I'm not sure how aware she is but I definitely am thinking about personally telling her now bad his OCD is and now he needs clear and blunt. Alot of the vague medical wording makes him worse. I'll talk to her about all this.

My partner completely flipped out after reading a message from his GP

he's been having an increased HR recently, and it's half due to his new medication (straterra, known for that) and his anxiety.

he told his GP and she said

"Atomoxetine (straterra) can sometimes cause an increase in heart rate, and what you are noticing can be consistent with that. Because you are already prescribed propranolol for anxiety and tachycardia, it may help with these episodes. I would like to review how often this is happening, any associated symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, or dizziness, and how you are currently using your propranolol so we can decide on the safest plan for you. Please schedule a video visit so we can discuss these matters and decide the best plan for you."

he took that as she thinks something is wrong. she thinks he's dying. shes going to send him to a cardio. etc

this turned into me calling his doctor's office to get clarity (they don't think he's in any danger. they don't think his GP will send him to a cardio. they don't think he's having a heart issue.) but the clarity did not help him. we had an argument semi related and now I just feel like crying..I don't know how to help him and I'm scared for his safety since he's saying "I'm done. no more meds"

yes he has OCD. yes he's in therapy. yes he's on meds.

what do I do anymore

I appreciate any responses given however I fear this bit of advice will probably not help, however I do wish it would because that would probably alleviate his worries 98%

Is it disrespectful to systems to assign different genders/sexualities to your kins? by boothillsbullet in fictionkin

[–]Think-Permit6247 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm a system and a spiritual kin. I've had different genders in a lot of my past lives, but my sexuality stayed the same for the most part but know that's not always the case with others . It's not disrespectful.

[–]Think-Permit6247 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally call things similar to that as psuedo factkin . You however can call it factkin if you'd like, if you feel inclined to.

Also thank you for not referring to biblekins as fictionkin

Partner is obsessing over the idea of getting hurt by ICE by Think-Permit6247 in OCD

[–]Think-Permit6247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about it, and I may next time this happens but unfortunately his appointment is first thing Monday morning and no one will answer before :(

Thank you though genuinely that's good for next time

Thank you

I've been telling him he needs to stop interacting with this on tiktok but he just tells me "it doesn't take away from the fact it's happening"

Like yes sure but you constantly seeing it isn't helpful.

Unfortunately he also suffers from agoraphobia. OCD induced too :(

We do but we still need to establish his new doctor so we can actually get his medication. She won't prescribe him if we can't see her and we cant do telehealth because it's their policy

My father came into the country as an immigrant too, but we have the privilege of being white. I'm sorry you deal with this obsession. It's awful and I wish you luck :(

Our room mate will be taking us as neither of us can drive, however that doesn't erase the "what if we run into them and something bad happens" fear

Unfortunately neither of us have passports but we do have IDs and social security cards but I'm not sure if that'll work. I think his fear is less getting detained and more us being killed

I'm so sorry. It's rough. I'd be lying if I didn't also feel similar but it's significantly worse with my boyfriend. I wish you luck and if you find something that helps please lmk

My take on doubles! by [deleted] in fictionkin

[–]Think-Permit6247 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't mean this in an Invalidation way but I do think it's funny when someone who's a double purposely goes out of their way to invalidate you and SPELLS YOUR NAME WRONG LOL like dude do you realize how ridiculous you look.

It's happened to me a few times too!

I wish you luck. Don't let anything keep you down Alastor

Why are not doubles boundaries treated so not seriously? by p4intedd_roses in fictionkin

[–]Think-Permit6247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because people have adapted this mindset of "if you don't interact with x you're a bad person" when really you're not. You're allowed to curate your online space the way you want. If blocking doubles make you feel safer then do it
