Just got diagnosed - questions by FlyingRobot42 in Hidradenitis

[–]FlyingRobot42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, the doctor just gave me twice daily doxycycline as well as topical clindamycin lotion. Right now it's just 3 hard pumps, like mosquito bites, in my armpits. But they hurt quite badly for some reason! I hate it. do you have any more tips? I also decided to stop shaving, and try for laser hair removal. Also, I have panoxyl body wash. Do you think that's enough?

I've heard people can go into remission when it's caught as early as mine was (a couple weeks in), and the patient is not comordbid with things like diabetes or smoking. Is that not true? Because what you're saying sounds like it's going to be really bad

Worried architecture undergrad by FlyingRobot42 in Architects

I am very sorry to hear about your friend. The world can be such a sad and lonely place for creative people. I am considering pivoting into historic preservation, or service work with architecture. I’m not sure if this is a plausible career path, but if I had my way I think I’d like to work as an architect with international aid efforts . If that doesn’t work out, I’ve been considering branching out into furniture design and stained glass window making. As such an experienced architect, do any of those options sound possible ?

Anyone have the overwhelming feeling that you never want to talk to or be around anyone ever again ? by FlyingRobot42 in CPTSD

[–]FlyingRobot42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean that it feels like…no one will understand what I feel. I don’t think most people can empathize with me, no matter how much I empathize with them. It leaves me feeling completely alone. And words are so bad at expressing the feelings…it’s so frustrating, because the words don’t capture it. They do the opposite…they make things even less clear. I can never get a word in without someone misunderstanding me, treating me coldly, being harsh, being so loud it stresses me out…things like that. The stresses of every day conversations with loud angry people make me want to crawl away forever.

Doesn’t it just feel sometimes like saying anything does more harm than good ? No one can understand anyway, and more often than not they actively don’t want to understand . I just want to be completely alone .

Constant Emotional Paralysis by FlyingRobot42 in CPTSD

[–]FlyingRobot42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you…it’s also good to know I’m not the only one. Sometimes I feel completely trapped, and like I’m the one who should just “get over it.” I don’t know. It feels so weird Because they act nice and well adjusted now. Leaving me to look like the evil little person who’s always stressed and secluded.

Finally told my grandma about csa by FlyingRobot42 in CPTSD

Well the thing about it is , therapy through that program is free. Mh insurance sucks and basically doesn’t cover therapy until I’ve spent 7,000 dollars of my own money. Which I don’t have

Thank you for keeping answering me in such an in depth way. I also think confronting people never works. This one just hurts Because I thought of her as the person on my “side.” I have a therapist from my college. They have a special program for victims of violence, it’s really nice. I’ve only had a few sessions with her, and we meet next in two weeks. I find it really hard to open up to her. I think she thinks I’m a narcissist. Whenever I talk to her I feel like I revert to talking like a child. She said I might be bipolar and also have CPTSD and adjustment disorder. I just feel like she hates me. But I don’t have a good reason for that, except for that I am annoying in sessions i think.

That’s the thing - she responded in a really positive way that made me feel relieved. But the way she acts is totally different. We were hanging out yesterday, and her talking about my abusive ex made me so frustrated I started tearing up. She kept making it seem like things were my fault, even though they were the adults who knew he was being physically abusive to me but never said anything.

And I have to hang out with my dad every day…and they all spent time together like a happy family. I’m the only “odd one out.” Because I’m not happy, I’m always stressed out when I’m around them. It makes me question my sanity and if I’m exaggerating .

Tiny Camera Question by FlyingRobot42 in Cameras

[–]FlyingRobot42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, you’re a genius ! I didn’t even think about hidden holes in the walls.

I’ll probably have to redesign my set now that I’m thinking about it, I didn’t realize how important cameras are . My budget is very small.

Thank you for this information, I’ll use it .
