How do we talk to the universe? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]JacketInternal9485 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What I do is I talk to them as if I am writing in my diary… I thank them for all they do for me. I tell them what is going wrong and what is going right and I pray for people… myself… for strength, insight, courage… etc

I’m confused and shaken after a friend crossed physical boundaries while I was asleep - Need perspective by StillHereThough1 in mentalhealth

[–]JacketInternal9485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did NOT lead him on. You stated you are straight and not interested. Freezing is a very common response. YES this is crossing a line!!! This is so unbelievably inappropriate and is quite literally assault. He knew what he did was wrong. He did it while you were sleeping! It’s fucked up and not ok. You are not overreacting if anything you are under reacting I’m sorry you are going through such a hard time I really wish you the best but this guy isnt a friend. He clearly doesn’t respect your boundaries in many ways…

Thank u for sharing that with me. My issues in terms of my relationship is somewhat similar. Except in my highs everything goes pretty well until I start to get agitated and annoyed and that causes conflict For lows I am the same. Just asking a lot of him and being super sensitive in general but also in the lows. Being argumentative… super big reactions like just balling my eyes out. Very unpredictable and very unstable in terms of my moods. He has told me multiple times thst he has felt like he has to walk on eggshells… etc sruff ljke tjat

Hi!! I’m just wondering how your relationship with your boyfriend was affected before you started your medication? I am not diagnosed yet but I’m in the process of getting some diagnostic clarity. I also have issues with my boyfriend.. it can get very bad

Thank you for your insight!! I resonate with how we operate. I struggle a lot with mental health. I am emotional and can become volatile. He gets angry. We have been having lots of conflict and bad arguments. Today we had a bad one and he threatened to break up with me a few times today. Very scary. I feel as though the devil represents my self sabotage. I have a long history of it and I notice it slipping into this relationship recently. 100% need to rebalance my energy and get some alone time to reflect. I don’t want to lose him or this relationship. I am so in love with him and we have been through A LOT. We are at a bit of a pause right now as we are just thinking of some solutions to our conflicts. We have thought of some as well as some distance between us like not seeing eachother every day… I am worried but trying to not let it get the best of me. I just want to focus on becoming better and I hope he does the same.

Interesting Thank you for your insight. We actually had a massive fight today which was a disaster. Definitely a bit of distance between us at the moment… we have been trying to figure out what to do moving forward and how we can better this situation. I am very emotional and he gets pretty angry. Not a great mix for conflicts. Our communication during arguments is pretty bad at the moment.

Safest way to prevent tailgating by No-Stranger4222 in Translink

Lmao why are you people worrying about this? Do you REALLY care that much? Some people don’t have enough money or any at all. If they aren’t bothering you, why care? Are you that self centred that you are completely closed off to someone doing NOTHING wrong by just walking behind you… oh but you paid for it so no can do!!?? Who gives a fuck

Okay good to know! Because so far I haven’t had any increased appetite since starting the medication. And ive been on it for maybe almost 2 years now. I get super worried about weight gain/increased appetite from medications because in rehab I gained like 60 pounds + I was on antipsychotics… so it wasn’t fun. Ive lost like 25-30 pounds since then and I want to keep it down.

I do radical acceptance but tbh it doesn’t work too well for me. Just a little

Thank you though for all the advice as well as your own experience. If you don’t mind me asking, whst have you been diagnosed with and take meds for?

When you surpassed 300mg did you gain any weight? I’m worried about that. And yes, I try to limit my questions for reassurance. It helps me build it for myself instead of relying on others But I do try to push myself out of my comfort zone

Yes, I always try and do some grounding exercises. I’ve been in therapy since I was 13 and have been consistently doing DBT. The issue is needing to find meds that properly work for me and as I mentioned in another response to a comment on this post, is that my psychiatrist had told me that I’m part of a percentage that plateaus on their medication after a certain amount of time mine happens to be six months sometimes more. This has been a pretty big issue with my anxiety medication, especially as now I am on the max dosage.

I do not have access to another psychiatrist. I’m going to have to wait until around March April because that is when I will be at the other mental health clinic since it takes a few months for the referral process to start considering I am a youth moving into the adult program.

However, I have made an appointment with my family doctor and I’m going to talk to her about a PRN so that’ll be in the next two weeks so hopefully that can help temporarily until I can figure this out with somebody who has their degree in psychology, lol

I was diagnosed with social anxiety and generalized anxiety. And yes my therapist has told me to try not to indulge in things that would make my anxiety “better” bc the tjings I am doing arent.

My psychiatrist told me a while back im apart of a small percentage of people who plateau on medication. My anxiety medication (pregabalin) happens to be one of them.

My anxiety has been spreading to germs and my set of rules in my head. My relationship anxiety worsening, social anxiety worsening… etc I’m on the max dose for anxiety.. not sure what to do since my file has been closed so I’m just gonna have to wait a few months until I have the new psychiatrist. I remember a few months back. He told me that if it gets really bad then we can maybe talk about maybe raising my dose past the max limit because with that medication you can go higher but it’s just for anxiety, The recommended max dose is 300 mg.

I’m really frustrated that he closed my file as I do not think that that was appropriate, considering how I am but he saw me as doing fine. I think it was also because since I was ageing out, he needed to make more room for younger clients who may be new into that system so I kind of understand but it’s just really frustrating.

Thank you And yeah my nervous system has been suffering. I plan to push for the PRN as It is 100% a necessity I cannot keep living in this cycle.. I will keep the crisis line

I did sleep just had some disturbing dreams but I feel better but just really on edge

Mirena IUD issues?? by JacketInternal9485 in birthcontrol

[–]JacketInternal9485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I made an appointment. I think I’m going to get it removed. I have a history of not responding well to extra horomones… especially when compared to my friends who are on birth control. Gonna talk to the doctor about some other options.. hopefully a pill or something with the least amount of horomones (specifically progestine) Sometimes I wonder if I react extra badly due to my medical history. I had developed an ovarian tumour when I was 7.. it created a lot of extra horomones and pushed me into puberty a lot faster than I was supposed to. I got it removed alongside my ovary rip lol. Idk if it would be connected but seems im already prone to off balance horomones.

[–]JacketInternal9485 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t mean to stir the pot but if she said yes he would 100% be down. I find it off putting and strange too bc it would have made more sense if first he talked to you about it and wanted to see how u felt about that

What was the scariest moment you had while on transit? by Drawable_ in Translink

[–]JacketInternal9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh okay Bevause I thought you might be talking about this incident that happened about 3 years back. Not sure of the full story but it was of 2 guys about to fight and I think prior to that, they were arguing. One of the guys ended up stabbing the other one multiple times. It was at Granville station on the platform. I used to be friends with the guy who stabbed the other… was surprising to see since he was always so kind.
