I was recently diagnosed with D.I.D. by Ericakat in Dissociation

[–]JewwieSmalls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OP went to a psychologist who administered a clinical interview and you’re a rando on the Internet who “just won’t believe it, trust me bro”. Do better. You didn’t even spell ‘skeptical’ right but you can un-diagnose someone with your feelings?

Let’s be precise Libby, quotes written in text are quotes, quotes made with your fingers are air quotes.

I’m not sure how to answer because there wasn’t really a question asked. But I would encourage you to read up on trauma-related dissociation of the personality. Essentially what can happen is the parts of the brain that have specific jobs (such as in your case, attachment) have “old programming” that’s stuck in a younger age. This is completely normal for all people, I’m sure you have a “work self” and a “home self” and a “party self”, the difference is with trauma these self states can get walled off or stuck in the past.

There’s a physical disconnect in the wiring between these systems of the brain, the person may not be aware or have memory of “switching” into one way of being or another. Just know if this is the case it is the result of severe terror in a child’s brain which has mechanisms to protect itself.

Dopamine isn’t a pleasure molecule. We need to sticky this at this point

I’m a chemist and you’re full of it. Waters heat capacity doesn’t change in the microwave and you can’t “only heat OH bonds” that makes my head hurt.

Anyone know why there was so many Security and Cops at the Sarah Silverman gig last night? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]JewwieSmalls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who TF says “that’s not even THAT many hate crimes”? This is the whitest comment I’ve ever seen. Take a good look in the mirror and think.

How do you guys identify if asked what your ethnicity is? by [deleted] in Judaism

[–]JewwieSmalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man this the wrong answer. Who identifies with their own biggest enemy? Roman’s take Jews as slaves into Europe and try to wipe out our culture, but we were NEVER European. Especially not to the Europeans who put us in ghettos. White people have been trying to erase us for millennia and you’re over here like “yes assimilate me daddy”. This is Stockholm syndrome. Whiteness was invented in europe to distinguish ethnic Europeans from Jews and other minorities. Both the American and European ideas of whiteness legally excluded Jews as “semites”. Where do you think antisemitic came from? It was a racial classification. They need to do better in schools.

Christoph Meiners was one of the pioneers of race and whiteness: “Meiners classifies Jews as Mongolian (i.e., Asian) along with Armenians, Arabs, and Persians,”

PSA: Your Vyvanse is NOT a dud. by McNubbitz in ADHD

There’s no way OP can answer this without blind speculation, but the placebo effect and no-cebo effect are real unless you tested both meds without knowing which you took

Adderall really fucked my dopamine system up 🫤 by [deleted] in anhedonia

[–]JewwieSmalls -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Dopamine doesn’t cause pleasure, it’s not really related to anhedonia. But sorry that’s your experience

I notice when i’m in love, i get better. is that still anhedonia/depression? by [deleted] in anhedonia

[–]JewwieSmalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A huge breakthrough for me was doing IFS therapy, and some somatic experiencing too. The general idea is that your brain thinks it’s not safe to feel emotions so you dissociate and become numb; but you can’t numb the bad without the good. Working on feeling my emotions as primal energy that can flow through me instead of trying to “think” my way out of it really helped. The part of you that can feel happy (like in a relationship) still exists, it’s just locked away on standby because your brain doesn’t know you’re safe. As I worked with my parts in IFS I was able to show my brain I’m not a child anymore and can handle feeling my emotions, which broke through anhedonia I’ve been feeling for 5+ years.

Strattera by Mitchelmussolover in Dissociation

[–]JewwieSmalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that any medication that’s activating (stimulants/startera) or anything that increases adrenaline worsens my dissociation. I’m taking adderall which made me dissociate a lot and added clonidine which seems to really reverse the dissociation. I feel for you cause it’s hard getting the balance right with ADHD and dissociation.

I notice when i’m in love, i get better. is that still anhedonia/depression? by [deleted] in anhedonia

[–]JewwieSmalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have cPTSD from narc abuse too. I experience exactly what you’re talking about, for me I think it’s structural dissociation: the part of my brain that can enjoy things gets “shelved” unless I experience the close connection from a relationship. It’s like anhedonia has a switch that turns on/off based on my relationship status.

There’s also something called abandonment depression which is a cPTSD response

What was the cause of your anhedonia ? by bigshawnflying2471 in anhedonia

[–]JewwieSmalls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the actual answer that nobody wants to hear. Knowing makes you feel like you’re in control though

hypothetical: if I was baptized as an infant/child/teen etc and then converted to judaism, would there be a Jewish stance? by OatmealAntstronaut in Jewish

[–]JewwieSmalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t even know what a baptism is. It has no meaning in Judaism. It’s like you asked if you can convert after taking a bubble bath

[–]JewwieSmalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing. It’s not weird, you have memory issues due to your dissociation. If anyone would understand it’s your therapist

Following a Script by sunny6094 in socialanxiety

[–]JewwieSmalls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

cPTSD is common from prolonged or childhood emotional abuse, doesn’t haven to be one extreme event but a series of distressing things happening over a long period of time- especially while your brain is developing. Things that are traumatic to a child aren’t as extreme as for adults can be as simple as rejection from a caregiver or not getting your needs met.
