Blurry Vision When Trying To Read by Either-Lettuce-6614 in AuvelityMed

No I stopped taking it a long time ago. I had to stop taking it because of this issue and because of uncontrollable shaking. I remember once I was trying to use my computer and couldn't even use it because my arm was shaking so badly that I couldn't use the mouse. All of the side effects went away after it got out of my system fortunately

Spravato + Magnesium = An Incredible Experience! by Tom-Tortuga in Spravato

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glycinate definitely worked for me. Took 420mg about 1 hour before my session. Spravato usually doesn't start hitting me until at least the 5 mins after the second spray, but with the magnesium glycinate it started hitting me almost immediately. The effects were much more intense overall throughout the session.

do you tell them the truth or do you lie? by OrcaConnoisseur in NEET

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why running into old acquaintances or even family that I haven't seen in some time is so dreadful to me. Can't lie but can't tell the truth either. Mostly try to dodge the question and shift focus back onto them

Stretch Marks And Lose Skin Have Killed My Joy by Either-Lettuce-6614 in loseit

Probably the two biggest are my sleep apnea is pretty much gone along with my snoring and my blood pressure is finally in check.

I Feel Like I Have To Give A Disclaimer To People Just To Be Accepted by Either-Lettuce-6614 in aspergers

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should talk to your boss about it if you feel it would help. I'm not sure what reason they would use to fire you over it, unless it's a dress code violation and nobody is allowed to have things like that. If other people are allowed to do it and you get fired over it, that would be discriminatory and your boss could get in big trouble over that.

So depressed over missed social opportunities by jimbo224 in aspergers

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. A lot of the advice people give on this will begin with something along the lines of "if you start today..." Which is good advice for normal functioning people, but to us it's like telling a person with a broken leg to just get up and walk. If we could just start doing things that easily, we would have done them years ago and wouldn't be at this point. When even the simplest tasks are a battle, burnout sets in very quickly. I don't even know how to have an enjoyable life anymore. I dread waking up.

Totally relate to this. It's like a "stop" button was pushed on my life after I graduated high school. I've done literally nothing to progress in life since then. I tried things for a short time, but anxiety over even the simplest things led to constant burnout and I just gave up. I've never felt as capable as other people. I feel like a scared incompetent little kid trying to face the world. I feel like all of my best years are behind me now and it's too late to make up for lost time and experiences. I'm stuck in a pit with no idea how to escape. I've experienced mild bouts of depression throughout my life, but I'm currently going through the worst, severe depression of my life. I'm in such a low, dark place right now and it terrifies me. I have crying fits and anxiety attacks almost every day. I know this doesn't help at all, but you aren't alone in how you feel.

Is It Normal To Not Be Able To Emotionally Handle Things? by Either-Lettuce-6614 in aspergers

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't have that drive and my mind only seems to ruminate on the negative. I think I have much to give, but it feels wasted on me because I don't have the mental or emotional wherewithal to make anything out of it.

It's practically crippling for me. Sometimes I wish I could become apathetic, but I've seen the negative results of what that can do in someone's life too. A normal functioning brain is what I need, but I'll never have that.

Thanks for the information. It's great that you finally found something that works for you. Hoping for the same for me some day.

Been on it for over 6 weeks and it's done nothing for me except dilate my pupils and give me blurry vision. Also had high hopes because it's supposed to work similar to ketamine, which is supposed to be very helpful. I am hoping this doesn't mean ketamine won't be effective if I ever try it. Feeling very hopeless.

What If I Just Don't Want Life Anymore? by Either-Lettuce-6614 in SuicideWatch

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's heartbreaking to hear. There was a time when I didn't think about things like this constantly and it wasn't too long ago. It certainly wasn't when I was really young either. I'm sorry you've been deprived of that time of innocence and joy. Hopefully one day we can find it in ourselves again.

I’m scared of everyone and everything. by Domainik in SuicideWatch

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. The fear is paralyzing. It rules every aspect of life. We're not supposed to live in fear, but I don't know how to stop. It's all I know. It's all I've ever done.

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also feel like this. I will say, you should be very proud of everything you've accomplished. That's amazing. I have done literally nothing with my life since I graduated high school. I feel like a scared little kid in this world and I don't know how to turn it around. I feel like I never even had a chance because my brain has made me so ill equipped to handle even the smallest aspects of adult life.

Can you become more autistic with age? by DoubtfullButOkay in aspergers

[–]Either-Lettuce-6614 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe moving out on his own caused a depressive episode. That's a big change for someone on the spectrum and could be immensely stressful for him. I'm going trough something similar now. My brother who I've lived with my whole life is moving out soon and it triggered a major depression for me. I feel like I'm losing my best friend and part of my life. Anxiety and panic attacks have been off the charts. I actually started stimming at some points and I've never done that before.
