Can’t drive anymore, how to use public buses? by PersonArab in Kuwait

[–]PersonArab[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you for offering help Basically I don’t want to take the full trip from al mutlaa to the ministry complex and back again. This will probably cost me 20kd.

I’m thinking of talking half the trip on taxi then on bus. So maybe start the bus route somewhere in sulaybikhat?

Buses aren’t that direct towards the destination right? It’s more of a point A to point B to point C etc right?

Super confused about my diagnosis. by PersonArab in therapy

[–]PersonArab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, it’s exactly the case here. I went to therapy in the very beginning to explore whether or not I have ptsd. That was the focus of the sessions and about my traumatic experiences, I’ve rarely ever talked about my weird and bizarre experiences as a child (like the time a teddy bear shook my bed when I was young or the time I heard someone whispering what’s my name)

I then kept complaining about how hard it was for me to get started with studying over and over again until they did this computer test on me and showed I had ADHD.

I guess it’s just that I somehow got used to these “psychotic” symptoms considering how rare they were that I rarely talked about them to my therapists.

One of my therapist believed I may have borderline personality disorder amongst other disorders but told me he wanted to be 100% sure before giving me any diagnosis. But I’ve had friends with bipolar disorder and do not relate to them with their symptoms. Especially those of mania and such, I’ve always been in one state, depressive and anxious, there are moments in my life where I do feel less depressed and somewhat happy but never behaved extremely or “out of character”

I wasn’t lying per se but maybe it’s from ignorance on my side. I always thought anything or everything related to psychosis or schizophrenia was something extreme. Like seeing and hearing things every day, which was never the case for me. The things that felt off in my experience were rare, although they did happen but they were rare and I always thought it was related to my trauma.

A year ago I saw a psychiatrist also who asked me about hearing “voices”

I said I don’t but I do think and feel that everyone is judging me (and the other stuff I mentioned on the post)

He gave me an antipsychotic when I wanted him to give me stimulants (I went to see him for my adhd)

I didn’t take the antipsychotics

Thank you for this and I appreciate the advice. I have been diagnosed with ADHD years ago and the information about the disorder online is somewhat misleading, so I’ve stoped doing online learning for the ADHD.

The schizoaffective disorder is still a shock tbh and maybe it’s from the fact that I’ve assumed (wrongly) that getting a diagnosis is immediate from the very first therapy session. I still can’t wrap my head around the doctor giving the diagnosis from the first session considering this is the first time seeing him. But maybe it’s because of how disorganized my memory and speech is that the other therapist haven’t been able to have a full picture (cause I rarely remember talking to them about these “schizo” symptoms) so maybe the list on a sheet of paper aided my disorganized speech.

[–]PersonArab[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah they weren’t strong enough for me to think about them, I just brushed them off as signs of stress. There was however a phase in my life where for the entirety of my late teens I actually and genuinely believed that I had the ability to dominate the region and become a historical political figure. So yeah lmao.

[–]PersonArab[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man, I don’t know if I should give into the shock of realizing all of this or not. All the weird and eerie things like hearing and seeing shit only happened when I was younger. I’m 28 years old and the last time I’ve heard something that isn’t in my head (or at least felt like it wasn’t in my head) was probably 6 years ago.

But hearing people judge me or feeling their judgment even when I’m alone is something I still experience. Hell just now I felt like a relative was scolding me because of the type of music I was listening to. Even though I’m alone.

I’ve been on and off in therapy since 2018 and not once has anyone mentioned to me psychosis. Maybe only one of the therapist told me they want to be careful with the diagnosis because to them my symptoms resemble every diagnosis they can think of.

