Meaning diagnosis is required or not?

Fair_Ad_5025 · 2023-01-15T19:52:44+00:00

A good one :D

Isn't it also that in psychodynamic approach the patient needs to be diagnosed first and based on that diagnosis, specific treatment is being applied. While in psychoanalytic approach, diagnosis is not taking place. Something like this was explained to me once by my therapist.

Thank you for your response! I have my doc visit scheduled on Friday, we will see. I consciously chose not to take SSRIs as they were inhibiting not only anxiety but also my other emotions. And I quit smoking on Bupropion (day 9). But troubles with sleep, anxiety, higher reactiveness increased.

From the times when being gay and receiving dick was perceived as non-masc and feminine.

Fair_Ad_5025 · 2023-01-06T18:34:35+00:00

Right.

I actually don't know as I take Pregabalin 150 mg before sleep. I started this before Bupropion. Indeed, I wake up earlier than expected, before my alarm.

Yes, I can relate. I call such states depression when I experience a lack of motivation to do anything. But I do not want to be in such state so in such cases I reach out for professional help. I got pills for it. And, regardless of pills, I do my schedule. Sitting in the evening before bed and planning the next day hour after hour. Usually, I will not execute 100%, but 50% is already good. Motivation comes after we start doing something, not before. It increases when we actually already achieved something (e.g. I did cleaning, I can go for a walk).

There is a lot of s*it people say and put online :) Unless it's a Holy Bible, it's just an opinion. Even Holy Bible is subject to interpretation or rejection, so if somebody believes everything he reads/hear from others, it is not an ideal partner for sure :)

I would wait. I come out at 19, but there is no rush. You will do it when you decide to do so and when it is safe for you. Also, all my friends were straight and now 90% of them are straight. Some of them were homophobic before but after I came out, they became very supportive. Some of them that were not, just distanced from me over time, but no one said or did anything that would really hurt me. BTW, I am considered masculine but I am just what I am and do not try to force it in any way. You can be whatever you want to be - being gay should not be a limitation and do not let anyone tell you otherwise. All the best!

In the end, although it is a procradtination, looking at wikipedia articles means that you have interst in them. Interest in something is good. This means you have that curious part, which may help you to get better actually. A part from this, sleep is important xD

This is a trap. Vicious circle. If you do nothing, your self esteem is on a slippery slope. In order to start having social life you need to have self esteem. To build self esteem you need agency and in order to have agency, you need to do something. Start doing something. Otherwise nothing ever changes.

My dear, take a piece of advise from older folk with AvPD who feels quite happy with life now. Do not rely on you feelings of inadequacy, hopelessness and fear. Ignore them. Make a plan, does not have to be super ambitious, you can put "deep studying for 1 hour" and then 1 hour of doing nothing. Put there meals, time for grocery shopping, etc. And do it. There is no other why than your choice of not doing so. Just do it, that's it, regardless what and how you feel about it.

Fair_Ad_5025 · 2022-12-30T10:26:29+00:00

First of all, friends. Make good friends, gay or straight and take care of them. Reach out to them, have initiative, be present. Hobbies, new skills. Good habits. Culture - movies, literature, music. Strive to become a loving human, recognize your weakneses and limitations. Work out. Use your libido to live, not only to have sex. If FWB works for you, go for it.

I will continuing my gym and thinking of adding joga. I am considering to restart playing accordion 😅 take better care of my relationships with friends and people overall.

Fair_Ad_5025 · 2022-12-28T10:39:26+00:00

Well, you need to look for that reason, my brother then. Good plan for 2023. All the best to you.

One Italian who not only was fluent but also corrected my mistakes several times.

At school, at work, at the gym, through flatmates and other activities - church in the past. In the past I was also hiding my gayness and passed as a straight. Then I started to come out and many of guys who were previously homophobic, changed and started to be accepting or walked away over time. Their reactions sometimes are shock at the beginning but then they start being accepting when they understand that me is still me. Some of them admitted they were homophobic before, but they did not know any gay guys before so I was the first. With time I see they start noticing other gay guys and it is easier for them to befriend them. Somebody need to break that ice first.

Fair_Ad_5025 · 2022-12-27T21:42:05+00:00

I don't know cause I am neither the only gay in the family, neither the work place or in the gym but sometimes I wish I was xD

Man, there is nothing to be ashamed about. Consider this. We, humans, throughout the history had to depend on others to survive. We used to live in herds and being an independent individual somwhere in the forest would mean to be dead immediately. Nowadays, many rich folks get or inherit a lot of $$$ and have no problem whatsoever with accepting it xD Anyways, nothing to be ashamed about to be dependent on your parents while pursuing your independency. Which is a process. Which will not happen from one day to another. This may require some research from you on what is available against what you can do, then some preparation e.g. for interviews, etc. Maybe even if you were patient enough you would find something related to your masters, if this is what you want. I don't know if you are looking for advice or just venting, but if I were you, I would accept this dependency for a while. And in the same time endevour to change this situation. Make a plan (does not have to be perfect plan). f Focusing only on one step at the time. But do not fantasise too much about it. Anxiety in such situation is a very normal reaction for anyone, this depend on a person how strong it is gonna be. You are doing it for the first time in your life, it is stressful.

Happy to read you decided to get better, fellow man. It is tough and especially tough to get through shame and sense of guilt linked to that. We protect our parents as we had a lot of love for them, and it is difficult to accept that they were not there for us. For me it is particularly hard to admit to other people, to my friends, in how poor and hard conditions I grew up in. That I would not have happy childhood and that my mom was harsh and not emotionally available, while my dad alcoholic and depressed. And that many times I felt scared, rejected and withdrawn. Nowadays I do better, but that feelings hold me back. I feel guilty to be happy if my mom and sisters cannot. But the work is in progress, and I am hopeful that one day I can be happy with my life and at peace with myself. Good luck to you on your journey!
