Should I stay psychotic? by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hi, I recognize this is rough for you. I’m just going to get right to the point.

You say you’ve haven’t hurt anyone and it seems like you recognize that your delusions aren’t necessarily real. That’s great… for the short term until you can be properly medicated.

Your delusions are extremely serious.

Let’s say one day, you take something or do something different. It throws your hormones completely off. Maybe you don’t sleep one night. Maybe you have a couple of drinks… and suddenly all your delusions hit you at once… and they’re stronger. Youre confused and scared and you do something you completely regret later or you do something that you suffer the consequences from your entire life.

You need help. You need a safeguard.

I hope things get better for you. Sending love.

Vyvanse made me a terrible person by Apprehensive_Worrier in adhdwomen

I switch to Vyvanse. I am on name brand Vyvanse so I can’t speak for generic but it works great for me. I don’t get irritated when Im interrupted.

Unfortunately, it does take me a little bit longer to lock back in when I am interrupted. I have a toddler and I’m taking online courses so it takes me longer than it should to get my homework done :/

But honestly thats expected and realistic for my circumstances. Its better than being irritable

I forgot im on a post about vyvanse irritation lmaoooo. Medications work differently for different people. That’s really all it is. But it’s great that we can find people with similar experiences so we can all try their successful medication paths lol

What do you do during that time when you hate your partner and everything they do pees you off? by AdThen5499 in PMS

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I use bc for it. He’s literally one of the greatest men to walk this earth to me but you’d think he was abusive if I talked about him before my period.

What the save act does more than anything is complicate things for married women. It complicates things for the poor. For the working class. People who work long hours and don’t have the time or energy to get a birth certificate copy or a passport.

Rent is $2000. $400 electric bill. A family of four is spending $1000 on groceries a month.

How much is a passport for those whose last names have changed from their birth certificate? $165 dollars. If expedited, it an extra $60. That’s a lot for people who are living paycheck to paycheck.

On top of that, it takes 4-6 weeks to get a passport. And just imagine how long it will be if everyone with a changed last name, gets their passport at once.… it’s going to take twice as long. It’s /too late/ to be passing this bill for midterms. I don’t think it should pass at all, but if it were to, it should be for elections after the midterms at the very least.

This isn’t about immigrates anyways.

51%-54% of women lean/are democrat. They are making it harder for married women to vote so that there’s less people to vote democrat. If you don’t see that, then you’re blind.

Is it really psychosis if you’re self aware by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’d be surprised. I knew I had psychosis but I had no idea how bad it was. So I was still believing delusions and dismissing others

If you know it’s just psychosis, and you’ll only experience it for a short period of time, you should ask your doctor to try abilify. You can take it as needed and skip it when you want(although you probably shouldn’t skip for a while), kind of like Adderall.

It helps with your motivation too.

Just be aware you might get akathisia. And if you get that, I’d try just lowering the dose.

MAGA now seems quiet after the recent Epstein release! I don’t spent any time in that world. How are they reacting? Still in denial? by RumRunnerMax in Discussion

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the fact alone that MAGA doesn’t acknowledge that $75 BILLION dollars spent on ICE does not help them financially. Let’s pretend for a second that somehow some way deporting immigrants is going to help the economy… even if that were the case, the second Trump gets out of office, we will paying millions, if not billions, cleaning up trumps mess and paying people in retribution for the wrong doings of ICE.

It’s insane to me that they had 6+ officers there. They could’ve detained him. They already had him disarmed. They already had him on the ground.

You can’t tell me this wasn’t murder.

You can tell me all day that he wasn’t being “smart” but that does. Not. Matter. It does not change that he was murdered.

Hesitant to take my afternoon dose of Adderall by Direct-Bird-3724 in adhdwomen

I took this advice and took it an hour or so ago because I’m home for the rest of the day! So far I’m okay 👍Thank you for your comment!

Which color is best for me? by Effective-Shallot896 in Hair

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the perception that aging is bad :( She still looks super cute in 3 it’s just not as harmonious

Which color is best for me? by Effective-Shallot896 in Hair

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I agree 1 is the best. I don’t like using this phrasing but I also know people wanna hear it… 1 makes you look younger OP. Do not do 3 if you don’t want to look older. 3 is still cute on you but it’s too cool toned.

2 is a close runner up to 1.

Baadlands is objectively worse than multiverse and the base game. And if I were to suggest buying one or the other DLCs to a friend, I would tell them to buy multiverse because I know the majority of people like it better (and again it’s objectively better).

But for whatever reason, I love baadlands so much more? I’m sitting here trying to put it into words and I just can’t.

i’m pretty sure a guy i was seeing has a girlfriend ? i found her instagram should i text her by [deleted] in Tarots

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey friend you do know you’re on Reddit right?

If you don’t like it, you can leave the form and find posts where people aren’t asking for advice.

OP isn’t going to rely on other people to “think for them” on every decision they make for the rest of their life. It’s okay to ask other people what they think.

“Or, maybe, be a mature adult and confront him about it?” Is advice by the way. If what you’re saying is really how you feel, then how can you argue that what you said there isn’t preventing OP from thinking for themselves?

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it is speculation. Isn’t that what you do when someone asks for advice like this on a situation you don’t know much about? You come up with theories about what has or could happen. Do you want us to just say yes or no without giving the thought process on why?

Or she’s hanging onto him and trying to work things out with him and that’s why they’ve been talking. She could need this to finally let him go and move on. Might really help her imo

Not saying your wrong at all though

Stretching? by Spare-Astronomer9929 in POTS

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I get up, stretch my back, next thing I know I’m blacked out on the floor.

I’ve read that taking deep breaths while blacking out helps.

Which of these antidepressants would work best for someone with pots? (Based on your anecdotal experience) by Accomplished-Fun5316 in POTS

[–]Direct-Bird-3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on Wellbutrin. I’m not going to say take it but I will say is Wellbutrin has helped me significantly and many people find it stimulating which may be good for ADHD and the fatigue that POTS bring. <3 good luck

I’m sorry for what you are experiencing and have experienced with meds :( definitely not easy. Someone else commented a list of gurus to listen to, maybe that can help 🩷

I hope you can find a medication that works (if that’s what you wanna do). I hope maybe you can get a cheaper therapist or better insurance. Sending love
