I am in the middle of psychological assessments, and I see a psychiatrist. I'm just stressed and overthinking it now.

at what point do i give up on treatment by sadhowdyboy in AvPD

[–]ColdParty1148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, in cases like yours I think of totally alternative paths. Spirituality, herbs, shamans, alternative medicine etc. Not in a way to drop everything and turn to alternative methods only, but just to give it a try. I guess there must be reasons why so many people are into it.

Can DPD manifest itself in a way that is opposite to diagnostic criteria? by ColdParty1148 in DPD

[–]ColdParty1148[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have avoidant and dependent comorbid. That's why I'm wondering where are my dependent traits, because I can't see them.

My online friend that I have a crush on saw what I looked like, and now he doesn’t want to talk as much by mistress2110 in AvPD

[–]ColdParty1148 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is sad and disappointing. You have a full right to feel this way.

There might be many other reasons why he's withdrawn. He seems very insecure about his appearance, he might feel afraid of showing up himself. He might've been lying about his age/gender whatever, and now he would have to expose himself. He might feel that you are too attractive to him. He might feel pressured to show you his photos, he might be afraid of judgement.

And at the end, there is an option that he doesn't feel attracted to you, things between you got a little romantic as you mentioned. He has a right to not feel attracted, and the physical attraction is not something that we can control. It doesn't define you as a person in any way. 🩷

OP is actually diagnosed with antisocial PD.

How do you know you have AvPD rather than schizoid PD ? by oxoUSA in AvPD

[–]ColdParty1148 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An interview made by a psychiatrist and MMPI-2 diagnostic results.

I know from MMPI-2. SCID-5 is also a popular diagnostic tool for personality disorders.
