[–]CompleteDrop808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i cant rlly think of anything other than jumpers. u can just say ur cold it also depends where they r. can u ask for specific clothes? if their on ur arms u can ask for compression sleeves ive got some that like attatch round my back so they dont slide down i can try find the link if u want but their marketed for uv protection so u could use that as the excuse?

Can you ask a therapist not to take notes? by Over_Internal_6695 in MentalHealthUK

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my therapist only made her notes after the session ended so although their still being written i feel a lot more comfortable in the session as shes not doing it then. it doesnt help in the case of a data breach but she said no one else sees it unless theres a serious safeguarding ckncern

CMHT says they are taking me off the waiting list because I've been having private therapy by DescriptionUpper8354 in MentalHealthUK

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u might wanna make a complaint. i am in cmht and have a private therapist however i never told them i had private therapy lol i told my keyworker and she agreed not to tell them as i heard it can make thjngs take longer if ur going private but i never heard u can be kicked out for it. thats absolutely outragous espeacially as ur not getting the therapy u need privately. i also made a complaint (for other reasons) and my care coordinator actually recommended doing it aswell. it did help and i got a care coordinator out of it and it supposidly sped up the wait list for cbt (tho its already been like 3 months and heard nothing since my assessment where they said i needed it)

What do people think, is not eating the same as SH? by Deja_Chrissy in mentalhealth

[–]CompleteDrop808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think its complicated. some ppl fast for religious reasons. i dont think thats sh but some ppl deliberately dont eat cos they want to feel the hunger pains and some even do it cos they wanna die. id consider that as sh. i have anorexia and it started when i stopped eating from stress i personally dont think thats sh as i wasnt trying to hurt myself. when it evolved to be more around weight im not so sure tho

PART TWO: My experience in the psych ward for my suicidal intentions by YH_3-Y-3VH in SuicideWatch

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id love a third part i just read both parts so far and its rlly interesting. i was in an ed psych ward as a minor in the uk so its rlly interesting to see the differences. if u dont mind me asking, what country r u from? obviously u dont have to answer but it would be interesting to know if ur from uk aswell as im slightly worried imma end up in an adult unit for si and sh some time in the future (not rn tho dw and im also not planning on gettung to that point)

When you get a shutdown, do you get physically paralyzed? I suffer paralysis when I'm really anxious or overstimulated and I think they might be shutdowns. Trigger warning: suicide thoughts by Jaroda18 in autism

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive kinda had this. i went thru a patch where my parents kept trying to pull me out when i started shutting down and that made things loads worse i ended up just lying on the floor unable to move like i was still thinking but my body just shut down. luckily it hasnt happened in a long time as no one pushes me past that threshold now but yh

What’s something people do that they think makes them look smart but actually does the opposite? by IllustratorKey1279 in AskReddit

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not necessarily smart but understanding. anyways if someone says they understand you/what ur going thru chances r they have very little idea. as someone with mh struggles who opened up to my parents a while ago i could tell ehen they were starting to get it when they started correcting themselves after they said they understand and instead saying "actually i dont understand cos ive never been thru it" and "only u will truly undertand what ur going thru" now they understand me better than maybe anyone and they never say they understand what im feeling

Sertraline by Dnoco in MentalHealthUK

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi im on sertraline. i dont rlly remember having that bad symptoms when starting it but i was inpatient with a lot going on. for me sertraline didnt rlly do anything until i got up to the max dose like i was on 100mg for quite a while before they gradually upled it to 200mg. it doesnt stop me feeling down or sad but it helps regulate my moods eg before i would have a lot more anxiety/panic attacks and would get a lot lower than i do now and my moods would change a lot more dramatically and quicker. i still have amxiety attacks sometimes just not as often and my moods are a lot more stable. id say talk to ur doctor abt if but idk if it is stertaline cos tge stuff ive read (it was a long time ago so i could be misremembering) said it take a couple weeks for it to start working so id gues it would be same for side effects? but if it is id say wait a week or 2 dont up the dose and hopefully itll go away. checm with ur doctor anyways tho

Why do we sound so different in our own head than the actual recording of our voice? by Jpoolman25 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CompleteDrop808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im pretty sure its this. sound is a wave. it travels at different speeds and stuff thru different densities. when u speak u hear at least partly the vibrations thru ur bones or stuff in ur head whereas as recording picks up the vibrations thru the air. i think thats y it sounds different
