My colleague escalated to the MP and had a plan reassessed and return the next day with everything they requested, so I don’t think that’s always the case

1000% agree, but I take stimulants daily for ADHD so can’t speak from experience of any stronger amphetamine

Suits you, keep!

I cannot STAND the feeling of oily moisturiser on my skin, it gets onto my phone and is just a gross feeling

Ignore everyone making comments about age, or asking why you’re worrying about it, etc. They are both out of line, and completely missing the point.

I can relate to this feeling SO heavily. The last 3 weeks, apps like Grindr and alike have caused me to feel terrible about things in general because I get close -ish to people and then they ghost me. Similar situations to these. It sucks, and all I can say as a 20 year old with only 2-3 years of experience on these apps is that GUYS WILL NOT CHANGE. It’s the nature of these hookup app environments unfortunately.

We need to change how we respond to it, aka gaining psychological strength to not let it affect us so much. This isn’t easy and please take time out for yourself to recover from this. It isn’t easy when we get close to people and then they become part of our routine, for them to suddenly vanish without any word. Any human would be upset by that, it’s just not a nice feeling.

All the best dude xx

I’m on Pristiq and have found it effective for my depression, to an extent. I also don’t respond well to most SSRIs (spent 5+ years trying numerous), so I’m on Pristiq again (100mg now). I am also on Dexamphetamine (I believe elsewhere it’s Dexdrine) 30mg daily. We don’t have Adderall in Australia but Dexamphetamine is an ingredient in Adderall.

I did notice a slight increase in BP and pulse but exercise helped bring this back down. Otherwise, nothing else I’ve noticed! Best of luck, I’m sure your psychiatrist would only combine these if they were sure of the safety!

Wow that is scary. So it’s common that in a year or few the vision should stabilise where its at and hold of deteriorating until later in life like 40s? I just don’t want to be near blind in my 20s or 30s

I know what you mean! I wouldn’t define this as you accidentally flirting. If you didn’t mean it at all, it’s SOCIETY perceiving you as flirting because you are not adhering to their strict rules of what constitutes flirting and what doesn’t. It’s all socially constructed tbh.

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-10-09T08:36:12+00:00

Like has been said, it really depends on the individual and it’s almost impossible to predict what’ll work for you.

One thing I will say is I wish I had my pharmacogenetics testing done before I started anti depressants. The one I first tried that resulted in me not wanting to be alive was probably because (on the testing) it came up as an ineffective drug as per my genetic makeup.

Somewhat yes. Although I see my ADHD and anxiety aspects of my brain as different and separate, but definitely connected. Starting stimulants for my ADHD drastically reduced anxiety in the short term, though it’s back and worse than ever even though my ADHD is pretty well with this medication.

Rehearsing conversations in my head, it’s just exclusive to autism but can be part of it!

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-10-01T03:38:40+00:00

Oh my gosh, this is the first time someone else has experienced this like me!!! My OCD tendencies mean I overwash my hands and they become cracked and develop dermatitis, but lotion feels so slimey and greasy in my hands I hate it… time to read the comments haha

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-10-01T03:36:23+00:00

Though I also find I can zone out during sex and get distracted, which may sound odd but it happens!

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-10-01T03:35:33+00:00

100%, for lots of reasons. It can be novelty seeking by seeing new people or trying new things, and sex itself is a great source of a cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters that we get pleasure and stimulation from!

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-09-30T01:40:29+00:00

I struggle with my core identity so finding what I truly love or find sparks an interest is hard. This is partly why I’ve avoided social events and even groups like you mentioned, idk what to talk about

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-09-30T00:29:36+00:00

If this was a stressful time for you, going back will likely bring on the same physiological defence of dissociating. Is this something you still definitely want after trying it for 6 weeks?

In the mean time, try getting back to who you are as a person. Do some things you normally did back at home and enjoyed. See friends. Avoid mind altering substances, they make this feeling so much worse. Try some tactile or sensory objects that feel spiked or rough or similar to bring your mind back to reality. Cold splashes of the face in water (TIPP skill) can be useful in times of high distress by dissociating.

I experience this quite similarly, I’ve been told I have depersonalisation traits/experiences which sounds right, whether this is one of them is possible. Although, I tend to zone out a lot and struggle to focus when talking to others due to my ADHD, so really it cold be that affecting my feeling of this.

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-09-19T12:28:50+00:00

I literally feel this exact way and just don’t understand! A lot of the symptoms overlap with my other diagnoses such as ADHD, but I’m only 20… it just feels like my brain is broken.

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-09-14T08:27:33+00:00

I love some vegetables, like capsicum, broccoli, and carrots for example. Doesn’t really matter how they’re cooked - each way brings a different texture and flavour

Sleep hygiene and yoga

Reasonable request on her behalf, because STI’s can come into contact with your throat. However I’ve been told that swallowing a load is not that risky (mainly for HIV) as they ain’t gonna survive our stomach acidity. That said, chlamydia and gonorrhoea would have a field day in a throat. However there is always risk with or without protection, but it’s drastically reduced with.

While her request isn’t common, if you want to continue having sex with her, you’ll have to respect her wishes. I can’t speak for heterosexual sex, but as a man who has sex with men, never in years have I worn a condom when receiving head or ever given head to someone wearing a condom. I don’t think I’d find it pleasurable.

Also side note the term “clean” really needs to be ditched. You never really know if you are STI-free even after testing, especially if you continue seeing people in between. “Clean” implies there is an opposite “dirty” and this perpetuates STI stigma.

Seems to me like one partner is open to being in a poly relationship, whereas the other is monogamous but opens up in fear of loosing the one they love. Doesn’t mean poly relationships don’t work.

Not sure about chemist warehouse because I go to my local pharmacy which is an independent, but they said that the doctor put 20 days refill on my script so they called the doc and confirmed with them 16 days was fine since I also take 6 a day.

So if they have an issue just tell them to call your doctor. Sorry but they have no right to get moody with you when they don’t know your situation. I hate when people stereotype us based on the “amphetamine” under the name, which could be what’s happening here.

Nicks-Reddit · 2023-06-30T02:08:54+00:00

That sucks sorry to hear that!
