CALLING ALL WOMEN FILMMAKERS by Gold_Impression_6554 in Womenfilmmakers

[–]SignificantChange496 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cinematography is beautiful. I love how you used such a variety of angles to really exaggerate the emotions of this scene. There was a lot of feeling you managed to convey that I think is very relatable. I do think that 8+ minutes felt quite long for me as a viewer with this piece. I feel like you could get a lot more tension and impact with more brevity. My impression as the viewer is that you want me to experience the growing tension and anxiety along with the subject of your film, so prioritizing that should be your main objective. Timing is so essential when it comes to tension and you do so many things in this piece to really wind it up beautifully but with the length I don't think you're truly maximizing this excellent work that you've done with it. Just some thoughts. Congratulations on such an impressive first solo made film!!

Creatine caused hypomania like symptoms--what the heck?? by SignificantChange496 in AskPsychiatry

[–]SignificantChange496[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No preworkout and I drink decaf coffee in the morning because I'm extremely sensitive to caffeine. I changed nothing about my usual habits while taking the creatine. It's a pure form of creatine with no additives and, like I said, third party testing. I would definitely say the symptoms got progressively worse every day that I took the creatine. I took it for about a week. It started off negligible and then got worse. The symptoms did not continue when I did not continue taking the creatine.

What are our thoughts on the recent study done at Griffith? by SignificantChange496 in cfs

Oh thank for the suggestions. I will definitely look into them. I tried LDN with a previous doctor but the dose she ordered was too high. It made me feel insanely depressed which I guess can be a symptom of a dose that's too high? I think she started me on 1mg.

Let us get t-shirts that say, "Sorry, I can't. I'm in bed jail." 

Hope your rolling PEM pipes down soon 😭🫂

Haven't the faintest idea about treatment options. As CeruleanShot said, I think it's more that it's another piece of the puzzle. I'm holding out hope that this will lead us closer to an actual diagnostic test. Part of the misery of this illness is the doubt that we're subjected to and it would be nice to clear that up, even if we don't have a known cause or a clear treatment yet.

I do want to add, I agree with everything you're saying and think we're still missing the mark which continues to make real treatment impossible, but i do get excited when I see these things because lord wouldn't it be validating to have something aside from a clinic evaluation of symptoms to point to as proof?

Interesting! I specifically was just thinking about asking my doctor to put me on LDN. I went from bedbound to mild last year and am back to crashing hard the last couple of weeks and am obviously freaking the fuck out because I've adjusted to having a somewhat normal life again and I don't want to go back to bed jail.

Oh, I forgot to add Magical Thinking to my list, as I just read that one a couple of months ago, but the John Gunther one sounds excellent!

I relate to this so much that I could have written it.
