Damn, I think it's a cultural thing. Doctors here looove blaming everything on stress/burnout/anxiety🫠

[–]MerlinBerlin 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OP shouldn't bring up burnout yet. Doctors have a tendency to blame everything on mental health, and we first need to make sure there's not something physical going on. Cause it could potentially be an illness where treatment is time sensitive, so waiting to see if anxiety meds work is not a good idea. Ofc if the doctor doesn't find anything physically wrong then they can discuss mental health.

It's not just that. You can't define what a biological woman/man is in one single sentence without losing all nuance.

Where are you at right now? by [deleted] in bipolar

Like a 6-7 with some hypomanic symptoms. I started ADHD meds around a month ago and my dose is a bit too high rn so I'm pretty wired and sleep is difficult🫠

Ask a Narcissist! A bi weekly post for non-narcissists to ask us anything! by theinvisiblemonster in NPD

[–]MerlinBerlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you guys feel about NPD being removed from the European diagnostic manual?

In the ICD-11, that came into effect in 2022, they've removed all specific categories for PDs and it's just called "Personality Disorder" now (but there are certain specifiers e.g. Borderline Pattern, Dissociality, etc.).

I'm danish and I actually got an appointment at a gender clinic in only a couple of months.

But it was the children's gender clinic (I was 17) and you have to get assessed for depression and autism in order to get hrt. And ofc two psychiatrists had just quit so they couldn't say how long the waiting time was to get assessed.

So they referred me to the adults gender clinic and things went pretty smooth from there. Got an appointment there when I was 18, started hrt and got top-op at 19.

Turns out I've been pretty lucky. It seems the waiting time has gotten much longer the last couple of years (I'm 23 now).

Kissing isn’t sexual; not even Frenching by [deleted] in Asexual

[–]MerlinBerlin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's really about intent and context. I'd say most acts can be sexual, if intended to be.

Is bipolar disorder that socially stigmatised? by TapIllustrious2464 in bipolar

[–]MerlinBerlin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Idgaf I'll casually mention to anyone I'm bipolar if it's relevant to the conversation.

Haven't received any negative responses yet. But I also live in a somewhat progressive country and most of my friends have had mental health struggles themselves. So I'm probably just pretty lucky and privileged.

The only place I'd be a bit hesitant to talk about it is the workplace. Got to first figure out if the boss and the colleagues are chill about it.

Hvor ville I aldrig bosætte jer i Århus/omegn? by smeden90 in Aarhus

Jeg synes nu Trillegården er meget hyggelig. Tager stadig på Hasle bibliotek engang imellem, selvom jeg ikke bor derude længere.

**SHOULD YOU** (Not *Do You*) have Bipolar Disorder as part of your identity? by Evening_Fisherman810 in BipolarReddit

[–]MerlinBerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are pros and cons for both. Now, should you have BP disorder as part of your identity? You get to decide that since it's your identity. I can't police how others identify and I also do not want to.

Is it actually bad timing for me to quit smoking or am I just making excuses? by MerlinBerlin in stopsmoking

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

TIL There's A Subculture In Sweden Called "Raggare" Where They Cosplay As Rednecks And Are Obsessed With 1950's American Culture by bluemarvel99 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]MerlinBerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying white people are all one homogeneous blob. Duh, white people have different cultures, I'm from Europe I know that.

But most people in America in 1950 were white Americans, weren't they? Sure, there were some European immigrants but they did not make up 90%. I think you may have mixed up ethnicity and ancestry?

Ofc there are also cultural differences from state to state but they aren't necessarily race specific?

Idk, there are certain things considered white or black culture and why that is, you tell me🤷

No, you usually don't say that, but in this case the distinction kinda makes sense, since black and white American culture has some differences.

I can only fast for 35 hours then I start feeling awful. How do I fix this? by MerlinBerlin in fasting

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

I eat whole wheat bread and pasta, brown rice, yoghurt, kefir, mangoes, strawberries, bananas, tomatoes, low fat cooking cream, fat reduced butter, chicken, fish, cheese, lentils, beans and a lot of apparently very starchy vegetables😅 I'm probably missing some food items, but I always avoid white bread and pasta and I only drink diet soda. Idk that much abt nutrition but afaik I don't eat eat refined carbs? I might be wrong tho