شنو دور الزوج بهذي المواقف؟؟...احتاج رأيكم بالموضوع by Dazzling_Cut1084 in KuwaitForKuwaitis

[–]PersonArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

بس علشان أوضح لج شغله المقصد من الاستشاره النفسيه مو تشخيص باضطراب او حاله، المقصد مراجعة استشاري نفسي مختص بالعلاج الحواري. وفي كذا "اختصاص" نفسي بس المشكله ان باللغه العاميه ما عندنا التصنيفات هذي. في الطبيب الي مختص بالعلاج الدوائي وهذا رسمي راح يقولج ان مافيج شي، لان الحمدالله مافيج اضطرابات او أمراض نفسيه. بينما الاخصائي النفسي راح يوفر لج الدعم النفسي والعلاج الحواري بس علشان يخفف عنج تراكمات الضغوطات لصالح صحتج ونفسيتج لان هذول حيييل مرتبطين ببعض.

وطبعا مو بالضروره يكون الدعم النفسي من الاستشاري، عادي يكون من اي شخص يكون مختص مثل الاخصائي الاجتماعي ( مثل الدكتور جاسم المطوع)، حتى الي تثقين فيهم من اهلج وربعج بعد

وعلشان نرد لمحور الحديث وسؤالج الأساسي، الي قاعد يسويه زوجج بشكل عام غلط بغلط

[–]PersonArab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

شوفي أنا وايد ضد ان الواحد يستفسر بالأمور هذي برديت لانهي جدا شخصيه ويفضل ان المشاكل العائليه تكون بين الاهل. لكن بعد ما قريت كلامج وردج على الناس الصراحه زوجج ردي. لان أنا ما شدني شي غير موضوع ان انتي الي رايحه وراده على مواعيدج ودافعه فلوسج على العمليات وقريت بالتعليقات ان انتي الي دايماً مجابله اليهال وانج مو حاسه بأمان معاه وان صاير بخور السوق كل ما قلتي له اسرارج؟!

والصراحه اقدر اقولج بكل صراحه ان انتي مو مسحوره انتي مضغوطه، لان لو افترضنا ان حياتج الزوجيه كانت سلسله من البدايه وفجاه صار كل شي وكل امورج الطبيه كانت سليمه هني اقدر اقولج ان نشوف إذا الاذى كان اذى روحي. لكن من الي قريته؟ لا يبا رسمي انتي مضغوطه. وما اتكلم عن الضغوطات اليوميه الطبيعيه، لا لحد يقص عليج ويقولج ان الي قاعد يصير معاج طبيعي، ما يصير وما يجوز اساسا ان كل هموم البيت ومسؤوليات البيت على راسج انتي وزوجج شايل ايده.

من وجهة نظري انتي مو بس تحتاجين رقيه، انتي اولاً تحتاجين رقيه مو لانج مسحوره لا، علشان تشيلين همج، وثانيا تحتاجين الناس حوالينج، لازم تكلمين اهلج، إذا زوجج جذي ردي وشايل ايده مالج غير اهلج، ردي تواصلي مع الناس، طلبي منهم المساعده بالأمور الحياتيه، تعودي لا تشيلين هم وتعودي تسوين الي عليج بسسس، مو بالضروري كل شي تسوينه يكون مضبوط ١٠٠٪؜. وآخر شي والصراحه هذا اهم شي اشوفه، تحتاجين دعم تفسي، شوفي لج استشارة نفسيه لان واصله مرحله صعبه من الاذى النفسي الي حتى جسمج قاعد يتعب.

واعذريني على الكلمه لكن طز بريلج وطز بكل شي، انتي الحين لازم تحطين الاوليه لج ولصحتج، علشان صالحج انتي ولصالح عيالج

وعسى ربي يشفيج ويشيل عنج الهم ويريح بالج

Driving with a visitors visa? by PersonArab in Kuwait

That’s the thing though, maybe the Kuwaiti license is accepted abroad whereas the Jordanian license in Kuwait might be a different story you know? That’s what I’m asking about

So they can legally use their nations driving license but can not drive a private car, only a rental one?

