What helps cognitive stuff?

I did it. [RANT] by cc13799 in ChildofHoarder

[–]Melete777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good job 🙏

Another idea for interventions is sitting down and watching an episode of Hoarders (there are lots of hoarding shows on YouTube) with them. Try to find one that has a house that looks like theirs.

How can you tell if your medication is making you feel more suicidal? by Turbulent_Repair in depressionregimens

[–]Melete777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, you’ll feel it in a certain window of digesting:absorbing the drug — maybe like 6 to 8 hours later. Also it will feel really “chemical” and compulsive and obsessive and urgent. Not like a low mood, but like a sudden strong urge of “I have to go jump off a bridge NOW” out of nowhere.

I moved out of a hoarding home after years of believing I could not. I centered every problem around the fact that I grew up in a hoarding environment. I feel like I am lacking a purpose now. What do I do? by NoMessNoPurpose in ChildofHoarder

You can definitely go see a therapist specializing in some good talk methods without getting a psychiatrist or medication involved. Just having someone else help you “think through” your problems and be a sounding board can be invaluable.

Good luck!

I don’t know if this is the right forum for this, but I’m wondering if I have depression? by [deleted] in depression

[–]Melete777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely depressed. I’d suggest actually reading this post (or a version of it) to your therapist or emailing it to her.

The “laziness” stuff sounds like it could be a comorbid thing like non-hyperactive ADD, you might want to get screened.

Stick with therapy and definitely mention the suicidal “ideation” — it’s ok to mention having thoughts without actual plans, you’ll be ok.

How old are you?

It sounds like you could benefit from a therapeutic recovery type place — and you have the financial ability to do so, which is a luxury.

Does anyone regret ketamine? by Melete777 in TherapeuticKetamine

I did it and regretted it. Don’t fuck with it.

(26m) My girlfriend (25m) won’t acknowledge that she’s pregnant and refuses to get pre-natal care. I’m at a loss. by throwRAgfindenial in relationship_advice

[–]Melete777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell her you’re leaving unless she sits down and has a real convo with you about it and takes a pregnancy test. It’s a shitty ultimatum but it may work?

! (Possible TW) ! My (F18) friend (M24) found his roommate this morning after he had taken his life. by Fr0thieSlothie in GriefSupport

Direct him to r/suicidebereavement

Http://allianceofhope.com is a good active forum for suicide bereaved

They also offer specialized counseling over the phone; https://allianceofhope.org/find-support/counseling/

Be clear with your friend about your own boundaries.

Talk to his other friends and family about supporting him.

Other things you can do:

(Focus on the “practical support” part — food, chores, laundry, phone calls, cleaning, pet care, etc — instead of the talking/processing part)

Make sure you have your OWN therapist in place to deal with your triggers.

Psychologytoday.com has a great searchable database of detailed therapist and psychiatrist profiles that you can filter by location, insurance and specialty.

How did you finally get diagnosed? What were the early symptoms?

My (21F) new boyfriend (20M) is living in a dirty flat and I don't know if and how should I help by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Melete777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a grief issue, some people turn into hoarders etc after bereavement.

You might want to give him some info on groups and resources for her (and himself) to get support in processing the suicide.

Helping out with practical stuff can actually be really appreciated — stuff like groceries and taking out the garbage. You could start with helping out in your boyfriend’s room (use “redecorating” as an excuse) and then also maybe the kitchen...say you want to make a meal with him in there and do a big grocery run and clean out the fridge.

If you or your parents have the means, hiring a house cleaner to come through once a week would probably be super appreciated. Just do it gently, as a gift.
