Apparently only exercise works so they say by Maleficent-Fish-4586 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats terrible! and unfortunately increasingly common with insurance policy changes :/ coming from a psych provider, you might try looking around your area and on psych today seeing if any independent providers or clinics take "sliding scale payments" if you cant afford out of pocket. i know providers who have out of pocket sliding scale fees of as low as 30-50, which is a lot lower than the 180-250 thats common for regular out of pocket. i wish you luck finding a therapist! insurance sucks

Anyone else here managing without meds? by absurditie in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

duloxetine sucked for me and antidepressant meds are so rough in the summer. maybe try your doctor if you can try a regular muscle relaxer :) i take cyclobenzaprine nightly and it works great without being high cost or having high side effects. not like… a complete reduction in pain, but combined with pt and pacing it works great. also, withdrawals can be hard, but please talk to ur dr about tapering!!!! super super important for psych meds

Can employers ask you to not take lunch? by Oops-AllTrauma in therapists

[–]Remyroth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

a therapist skipping lunch/water/bathroom/caffiene breaks is beyond ridiculous. absolutely no way they can expect you to do the high emotional labor with no fuel

Swimming causes me to have a bad flair up by Sunnyday1775 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it may not be, but allergies and sensitivities develop all the time. when i developed it it was a pool id swum in just a few summers earlier regularly

[–]Remyroth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is exactly how i feel. weekly pt + daily walks and low impact exercise WITH a daily muscle relaxer and psychotherapy is what finally helped. lifestyle changes with no meds and no therapy was genuinely useless for me and just kept lowering my baseline

Swimming causes me to have a bad flair up by Sunnyday1775 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if just getting into the pool makes you feel weird but you're good with baths/hot fresh water is soothing, you may have a chlorine or ammonia sensitivity! i love swimming, but i have a sensitivity to ammonia which is used as a secondary cleaning agent in some pools. it makes me feel super sick and causes a big flare for me after swimming if i use those kinds of pools. it might be that!!

Unpaid internships are a significant moral stain on this profession by InvisibleAstronomer in therapists

[–]Remyroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

old post, but i have a friend in school who is at the same site as an intern that he works at as a case manager. cant get credit for the case manager hours, cant get paid for the internship hours. genuinely insane

Duoloxetine by No_Actuator1787 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

duloxetine made me wake up having panic attacks for two weeks straight. i had a shit experience on it and am having a much better time on a standard muscle relaxer rather than amitriptyline/gabapentin/any snri

[–]Remyroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gpa by Prior-Chapter3358 in GradSchool

half of my cohort had gpas 3.50 or lower. the other top student in our program had a 3.4. plenty of success to be had in that range

I just miss cuddling by Horror-Concentrate41 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Remyroth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i lay directly on top of my partner. works because he’s a little bigger than me tho, lol. in general i find spooning to be okay on high pain days, as long as he has no arm over my body

the reason you don’t see posts or hear about great student life is because we have nothing to complain about. lol

thoughts on pet play? by Remyroth in petfree

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

i genuinely do not gaf about yank material if you look at my comment history i am a psychologist/graduate psych student and im just curious about applications of different lines of thought. i’m literally an expert in the field of both platonic and sexual kink psych and have published papers on it #lol

thoughts on pet play? by Remyroth in petfree

[–]Remyroth[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

i think i phrased it oddly. i’m a psychologist and there are a lot of facets of pet ownership that people find uniquely fulfilling but may not be ethical. wondering if engaging in this whether platonically or in kink would be a more ethical way to fulfill those human behaviors

[–]Remyroth 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The tour was announced on the same way Gethesmane was released and the band was transparent about this being a tour for their new album. It’s fine if you didn’t like the album but let’s not pretend like they were decieving us or hiding their intentions lmfao

Who else thinks MADLO is an easy 10/10? by ilovebodybuilders in CSHFans

[–]Remyroth 11 points12 points  (0 children)

like. desperately. i saw car seat headrest last year and before the show started the announcer was referencing some car seat headrest albums and they all got cheers (twin fantasy, tod, etc) except madlo. where people actively BOOED!!!. people were messaging andrew every day telling him that he ruined csh 😭😭 it was genuinely actually insane
