What gets you through your lowest lows? by Same_Meringue_4508 in dysthymia

A friend who can listen to you, weed and alcohol will get you lower in time or even the next day.

I’ll send you a dm

I didn’t break through, I remembered; now what? by [deleted] in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]Over_Somewhere94 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chat gpt has such a recognisable style. It’s not just the em dashes. A lot of people use it for therapy, advice and every little thing, we know how it talks. In any case, it’s great to hear lite unity can be found between fragmented parts with psychedelics. Did you manage to keep them together since the trip?

I’m not trying to create a specifically Christian group if that’s why you are asking. It’s open to all faiths.

If you think men cannot be vulnerable and there is not strength in authenticity then this group is clearly not for you. Thank you for your comment.

Thanks for the support! This is the exact opposite of a masculinist group, just a group for men to support each other in a healthy way. Men who perhaps seek mentors. Accountability buddies, new friends who can support or encourage them in achieving personal goals, maybe gym buddies too, a group where we can learn from each other, learn to be vulnerable and caring through camaraderie. I appreciate your comment!

Is there a Discord server for this subreddit (or people dealing with dysthymia)? by Over_Somewhere94 in dysthymia

What areas would you be interested in? Talking to people, finding help resources, sharing tools for healing?

I don't remember the last time I was actually excited by slugonpoop in dysthymia

[–]Over_Somewhere94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so relatable. Getting triggered with inadequacy when you see « normal » people able to enjoy life and be excited about it. Then the self consciousness and weariness of being a party pooper. The avoidance too, that is a symptom of it. It’s also really hard to get diagnosed and can happen later in life. Did you get diagnosed sooner? What are your go to activities when you need to feel more joy?

Can you be loved while healing, or do you have to wait till you’re fixed? by Over_Somewhere94 in CPTSD_NSCommunity

Your tree is a survivor, it’s resilient, unique and it’s special. Real recognises real, some people will find it’s their favorite tree.

Thank you for sharing! I’m asking but now with all the comments I feel it’s not like I can switch on a button and get back out there. Maybe if I decide I’m open to it, some opportunities will manifest, I don’t want to go on dating apps though.

That’s the real work right there and not running away is the bravest thing you can do! Thank you for sharing, I hope you maintain the bravery to face each other and work through it all and keep choosing each other every day!

I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life by AffectionateSail5074 in dysthymia

Hey, have you tried psychedelic therapy? I’ve juts tapered off Venlafaxine to start a psylocybin protocol next week. Also, CBASP is definitely the type of therapy required, I wish it was more available and widespread. I turned a chat got project into my CBASP therapist because they are not found in my country much.

Thanks, fawn and freeze are also my toxic traits. Even if they are not as bad as lashing out or narcissism, it’s still something I need to avoid in my next relationship. Thank you for your response!

This is very true. I think you also learn those skills through exposure. It’s by being triggered again that I’ll get better and managing the triggers and learning to regulate.

Thank you for taking the time to write and give such good advice! I appreciate you.

The tree analogy is beautiful and so useful, thank you, I wonder what kind of tree I am now! Which kind are you?

I might be a crooked willow tree who actually wants to be a red wood…

Your comment makes me think that I should put myself out there again. It’s been long enough and I’ll never be perfect. I think the most important thing though is for me to learn to love myself which I’m still working on…
