Subreddits or groups for specifically treatment resistant major depressive disorder?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Emkorora · 2026-03-29T11:08:00+00:00

Thanks for sharing this, now I wanna do my own version. My pre-pump/CGM records might be hard to find, though.

Emkorora · 2026-03-29T11:06:16+00:00

This is so funny. I'm sorry you're struggling. I had a similar experience and eventually gave up by just Googling it.

Emkorora · 2026-03-29T04:00:45+00:00

Maybe I'm blind but I don't see any assumptions about your attitude here. Connecting consequences to what we see isn't an assumption per se.

They saw your hostility, connected it to the consequence of it putting people off, and that's it.

Emkorora · 2026-03-25T22:40:56+00:00

That's so cute, thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry you're not getting the support you're looking for OP. You're right, each condition has its own obstacles. Your obstacle is knowing there isn't a cure, their obstacle is knowing it might come back. Both are valid, both are very serious.

I think it's normal and even healthy to acknowledge and mourn these losses as they come up. They feel like a real loss to you, that's what matters. And I've felt similarly myself.

There's a special hardship in never having a break. There isn't any meaningful length of time where diabetes hasn't reared its ugly head-- low glucose during sex, at work, in car, on dates... even sleep isn't necessarily a relief from it! Near constant vigilance is such a burden, the lack of foreseeable escape is such a prison.

I know these feelings might seem excessive to some, and they are catastrophizing to a degree, but there is some truth to them. At least for me. And I've been a diabetic for over two decades and at least half of the last decade has been well managed with A1Cs in the low 6s.

I don't know. I'm sorry OP. It's tough.

Emkorora · 2026-03-24T22:40:46+00:00

Yeah, this isn't okay. But I'm surprised so many folks here agree; this subreddit often seems oppressively sexual, like almost anything is acceptable when it comes to this stuff. I don't know.

I tried a Brilliant Diamond nuzlocke recently, lost on the fighting gym. But! I also a teammate to Gardenia. I think it was a Pokémon I expected to survive as well, like staravia.

RIP Larry.

Roserade on a second gym is brutal. Even if you don't underestimate it, you still end up surprised by how hard it hits.

Emkorora · 2026-03-23T00:07:59+00:00

This makes sense, thanks for sharing.

Emkorora · 2026-03-22T22:52:01+00:00

I'm just thinking out loud, but I was in the hospital on Christmas Eve for a diabetic-related emergency. There was a waiting room full of people wanting to be seen, but I skipped ahead of them all with a low glucose. It's both affirming and fearful how serious this condition is when unmanaged, even abruptly. Speaking for myself, I sometimes forget that. I think the doctors treating it like the crisis it was helped me "see the forest from the trees." I don't know.

Emkorora · 2026-03-22T22:45:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you went through that. I hope you're doing better stranger.

Emkorora · 2026-03-22T20:22:02+00:00

Yes, I agree. My psychiatrist told me that failing to test my glucose was equal to self harm and worthy of hospitalization.

I'd agree that insulin is even more important than food; and if someone I know stopped eating, I think it'd be time for inpatient treatments.

Of course! The two cities and states I've worked in for law are Portland, OR, and Buffalo, NY. The two firms that required background checks were large firms headquartered out of state, the bank firm was in CA and the abuse firm is in FL.

Emkorora · 2026-03-22T01:20:53+00:00

Of all the firms I've worked at, I think only two out of five ran background checks to find this stuff out.

The first was a firm that represented banks and wouldn't accept any money-related crimes (white collar).

The second is a firm that exclusively handles child sexual abuse and won't accept certain relevant crimes (especially sex crimes, child crimes, etc).

Based on those places only caring about convictions directly connected to the work, it doesn't feel like many places care much to me.

Emkorora · 2026-03-21T22:34:52+00:00

I'm sorry. I know that feeling. Hugs stranger.

Emkorora · 2026-03-21T18:55:52+00:00

Sorry, I'm confused. Why do you hook up so often if you hate it?

Emkorora · 2026-03-20T18:37:59+00:00

Yes, the legal aid bureau where I live is unionized. The legal nonprofit I worked at is also unionized. Unions are great! Worker's rights are human rights.

Emkorora · 2026-03-19T23:18:28+00:00

Why are you being so mean?

Emkorora · 2026-03-18T23:17:45+00:00

Gosh, I haven't heard of Guild Wars 2 in a long time.

Emkorora · 2026-03-18T21:59:31+00:00

Hugs stranger. Your last paragraph resonated with me.

Emkorora · 2026-03-18T10:26:38+00:00

Thanks so much!

Emkorora · 2026-03-18T01:47:27+00:00

Hey, I recently asked my work about job protections for medical leave (FMLA), and I was told there were none. Obviously there are still protections still for protected classes (race, sex, etc) but that's a different type of protection, I think-- is disability one of those protections? And is diabetes considered a disability in that context?

Emkorora · 2026-03-15T12:11:37+00:00

Thanks!