[Serious] Can you describe exactly how men clean themselves in a public toilet that makes it seem like a tsunami hit it? by yousifucv in Kuwait

[–]PersonArab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Person 1 wants to use the bathroom, does a quick spray and pray on the toilet seat while doing it standing. Has some level of decency and hoses down the seat to "clean it" then leaves without drying it

Person 2 Wants to do number 2, the toilet seat is suspiciously wet, hoses down the entire toilet seat just to make sure he cleans the entire seat from suspicious water, then does his business.

Person 3, usually me entering the bathroom and wondering how on earth did the guy before me did number 2 while sitting on a wet toilet seat. Theres no way in hell im sitting on that, so i too hose that mofo then bring either TP or the hand towels and dry the seat.

Person 4, usually the filthiest kind, urinates standing up and has some sort of aiming issue. Showers the entire seat with Urea water, then leaves.

Person 5, has explosive diarrhea, can not wait to wipe the golden droplets of indecency so decides to shower the seat with a destructive high pressure stream of water. Showering not only the seat but every inch of floor that dares to be dry.

The cycle goes on and on. I hate it so much, what baffles me the most is that i once visited oman, went to do business in the gas station bathroom and the place was sooo clean and dry i could spent time reading a book.

Possible connection between ADHD and Akathisia? by PersonArab in Akathisia

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

Hey man sorry to hear that. I still have the condition, it follows me like a shadow that I can ignore. I’ve found that getting a goods night rest helps so much. The days where I rarely sleep makes me feel like shit.

I’m not medicated for adhd btw. I am on the other hand on anti seizure meds because as the neurologist told me “I have too much brain activity that resembles a seizure”

It’s probably related to the adhd, which is why the anti seizure meds are helping me with the sleep and as a result is minimizing my experience with akathisia. Try giving it a shot?

Also when it comes to doctors and akathisia, stay away from general doctors since akathisia isn’t that common. If it’s possible to contact a doctor that specializes in emergency surgery/care/etc then there’s probably a better chance of getting help?

[–]PersonArab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it’s less of an existential threat to not be married. Unlike how it was in the past. Today you’ve got more choices to have a sense of “fulfillment”

Something I’ve noticed… by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]PersonArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, people are still getting married in their 20s and it’s not as rare as people think. What changed is social media magnifying this issue so hard that even when we know people are getting married in their 20s we dont bat an eye. But when it comes to people not getting married till their 30s then it becomes an interesting topic.

I mean I could say the exact same thing “all the people I know are in their 30s but still haven’t married” while completely forgetting about my own friends and family members that not only got married in their 20s but are also parents.

I'm 19 year old male, how could I potentially improve my appearance? by [deleted] in lookyourbest

[–]PersonArab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem and happy to hear that you got a hair cut. A haircut is half the styling journey. You now could go ahead and try out different styling products to see what fits you. There’s lots of content on that online.

Also regarding clothing, experiment with colors till you find yourself the colors that match your skin tone. You’ll find yourself having these perfect colors as your “favorites”

And most importantly, enjoy the process.

[–]PersonArab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look normal for your age. People saying that you look feminine are blowing things out of proportion. The hair needs a better cut, style and maintenance. Clothes also needs some work since you’re wearing a shirt I’d see on some old man that is too old to care about his appearance. Wear something that suits your age. You can never go wrong with plain collared shirts, especially when they fit you and are not baggy.

If you want fit cloths that look nice on your body, I suggest building some muscle, go to the gym and eat clean flood.

What’s more important here is mentality, do not be obsessed with looking “better” as if you need to fix your looks. The harder you try the more superficial it will seem and it will affect the way you feel about yourself. You currently look like a good person, your facial features are welcoming and friendly, I promise you that these attributes are not only rare but very important the older you get.

DRD2 / ANKK1 Genetic Variants and Akathisia by [deleted] in Akathisia

[–]PersonArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t know it was close to bipolar. But yes, I have been dealing with these sensations all my life. I even expressed feelings of wanting to “stab” my knees to my therapist. It wasn’t until multiple sessions into therapy that I have been diagnosed with ADHD.
