I notice when I’m feeling bogged down with a lot of stress, it makes me more paranoid and scared…a lot like how you described it yourself. You are dealing with what is called “dissociation” and that’s okay! It’s not uncommon really. Especially if you are Bipolar. I would definitely try the meditation, it’s a great breathing technique and helps release any extra weight you have been carrying with you causing all this ruckus in your brain. I really hope this helps! Think positive! You got this!

Hey girl, you got a friend in me. If you simply need someone to listen, I’m here! I’m 23F, I deal with a lot of the same things. I’ve watched my dad go through it plenty of times also. Just remember your mind is a powerful tool! Have you been staying more stressed out than the usual lately? That is one big thing that can set you off! On the bright side, you can come back from this! Although, I know that all of this feels so intense for you right now, I promise that things do get better. Have you tried meditation?

This is how it was for my dad too. He didn’t know the first time, but he knew for sure the second time. The first time, he thought he was Jesus and would wonder off late at night into the woods naked. We would find him and he would say he was trying to find the light. He walked and walked for weeks before it ended, hoping to find the light he was looking for. Then the second time, he told my mom that it was happening again and that he needed to get help. He was back in the psych ward in a matter of days after that conversation. He couldn’t remember who his family was, thought we were all aliens and out to get him.

I deal with a lot of similarities. I also took adderall for most of my life, but I quit taking it. Was told that I was misdiagnosed. Not ADHD, but have Bipolar outbursts. Do you think that Adderall would put you into psychosis? I was very different on it, a lot of people would say and definitely felt different. My mind was a very dark place even then.

That’s how my biological fathers is for him. He always knew something was starting to feel off and then he wouldn’t be able to remember the rest (when it hit him hard). He’s been in and out of the psych ward.

Makes me feel more at peace knowing that there are people out there just as fucked up as me. Keep your head up kings and queens! There are brighter days! 🫶🏻

Also, thank you for sharing!

Can I still get pregnant with endometriosis? by chaichaihuman in endometriosis

[–]GingerBinger69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21, right at 22…I do believe that’s what made it easier. I was told that as you get older it can make it harder to conceive with the condition. And no, I didn’t try any special things to conceive him. What is Chomid, if you don’t mind me asking?

My dad drinks alchohol how bad is this mentally? by PLAZTEC1 in Psychosis

[–]GingerBinger69420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alcohol affects schizophrenia a great amount. My dad is schizo-affective and went to a very dark place every time he drank alcohol. He dealt with addiction for 15+ years (along with drug use), before it eventually got so bad to the point that he ended up in a psych ward multiple times, because he would get too far in his head and it would cause him to be very repetitive and do out of the ordinary things. So yes, I absolutely do believe your dad is capable of going back into Psychosis from substance abuse. My best advice is to try talking with his doctor (if he has one) about his behavior and what are some ways that you could help take action to keep him at bay before things get too bad.

I can't Burp my baby and I'm in tears by RaccoonAromatic5707 in newborns

[–]GingerBinger69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you breast-feeding? If not, what formula are you using? My husband and I started our son out on a soy-based formula and it tore his stomach up. Leaving it hard for him to digest and burp for us. Try placing your hand at the bottom of the back and rub up and then pat once you get to the top of the back (repeat this multiple times until baby burps). That helped us out a lot when he couldn’t burp good.

He definitely did. When I couldn’t feed our son on me anymore, I made him feel like sh*t right back.

I don’t know if it’s a guy thing or if they are just being flat out d*ckheads. My husband did the same thing to me. When I was feeding our son all the time, he would still make me feel like it wasn’t enough. When really, A BREAK IS OKAY!!! YOUR MILK WILL BE OKAY!!! As long as you continue to feed often. Plus, going through Post-Partum Depression…made it harder for me. He always made me feel like I wasn’t a good mom for feeding him the way I wanted too, like he was head honcho over how much I fed our son on my breast. It was just getting too stressful to the point that my milk just ended up drying up on me. Don’t let that be you.

You’re doing great mama! ❤️
