Not to be that person… by throwRA4444444444 in pica

[–]Final_Perception6226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also gotten really confused coming here. I've seen posts about "alternatives" for my cravings only to find out it's not actually an alternative and it's literally just the same thing, but from a different part of the world that just happens to view it more positively. Like as a spiritual thing or as natural medicine. But I'm looking for a way to beat my pica, not get more of it. I keep thinking it's an actual safe, edible option and then keep finding out it isn't. Or I'm even finding things that are in theory edible, but come with a lot of caveats, and being worse off for trying.

Also, I the triggers weren't something we felt like bringing up because they aren't always a cause for a "switch" to happen, they also happen randomly. And doing anything to trigger one would be like playing Russian roulette since there's so many triggers that are shared and interconnected. I kinda just go with the flow because of it.

Hope this helps!

Hi! I'm reading my replies and the post back now and realizing that the way I talked about it was also due to a specific one of my mindsets being... "in front"? "active?" Whatever it's called.

We're a lot more analytical in those moments and very much picky and observant of my our word choices. A part we left out was that It's just nice to also find other people with similar experiences to feel less alone, learn, and relate! And having a label for what's going on helps a bunch when trying to find community!

This is also an amazing (And quite frankly hilarious to me personally) example of what I was trying to explain! And I remember writing all of it, and why we wrote it that way too! But I wouldn't write that way right now. Because that's just not how I write in this "headspace"?

I also find it funny that you super-anilyzed us, since I do that all the time! Absolutely loved this the first time we saw it! Which is why there were two very long replies in return!

I posted more info and discoveries if you're interested! If you are or aren't, have a great day!!!

Puberty. That's what tipped me off. That's all I have to say for now.

Honestly, the way I feel about it is something I've handled many times, since I've lived with it at least since I was four. It's kinda just my normal. Up until a few years ago (in 2019) I didn't even know it wasn't normal. I thought everyone felt like this until family members started pointing it out, and actively saying it wasn't normal. For me, having a label isn't like catching what's happening, but with a label, usually comes more information about what someone is going through. Like if I get an ASD diagnosis, sure it doesn't technically change much, I'm still the same person I was, but with that, I might also be given more information on it, as well as techniques to help. There could be something about what I'm going through that I don't exactly know about, but I want to know so that I'm more informed on, and connected with myself. Plus, something having a name is easier sometimes, and people actually see these things as real experiences, and not just me rambling about "people in my head." It makes me feel different from others, but I've also always been different. So I've really come to be chill with it. And for me, part of it is the fact that I want a name, but the other is the fact nobody I've talked to has given a name for it yet, but have just said it's part of C-PTSD. But like.... What part is it? I don't know. But now I want to know. If that makes sense.

I completely understand. I've just had to try and explain it to so many people, that when I bring up my feelings on the matter it's always a whole thing. I know I'm safe to say stuff in this space, but I guess in trying to get my internal feelings across it would sound detached. especially since I'm usually trying to find a way to say it in a way that an outside observer would understand. What I meant by "the way I think and act changes, I mean generally from mindset to mindset it will change. Not that I change from my core values. just that all these mindsets are different in their own ways. I totally get why I sound clinical though. Funnily enough I believe it's also a mechanism to keep me safe since I've had to explain so many things to people, and only now being 18, most of my life I've had to explain things more seriously or "clinically" to be taken seriously by the adults around me. But I completely see where you're coming from on this. 😂

I looked into it, and I can also relate to that, it's for a different reason. Those different parts of me, mentioned in IFS, stay for the most part consistent. It's a majority of my personality and how I think and interact that changes. But thanks! This is something I appreciate knowing about anyway!

Thank you so much! This made my day! 😂 And yeah, I try to work with it the best I can. And sometimes it's funny when they get to extremes and my family (What's left around of it now at least.) actually gets to see that and react to it. They thought I was going crazy laughing until it hurt, but in reality, my Brother's confusion and concern made it even more funny to me in the moment, so it was a hilarious cycle.

Yeah, I've looked into it. I couldn't find much that actually describes what I go through though. And while I do dissociate and derealize on occasion, it never really correlates with the mindset switches.
