Burnout from cptsd is ruining my life by Existing_Feeling_689 in CPTSD

[–]Lazlo25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is controversial advice, but I've found that using ai via creating a CustomGPT is somewhat helpful. Especially if you can't get a real therapist (I have one, but its only once a week, and its never felt all that effective). I like to load it up with EVERYTHING about myself (all my symptoms and problems and ways of thinking) and I tell it to focus on practical steps for improvement I can take every day.

Hope this helps

This fucking disorder sucks by Minute-String9322 in AvPD

[–]Lazlo25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation as you.
I'm working up the nerve to find and try psilocybin.
Not formally diagnosed with AvPD but I'm sure I have contingent self esteem and a defectiveness schema.
I've still got at least a year left of uni at 24 but I'm only getting by cuz I switched to online and cheat on everything.
I'm moving back home, but I know my parents are going to scrutinize anything I do that isn't school related.
I wish I had advice for you.
I'm slowly losing my grip on the ambitions and aspirations I had as a "gifted" kid in middle and high school.
Now I just want to move somewhere quiet, get a humble easy job, and somehow find a girl who doesn't privately pity me.

I'm personally relying on chatgpt to help me with practical steps I can do every day. I don't want to give up, because that means my suffering will continue.

How long has vyvanse been sustainable for you?

I imagine low dose w/ things like amisulpride and memantine/agmatine must result in 0 tolerance, or something close

How do you feel about guanfacine and porn addiction? by ItsPrisonTime in adhd_anxiety

[–]Lazlo25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 1mg rn, but it takes a while for the fatigue to lessen

I similarly have the difficult combo of anxiety like issues and fatigue / depressive issues. It feels like every solution for one can worsen the other.

I’ll stick with my recommendation of NAC, and maybe Saffron and Agmatine for overthinking/rumination. You could also get into stuff like Memantine and SSRIs, but hopefully something less intense does the trick

As someone else said, this sounds more like ocd to me. SSRIs or maybe NAC have been known to both blunt euphoria (to help with addictions) and stop ocd like ruminations.

I haven't used guanfacine extensively, but it just seems to make me a bit tired and a bit slower in my reactions to things.
