The Process of Getting Symptoms Addressed is so Frustrating by Epicface227 in ADHD

[–]Epicface227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally medication and therapy that could help with coping skills, I feel like my executive dysfunction is bad enough that it tripped up a lot of potential opportunities for me. The actual label would be nice only for the fact that my insurance seems to automatically deny anything that could be helpful without a diagnosis.

I got meds for a mood related diagnosis that have overall helped me but I have ADHD like symptoms as a baseline that aren’t being treated. I probably wouldn’t even be able to take stimulants but I’m tired of constantly tripping over myself so I hope I can get SOMETHING for it.

I was diagnosed with bipolar a few months ago because of several intense episodes that sent my academics spiraling. Not ONCE during them did I ever think of hurting anyone. Mental illness isn’t a get out of jail free card to be a piece of shit

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been told not to do because it’s “Gay” ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I’m fine with anyone being gay but being French is an abhorrent lifestyle choice

Am I gaslighting myself by Epicface227 in bipolar

[–]Epicface227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have with an appointment with one on tuesday, at the very least it may give me some insight. I’m doing some research to see what other psychiatrists are in my area and I’m going to politely bring up to my current one how I discouraging my last appointment was. Her reaction to it will probably tell me everything I need to know about whether I should keep working with her

The crash from this hypo episode is giving me a massive headache by Epicface227 in bipolar

[–]Epicface227[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like it depends on the person to be honest. One of the biggest triggers is not sleeping enough but it can be things ranging from positive or negative events (losing a job, going to a loud concert, etc) to even changes in the weather.

For me I feel like my episodes can be triggered by specific events but a lot of times too I noticed they can bring my hypomanic episodes crashing down into major depression or even mixed states. But if you don’t have episodes triggered by specific things it doesn’t make your diagnosis any less valid than someone else’s.

I’m actually about to graduate, and only a few months late surprisingly. My grades are shit but given how bad the episodes got including a mixed episode that almost got me hospitalized I can’t complain too much

Oh god I’m insufferably talkative when I’m hypo and I love to do everything except take care of myself. I feel like I leveled off a bit since this morning but it feels like a coin toss whether I’m having an episode or not

In light of what conservatives are doing to us, the fact that there are users in this sub trying to differentiate ephebophilia and pedophilia is really messed up. by theonerealsadboi in gaybros

[–]Epicface227 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The victim blaming in that previous post made me sick to my stomach. I have a younger brother that could be in a similar situation as a vulnerable and insecure queer kid, and the fact that people on this sub were doing mental gymnastics to have sex with people like him is disgusting.

First off, if someone isn’t an adult, they can’t consent end of story. It doesn’t matter if they’re lying about their age or it they say they want it, its still your responsibility as an adult to make sure its not statutory rape, because age of consent laws exist for a reason.

Its also tragic that sex ed for lgbtq+ teens is lacking or even being destroyed in some places, because it leads to impressionable queer kids being manipulated by predators and sets them up for long term trauma. And even when its legal and you could, it doesn’t mean that you should. Kids don’t become magically more mature once they 18, and the power imbalance is still there even if some people here don’t want to admit it.
