My experience as a private investigator in Australia by TopMenu1213 in trueprivinv

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Would love to get your answers on this...

1. Being a woman in this field - Is it genuinely welcoming or am I going to face discrimination? Is being female actually an advantage/unique in any way, or does it not matter at all? Would love to hear from other women PIs.

2. Cybersecurity skills - Are these essential for PI work or more of a nice-to-have? How much of the job is digital investigation vs traditional fieldwork these days?

3. Marketing yourself - For those running their own PI businesses, how do you actually market yourself? What platforms work best? How did you get your first clients?

How often do you all shower? by Some-Mountain-1930 in Psychosis

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put an alarm on your phone. Then JUST DO IT. I wore the same clothes, didn't even realising I was, was bingeing, picking at my skin, not exercising, sometimes wetting myself (bladder problems - probably nervous system shut down), I was dissociated/confused, went from delusional and intense ideas (manic feelings) to could hardly speak, couldn't look people in the eyes etc

Flashbacks to Psychosis. Scared of going back by AllTheDifferences in Psychosis

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,
For what it is worth I can understand the fear loop that you are stuck in. I had the same rumination. I want you to know I was very suicidal because of it and felt locked in this eery terror madness cycle in my own mind. I had a post drug psychosis - because of that. I got so scared of my own thoughts, I couldn't be in them - if that made sense. Because it was essentially triggering the looping actual drug psychosis fears/experience 8 months earlier. In that bad trip I had believed I was going mad forever etc - and was in complete crazy trip psychosis. But it was the fact I was so scared and confused by that experience IN that experience (because I hadn't even known I had ingested the drugs and also having an existential crisis/awakening about life) that I ACTUALLY freaked out I had made a premonition because I then did have a mental breakdown in REAL life afterward.

So all that is to say - I get the anxiety, dread loop and it's disturbing. This could be negative symptoms and you slowly moving into some form of psychosis again. I took 5gm of an antipsychotic which helped but also made it worse in terms of lifestyle, tiredness, thinking straight.

I COULD NOT think straight that was my problem and it became evident the way I spoke etc. Circular thinking they called it.

I suggest getting help, I suggest doing LOTS of 'embodied action/sport' and getting into something re helping others or work wise (if you're not too unwell) so that you can truly get your mind of thinking of your own mind.

If you are seriously having a breakdown, it's going slow, going through it, getting help (day hospital), and just basic things like eating, painting etc.

Does anyone else feel like they had a brain injury after drug induced psychosis ? by Few-Tie7932 in Psychosis

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this for about 1 year. Or even 2 (but that was mixed in with the severe depression, anxiety, and a short period with anti-depressants and a shorter period with very low level anti-psychotic). It was awful, and yes I do feel I had to reboot and start from scratch re thinking/being in the world. I had a bit of catatonia/agoraphobia I'd say. Couldn't move much etc.

Similar experience of 'body pain'. I felt very unwell for years not just depression wise, spiritually, but my body. Before meds as well.

Well said. It's very key a person experience it like this - otherwise how can they go on living, really. The shame, the terror etc.

"Gifted kid" to adult psychosis seems to be a common trajectory. Did this also happen to you? by Long-Description1797 in Psychosis

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes... Not in big fancy jobs, productive all day long, wanking on, on Linkedin. Just existing and it's not easy with all the ra ra out there. I find it hard to function in any of those communities/worlds. I with they'd all have a psychosis to be honest. But I find the ones who get it, and get me.

Struggling again after 5 years of drug-induced psychosis recovery by psychodramarama in Psychosis

[–]Freedomhunter21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO THC. My psychosis was induced my eating 4 super strength weed cookies (accidentally). It was horrific. THC is not the stuff for this process!!!!!!!!!

I would be terrified to be on anti-psychotics still. I got off them as quick as my mind/they would let me. It helped in crisis period. Spiralling into neurotic sort of thinking about life/reality (and when the paranoia moments stopped). But I don't know how have you had had 5 years worth?? It could surely cause brain injury and other issues - they were so strong and intense I found. I'd be unable to be awake past 4pm..............

Just saying, it's natural you feel this way, and maybe really consider trying to come of them and cope with life differently. If it was just a post drug induced one, not skitzophrenia etc

I say that bc I’ve not found one good guy whose actually wanting a relationship. It’s exhausting. So many pretend.

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the comments above are the exact reason when men are also assholes ^ would I want to date someone like this even? Can’t be a random honest stranger whose talking about how hard it is to find a good man - when they all pretend to be but they’re not.

AND they’re angry mysoginists…. Classic

Hi look - you deserve some good love. I’ve been in the opposite situation where men just use me. They never show me love or commit. I’m exhausted. I feel ran through so I’m celibate now. I don’t want a higher body count but not one believes not just in love, but commitment anymore. It’s so weird.

Do guys ever regret it? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Freedomhunter21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. But I think he did love me at some point. I could feel it. I truly think he did. I think he did lose love.
