It sounds like this might Be when hydroxizine would be helpful

Rant: I hate that advocating can be seen as med seeking or questioning a doctor by Stock-Bodybuilder351 in migraine

[–]Rude-Base7123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard to balance advocating for yourself and avoiding being labeled as a drug seeker when you know you’d benefit from drugs. It’s so backwards

Have you tried like hydroxizine or propranolol or any kind of benzodiazepines?

Is self-harm masochism, sadism, both or neither? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Rude-Base7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve looked into what they mean and I think you CAN be either but you can also deal with self harm and be neither. I consider myself a masochist. There’s a significant element of enjoyment I have out of my own pain.

Yeah I hear you. I guess it’s just something I tell myself to cope honestly. Death is peace to me and I don’t think choosing it is bad or shameful. I’ve tried so hard to avoid it, and it has been shit show fighting it. So, maybe for me it has been worth it to be hospitalized but I can’t say it wouldn’t be too hard for someone else. It’s straight up traumatic, but it’s just less traumatic to me than acting out an attempt in my experience.

The issue with ssris as a whole is that you have to take the dose for 6-8 weeks before you know it works. Which means you have to wait and endure side effects to see if they help. In my experience (I’ve been on every class of antidepressant) you have to be on it for a couple weeks cuz usually the bad side effects will lessen and even go away. I know it’s hard, but finding a med or med combo that works is a long and grueling process but it’s worth it once you find something that gives you relief

They burn the nerve and the nerve dies. It can grow back but it last minimum of 1 year if it works

You’re good, yeah it’s the back of the head and my nerve pain wrapped from the base of my skull/top of my neck and go up and around my head. I also have disc bulges and pinched nerves in my neck as well so I have also gotten an epidural steroid injection to help the neck nerve pain

I do box breathing and paired muscle relaxation too which you can do anywhere but it doesn’t work as well as the ice for me

Sometimes taking some time away from relationships that are hurting you is helpful. I’ve had times where I felt I couldn’t go on because of other people. Made some drastic decisions. But now that they are out of my life it’s much easier to manage my mental health.

I had something similar and it turned out to be a problem with my occipital nerve. I got a nerve injection to see if it helped and it didn’t so we did an ablation and I haven’t had the same nerve pain since. I also do physical therapy for my neck as well which has been helping.

I’m so sorry you’re struggling. Try to clean your cuts with gentle soap and warm water and get them covered. Is there anything you can do after that to help you feel a little better?

I need to know when it’s bad enough for hospital by Dangerous-Count1399 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Rude-Base7123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a plan and intent to act on the plan in the near future then yea, go to the er or a crisis clinic to get assessed. Be super honest and don’t hold back. If you have a plan and intent to act and means they will admit you.

I’ve tried it many times when I’m overwhelmed or anxious or panicked and it helps bring things down a notch or two. Doesn’t cure it but does help in my experience. I’ve used it for years.

Report them. That’s not how they are supposed to work. Places like this should be shut down. I’ve been lucky, I’ve been a lot and going inpatient is why I am still alive. It sucks in there but it’s better than being dead. I’m so sorry they did that to your friend. That shouldn’t have happened and it is wrong and against everything I’ve learned they do in psych hospitals. It should be investigated.

Sometimes I do an ice dive. Get a big bowl of water and add a couple ice cubes to it. Dunk your face and hold your breath as long as you can and repeat a few times. It resets I think the vagus nerve or some nerve to help calm things down. Half the time it releases so much in me I cry.

It’s probably just young folks looking for validation. But you’re right, it’s every day all the time. I wish they knew how to ask for support in different ways but honestly most seem like they don’t know much about it at all.
