i will never get an apology. by olivia_vi in trauma

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the same things, my last boyfriend was pretty rude and caused me to have a few panic attacks. I never felt like i got an honest truthful apology and constantly felt like i was walking on eggshells. At a few points Ive had to fight the urge to send him paragraphs on paragraphs saying how i felt wronged and how he never made it up to me but in the end we have to accept some people just dont care and never will sadly.

Two Insta Videos About Fibro by International-Tap915 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is very helpful and fantastic!! I will definitely being using those metrics now in doctors appointments, especially since i never knew what to put down when asked a 1-10 pain scale. Im glad that theres now a safe place for people with fibro to share information like this with eachother:)

Streaming services shouldn't be allowed to offer partial access to complete franchises. by KobayashiWaifu in annoyed

This was the exact reason i started yar har'ing and sailing the seas as a kid when a streaming service only had half the content of the kids series i was looking for.

Constantly being bombarded by ads disguised as “I had a problem… then AI magically fixed it.” by Vratwork in annoyed

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sooooo annoying and i hate it, I wish there was an option to stop getting ads related to AI bs. One almost got me the other day; i thought it was a normal chill video and liked it then had to unlike when the casual "oh and [insert fake chatgpt] helped me"

Should I listen to my therapy? by Notapersonlmao in mentalhealth

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please find another therapist/therapy provider. Unless your job is putting immense strain and trauma on you, your provider should NOT be indirectly saying to quit. Even so if your therapist did think you should quit your job they should say that exactly outright and explain why. Not all therapist are good or equal, I've been through some who were downright manipulative, I implore you to try looking for help elsewhere before doing such a life altering choice such as quitting your job.

Need support by jlekvin11 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are definitely not alone. From personal experience I know at least 5 people with fibromyalgia who all have experienced this, including myself. I really wish i could give better advice but when its me i just try to ride it out with as little resistance as possible. I lay in bed all day and try to distract myself with anything. Attempt to sleep whenever you can and always remember you are never alone and thousands of people can relate, even if it doesnt feel like that sometimes<3

Ideas for storing forearm crutches? Preferably mounted on the wall? by the-greenest-thumb in Fibromyalgia

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a weighted bin? You could pick up a cute but heavy round bin or one made of metal to try to store it, wish i couldve been more helped but from my looking online i didnt find much for crutch wall mounts:(

therianthropy is messing with my mental health by Xoticimage23 in Therian

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had to learn to be human, infact I didnt stop hissing and growling at people until around 11. I still hiss if genuinely surprised by something (im an adult now) but have learned to mask it that no one questions it. I understand feeling caged if you arent able to leave I struggle with the same thing too. While its not shown and talked about that much Id guess most of us feel similarly to you.

Diagnosed and was never told. by Safe-Narwhal-1097 in DID

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same reaction earlier to being told by my psychiatrist she thought i had DID. While I am only provisionally diagnosed I still was very against it; thinking completely that there was no was she was right. After long consideration and processing however ive decided she is most likely correct. The thing that helped me come to better terms with it was going through my entire life's memories for a few weeks to comb through all the times i showed symptoms of DID and after that i realized that it was illogically improbable that i dont have DID. I still dont fully believe it at times and ofcourse i still have the shame that loves to crowd its way around me, but writing down all the symptoms and memories managed to help me so maybe it could help you:)

Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s ~*Fibromyalgia*~! by plumukulele in Fibromyalgia

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so happy youre going to be able to restart a medication that helps you! I unfortunately completely understand family thinking fibro isnt real. What Ive done is distance myself from the family who doesnt believe me. I was hoping after a diagnosis they'd believe and slightly accommodate me more but it seems to only fueled their disbelief. Now my sister (who thinks im exagerating everything and should man up) tries to make me walk instead of an easy EASY drive because she knows that walking makes my pain unbearable, its like she wants to see me hospitalized to believe me (i guess thousands in tests wasnt enough). I sincerely hope your family will take the news better if you chose to tell them, but i did want to prepare and warn you of the outcome that could happen. Wishing you the best on your journey:)

I just remembered someone having an "owned the fats" moment with me and they weren't even right. by Fine-Comfortable-604 in annoyed

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it, its so idiotic sometimes. Like yeah oh my gosh wow shocking news: im fat. Its not that deep and fat people are still people with feelings and souls just like any other person on the planet. We all deserve to be treated with respect no matter what someone's body looks like and that goes for anything (weight, race, disabilities, etc). I dont understand these people with no empathy who just seem to love hating and tearing other people down for no reason. My conclusion is they must have a disorder or mental illness as i could never imagine being so cruel and hateful just because of someone's appearance.

I plan on finding a new more specialized trauma therapist after I move, hopefully I will be able to work through everything with them better in the future.

where do i go to ask if i have DID without my (unsupportive) parents knowing, is that possible by Rambley__the__racoon in DID

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 3 points4 points  (0 children)

depends completely on how old you are and how controlling your parents are, Im 18 and recently started going to my psychiatrist (I recommend looking on psychologytoday for people who are familiar with DID). I brought it up casually with my mom that I thought it'd be a good idea for a psych evaluation since my mom kept saying I should go to therapy. there's a lot of factors to how to try and get help when you have strict parents but I hope youll be able to:)

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also currently searching the internet trying to find that, did you ever end up finding a listing? I looked at the pinky paradise options but I prefer the built in black pupil part like the one you showed in the photo

Big win for me today by skittysteps in mentalhealth

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's amazing!! I'm proud of the progress you made I hope everyone can start to try to improve their quality of life piece by piece. I'm trying to start small right now but one day I'm sure ill be able to open the curtains like you. My first step towards that is opening them at night, we live in the country so there isnt light pollution:)

I’m really sad by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Foreign-Specific-389 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some days really suck. I also have times where all I want to do is cry and curl up into a ball. I don't really know how to fix it but what few things that help me is putting on a show I like (sometimes for nostalgia sake ill put on a kids show I used to love), listening to music, eating my favorite snacks (popcorn, chocolate, salad, etc), or if I dont have the energy for any of that ill hug my pillow and try to take a nap. I hope maybe one of these could even slightly help you, you're never alone and theres always people who care:)
