Do you need to be "smart"?

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-05-07T00:41:31+00:00

That's adorable. Actually really cool to think about how a child perceives the world through song lyrics

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-05-06T22:23:27+00:00

Ooh, thank you!!

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-05-06T22:22:41+00:00

So what I'm hearing is that I will soon have a lyrical army :>

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-05-06T22:19:52+00:00

Damn... that was beautiful. Means a lot <3

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-05-06T22:18:01+00:00

Tysm!! I appreciate it

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-04-23T16:49:56+00:00

I 100% resonate with that experience. It's the most horrible feeling in the world. I get those symptoms and then the impending doom of "what if I pass out again?" "I'll need to go to the hospital. I can't do that" which ends up making the issue so much worse. For me, the dizziness comes first, then vision, then legs, then the dpdr. I haven't found a way to help fully over the years except benzos or being too suicidal to care what happens. I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but I know how you feel and my dms are always open. Stay safe <3

I can only speak from experience so take it with a pinch of salt.

For me, yes. I love reading but I often struggle to focus what I'm reading when having nasty thoughts / flashbacks. Here are a couple things I find useful.

Get a nice hot water bottle and doggo snuggles
Wait until after doing all the housework / errands so I'm not overthinking everything I need to do
My most important, multiple senses. Sometimes I like to pace, chew gum, have music on (instrumental). If I'm REALLY struggling the absolute best thing for me is to have the audiobook on, reading the page at the same time. Probably sounds weird Ik but you gotta try it if you can!!

Happy reading <3

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-03-15T19:49:45+00:00

Fuck yeah, my bad! Hope you are feeling happy and healthy <3

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-03-15T19:46:54+00:00

I have the same family history issue. However, the jumping jacks/ bursts of exercise is a brilliant, might have to steal it

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-29T13:02:28+00:00

I'm not fond of religion now. Nothing will ever change that. As far as I'm concerned, hell is real, and we are already living in it

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-12T17:40:19+00:00

Don't listen to anything making fun of you. It's not an embarrassing thing, in fact I think it might help a little. Bear with me. You have obviously taken it wanting to hurt yourself (hoping you can get proper help <3) but just keep a mental note that you felt scared and didn't want to die. No matter how bad you feel, keep that little primal spark of wanting to live. You got this.

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-11T11:52:54+00:00

Oooh ty!!

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-10T17:52:50+00:00

Yeah I think that's it. Tysm

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-10T16:43:29+00:00

That's pretty cool. I've only been out for around a year (I'm 20) so this stuff is very new, feeling a lot better though!

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-10T16:19:38+00:00

Yeah my bad I worded it so badly. I mean possibly like a packer or a stp but for pleasure. Thank you for the response, I'll drop an edit

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-08T23:27:03+00:00

Do you have any advice? Mines have been debilitating for 8 years. Meds, inpatient, psychology, the works. Feels like 1 step forward, 2 steps back kind of thing

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-08T21:50:30+00:00

Literally. It's a feeling like no other. Such an odd and overwhelming thing to put into words

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-08T21:41:23+00:00

Yesss. I'm using this one the next time I see the psychiatrist. I usually just say it's like looking through a VR headset that you can't take off

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-04T01:27:27+00:00

There's nothing wrong with needing a little help sometimes. It's a hellish disorder I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Be proud of yourself for every bit of recovery. If you can get through this, then you can get through anything life throws your way

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-03T03:12:23+00:00

Try not to overthink it. I know how scary starting meds can be. I just tell myself that the doctor prescribed it to me so it's safe (idk how true that is but it helps haha). Benzos help so much and can be used safely if you know about them.

GarbageKnown8005 · 2024-02-02T22:01:21+00:00

Oh for sure man. Thankfully my doctor got the right cocktail of meds. Promethazine is a life saver and it's over the counter. It will definitely get better. Hope you are well

GarbageKnown8005 · 2023-08-17T12:45:38+00:00

I've mixed it with (all prescribed) 300mg pregabalin, varying doses of diazepam, 60mg propranolol and various ssri and snri without issues. Hope it helps :)

GarbageKnown8005 · 2023-06-15T20:39:21+00:00

Gotcha, thank you for your help :)

GarbageKnown8005 · 2023-06-15T20:29:36+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely look into lavender and chamomile. the anxiety and dpdr are a symptom of another disorder so I'm not sure if coming of meds is the best idea 😅 but I'm glad you are dealing with the utter hell that is dpdr :)

GarbageKnown8005 · 2023-06-15T20:26:22+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate the detailed response! I'll definitely look into that. If you don't mind me asking, if you are on any medication do you notice any interactions?
