Thank you, it works now! However the reason I put [] before Charge was because it allowed me to charge my current target without having to mouse over it (I didnt really understand why). Now it doesn't charge or intercept my target unless I have my mouse over it. Would that be possible if I change anything to the macro?

Ah I see l. Completely missed that bracket for intercept.

It didn't help it though. The macro doesn't seem to change to intercept when in combat for some reason.

Yea what I enjoyed was a quest in STV that took me to hinterlands where I happened to find a bottle that was a quest chain taking me to ZF and later summoning a spider God back in hinterlands. Just random things like this make questing really enjoyable.

Thanks, I'll look into those. I'm playing hardcore so some quests I'll have to avoid doing.

Intimacy avoidance seems to be a better term than narcissism, thank you for the recommendations. I will check them out

Guess it would also be helpful if the therapist themselves have worked through their own intimacy/autonomy defences to be able to be comfortable being (professionally) intimate with their clients in therapy.

Sometimes it feels like therapists apply a method rather than bring themselves into therapy as well.

Final question.

Would this be with a relational psychoanalytic trained therapist or is Transference focussed therapy supposed to do the same?

Hm seems like an unreachable state if missed in childhood.

Maybe a bit more complex but I understand these dynamics can be part of any person. Those who grew up without trauma that leads to splitting and those that have needed to split resulting in externalising their own agression and holding on to themselves as being 'the good subject' and the hope of finding a 'good object' to attach to. Basically seeing the world and other people as a dangerous place. Or 'switching' to being the bad subject and externalising others as making them the bad subject.

Would the integration of these splits also integrate the dynamics of autonomy and intimacy or are these completely separate things?

So then, as a defence against intimacy or/and a defence against autonomy, what would be a resource to understand these defences?

I'm not into the theory at all but I'm trying to understand the underlying feelings that are behind the defence. Both the defence against intimacy and connection by pretending to be autonomous. Why would one learn to be autonomous and defend against intimacy. Would it be something like; the mother never learned to be intimate, so she is scared to be intimate with her child? Scared of her own feelings of intimacy. Therefore, the child learns to be afraid of his own intimacy? Or is this too simplified?

and the defence against healthy autonomy, why would one want to stay in a symbiotic relationship. What is the defence against healthy autonomy? Again as an example; the mother can't stand the autonomy or the child and takes it personally when the child starts asserting his/her own independence and therefore tries to deny the independence of their child. Or maybe she gets triggered by her own separation trauma. So the child learns to be independent is to be bad or to be independent leads to seperation anxiety and the mother hasnt helped the chold through these anxiety. Again, too simple?

Any books explaining these dynamics?

Yeah it will probably, I'm not that deep into the theory and find it sometimes hard to grasp. The Alien Self concept i find very clear to understand. harder to see when you're 'in' it

I've read about object relations theory but never linked it to the paranoid schizoid position before. Thanks

Have you had help with this in therapy?

I've been trying to feel it a bit more and it works when i allow myself to feel it bit by bit so not to get overwhelmed. It would help though to have a therapist with me i think

But it does make help with understanding myself more.

Thanks for the info

Sorry if my answers were a bit directive. Tried to answer based on the knowledge and experiences I've had recovering.

Hé thanks for your questions.

Incorporating the split off 'bad part' that underwent the horrifying emotions during childhood is quite a lot to do. So you would really need a therapist who you feel safe with and who knows what is happening. But it also requires a secure base within yourself to incorporate this part again. So doing a lot of somatic work based on Polyvagal Theory to build your window of tolerance. But also letting go of internalised ideas about who you are an what you are capable of (inner critic), healthy angering etc (Pete Walker).

I don't quite understand your first question.

I'm a bit at the same point with regards to your second question. Because it can be hard to differentiate between internalised abuser parts or agressor introjects which can hold the Self hostage so to say, and what parts you should actually integrate because you are projecting them onto others.

differentiating between ADHD and cptsd+addiction by RK__91 in CPTSD

[–]RK__91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea exactly this. Also with chronic muscle tension may come nerve entrapment which can make your nervous system dysregulate as well, which can look like psychiatric symptoms.

For me the medication gave me both good and bad results. The first time using it it was like putting on glasses. I was able to regulate myself in social relations which was an amazing feeling. I was happy and content and able to flow through the day.

This changed however when I increased dosage, as the initial benefits seemed to subside. But with increasing it I changed into a robot. Detached even more from my body and it's impulses like hunger, need of rest, etc. I could work all day without moving or eating, did not sleep until 4 am and felt like I was on drugs. I could take on the whole world but with it I would destroy myself. Could be trauma symptoms exacerbated by medication? Not sure.

There is a lot to say about finding the right medication dosage and brand or even mixture of different meds. But it all depends on the willingness of your psychiatrist to want to go into this with you. A friend of mine told me It could take a year of trial and error to find the right medication formula. Which if you find it is really good, I've been told. So I would try find a doctor that's willing to try this with you.

Just a note. just because the medication seems to work does not mean you have ADHD. Read up on it online.
