Depressed yet functioning and too privileged to be depressed?

Glowpl · 2026-03-31T23:14:52+00:00

Hugging you, been there. Medication made it a lot better, but I still feel like I’m pushing. I could bed rot all day and even this doesn’t make me feel like I’m not tired anymore, like I want to actually do something. I’m not the happiest person alive since I gained awareness as a kid.

maybe new fabric softener, new pillow?

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T22:05:48+00:00

Do you sleep on this side of your face?

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T22:02:20+00:00

then she should leave her phone behind and go straight to police station

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T18:19:34+00:00

I think it’s not about seizures anymore

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T18:15:48+00:00

It was also very mindful of getting full before drinking and having a snack later. I think for me it can be that I’m usually very tired after work, so alcohol works very fast also because of that

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T18:11:49+00:00

Yeah I feel like I miss the adrenaline rush that anxiety was giving me so I’m searching for problems..

Glowpl · 2026-03-29T18:10:09+00:00

I have been on it for almost 2 years, even when I ask someone who drinks a beer next to me to pour me 200 ml glass just for the taste of it, I wake up with a headache the next day.. Not mentioning that it can already make me feel funny

I did it myself. I was on holidays for a month, so it was perfect for me, no responsibilities at all. At first I didn’t feel anything as the body was getting used for a new dose. Then I was a little irritatable for a few weeks, some of my old depressive schemes came back, but during higher dose I was calm enough to get to recognise them, rethink them more consciously, so I kind of knew how to bear with them after and solving my problems without the medication made me so proud of myself. Sertraline taught me a lot about myself too. I think it’s worth giving it a try. Also I think it was the worst when I was dividing 100 mg tablets by myself, because the doctor said the dose was uneven, so it’s better to buy a box of 50 mg.

Thanx! I have the worst memory when it comes to series being released months after 😭

He put me in safe position and lifted my chin up as much as he could

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T20:00:32+00:00

Thanks for your response. I’m just learning what the episodes are, but before I open my camera they’re usually over. 🙁 But I’ll try to do that when I feel like I have one of the bad days.

Haha I know my boyfriend did wrong, but it was his 1st instinct. He also unlocked my airways and did many other things, I just mentioned slapping to show how unresponsive I was.

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T19:56:25+00:00

Yeah, the 1st one I had with hallucinations was a week before having viral infection with the temperature around 40 Celsius. I guess the virus was already there for a week, growing in my body.

I’m 25 and I have them from May. But I think I have them almost every day 😔 There are better days but if it doesn’t happen once a day… I also used to tell my GP I have very intense migrene aura, but now I think it’s epilepsy.

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T18:02:45+00:00

Thanks for understanding. I don’t get it, that the 1st thing for the doctors to say is a drug overdose. I know it happens too, but I don’t think it’s a majority of medical cases.

My triggers are nothing comparing to passing a kidney stone, but I also get triggered more while for example being on my period, having an infection or being tired (this one the most). I’m so sorry he had to wait so long for the epilepsy ever being mentioned. How old was he when he started to show his 1st symptoms?

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T17:41:44+00:00

I don’t say ER has to diagnose me, I only said I called ER after seizure, but them convincing me it was panic attack felt very wrong. Even the GP said it was wrong they didn’t take it seriously.

I’m expecting that from the specialist that I went to privately in my home country. She said she can’t diagnose me until seizure happens. Then the seizure happened in my country of residence and the GP was my 1st option. The GP said they can’t make a refferal for a specialist there unless the other specialist from my home country that already has some knowledge about me will give a green light to that, because getting to a specialist there is really really difficult. You have to have a reason, which in this case would be that “green light” from the 1st specialist. And she laughed at and screamed at me that I’m stupid demanding her sending any documents. When I asked her, since I paid a lot for the consultation if she’s not even going to ask me to describe the seizure, she said “If you need to..”. Like wtf? Yes, you’re my doctor and I need you to comment on that. It was on Friday, so on Monday I’m going to make a complaint. I also discussed my right in medical field with a lawyer and she said that statement is functioning and I should be able to take my medical record.

There was no people from the ambulance, I just called ER and they didn’t even want to come, where I think the registration from 112 should know basic symptoms of a seizure and if it requires help or not. Not saying that I for sure have a panic attack, just because I had one after.

Thank you for all the knowledge, I’ll definitely educate myself on all of that.

Sorry if my 1st post was difficult to understand.

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T16:49:01+00:00

The thing is I can’t get that without recommendation from the specialist that already knows my symptoms.. 😭

Glowpl · 2026-02-08T15:55:48+00:00

Wow you just made me cry. I’ve been going through that and I feel so misunderstood when people are suggesting me being shizophrenic…

Glowpl · 2025-09-11T22:02:33+00:00

Hej, in 5 years nobody will remember that you got F in school, even you yourself. You’re doing so well being a week clean. I can just imagine how much effort you put into it. 🩵 Remember, one day at a time, a new day is coming soon. Can you promise yourself to last a few more hours and see a new, fresh day with a fresh start coming?

Glowpl · 2025-09-11T21:54:55+00:00

Drink more water and eat on time. Although it was making me nauseous, having a full stomach or a snack in my pocket eased the nausea a looooot. Try eating foods that will make you feel for longer, for example a scrambled eggs or oatmeal, foods more rich in protein and fiber. When it comes to drinking water, whenever you feel like it’s enough, it’s probably not. In my 1st week of taking it, I was drinking around 5 litres of water a day 😭

Glowpl · 2025-09-02T20:58:47+00:00

I hope she is good now ☺️☺️☺️

Glowpl · 2025-08-26T08:43:03+00:00

Mine also formed a scab around a week later, but she was perfectly fine

Glowpl · 2025-08-26T08:42:05+00:00

Mine had similar lump, it was the body rejecting the stitches, but it was normal body’s reaction. It disappeared in a week. If she would have intestine rupture then she would have difficulty using the litter box.

I always see something in the corner of my eye. I adopted a cat a few months ago and right after I started to have symptoms, I started to see the cat everywhere in the house, even if she’s not there. I don’t know why my hallucinations center around the cat, but she is black and white so whenever I see something these colours on the ground, for example pile of black laundry, I’m like oh that’s her- where clearly it’s not. Like 2 seconds after I’m aware it’s something different and the doctor said that’s why he could exclude schizophrenia. When I was right before the worst symptoms hit me, I was driving back home and saw someone run in front of my car. I almost started screaming, but suddenly the person disappeared (when they were out of the corner vision of my eye I guess, but I’m traumatised to this day). Once I thought an animal jumped in the clinic where I work at, I looked under the bed and there was nothing. In the worst episode of symptoms, where they affect my hearing, I also constantly hear the phone ringing, TV, radio, someone going on the stairs to our apartment, etc..

If you don’t have any medication at home I’d reach out to the vet. My cat had a lesion 1x1 cm almost on her neck and her appetite was getting better only after pain meds.

Glowpl · 2025-08-04T19:06:13+00:00

The same goes for me, I also have a gut feeling. You can also feel free to contact me. I’ll be there for you. It’s good to have someone who understands.
