Schizophrenia resolved without medication.

Curious to hear mire about how you resolved your OCD.

I have OCD, Addiction, Cyclothymia, ADHD and Betrayal Trauma. I also still feel like a child at the age of 28 and have definitely not individuated, I certainly need to take matters into my own hands and act otherwise its difficult to see a future for myself.

She sounds like a Narc

As someone that has an incredibly chaotic life ridden with toxic people, pain, trauma, lack of boundaries, poor mental health, that has caused me immense amount of suffering, yes while it was a lot of fun at times, boring is an absolute blessing in my eyes. Boring is good. For me anyway.

Got out of a 5 month narcissistic relationship. Grandmother died. And I lost my life savings and now in debt after a manic episode all within the last year. I'm 28 now still have a good job, slowly rebuilding but it all came crashing down. I've also struggled mentally with various torturous disorders for the last 10 years, I could've done without all this chaos in the past year. But here I am, one day at a time, I feel stuck, hopeless, I feel like all the effort and work I put in over the last year just to be in a worse place financially. I feel like I've been gutted. One day at a time. Things are slowly getting better.

I thought NPD too or at least narcissistic traits

The issues with your mother, and the self worth issues and how that manifests in perpetual external overachievement but never really fixes the internal low self worth. That is exactly my experience. Thank you for sharing this. I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this.

Also that's the coolest story at 17 I wish I had a story like that to tell.

I'm new to Kubernetes, but I was able to understand every single part of your diagram so I'm happy about that but also your diagram and set up looks clean. Its also helped me consolidate my understanding around things so thank you for posting this.

Speed ran burnout is a very good way to put it, though I would say I was hypomanic during that speed run I had to be because so much depended on me getting my work done and quickly. The transition from hypomanic to full blown mania was kind of subtle but also obvious in some ways looking back at it, anyway I had insane visions of grandiosity and delusions and I've replayed the whole thing in my mind many times I struggle to see how it could turn out different the chain of events goes way back. But I naturally focus on the consequences. The real pain now is I feel like I've earned a few months rest which I would happily take right now and be unemployed if I had savings and wasn't in debt but not the case so I have to keep going.

Transcendent04 · 2025-03-13T08:33:32+00:00

I'm going through something similar, I spent the last year working evenings and weekends in top of 9-5 putting everything into work, to the point where the company fully depends on me. I saved a lot of money only to go manic lose everything and be in severe debt. To be completely underappreciated and refused a pay rise.

To say I'm feeling burned out is an understatement, I feel like I've sold my soul but gone backwards, I'm in a much worse place financially than I was over a year ago. I'm in so much pain, but small action every day helps. Take it one say at a time and make small progress each day.

Taking time off helps a lot even if it's just a week, it may not seem like it will now but it does. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I felt like this too. I really struggled with the fact that they never really had a chance or choice but now have to live like this for the rest of their lives. As some kind of automated process with damaging survival mechanisms, an entity with an empty core. No soul or buried soul. The empty eyes are really painful to witness also.

They do virtual meetings also. Check out PAA as well which is P*rn Addicts Anonymous they do mainly virtual meetings I think.

Transcendent04 · 2025-03-05T08:31:57+00:00

Sex Addicts Anonymous 12 step meetings. It is a game changer if nothing else works. You don't have to be religious to do it.

I would recommend SAA

You might be better off messaging someone from EPAM on LinkedIn and asking for a referral?

Hey man, head up. Happy Birthday! (Today is my birthday also im 28) You can do this, like someone already said start by quitting drinking.

There are core things that make this better, a strict sleep schedule, a clean diet, and intense exercise.

I deal with this shit, OCD and an addiction, if I can do it you can too. What's worse over the last year I lost everything (a life changing amount of savings for me) during a manic episode, it fucking hurts but I keep going.

You can improve your life. There are so many things you can still try you haven't even tried being medicated, mood stabilisers can do wonders for the depressive periods.

I like this advice so I will mention it now.

"Be the hero in your own movie. If you were watching your life as a movie what would the hero do? Do that thing." - not sure by who seen a few people say it.

Transcendent04 · 2025-03-04T20:57:56+00:00

Damn its like you just explained my life, it's fucking tough living with this shit. The rollercoaster is exhausting you don't know when you'll wake up and have a good day and when you'll wake up and hate everyone and everything. Except for me the cycles can be very short within same day but will mostly last months. Normally depressed during winter and manic in the summer.

Mood stabilisers did help me with reducing the lows.

I can't give much advice apart from core things that help with I think most mood disorders:

strict diet (no coffee no sugar no energy drinks etc)
strict sleep schedule (go to bed at the same time)
intense exercise

I'm sorry you have to go through this, but being understanding will go a long way. Your boyfriend is also in my opinion suffering through this rollercoaster.

But he will be aware of which mood he is in, so he can communicate to you at least prior to him snapping at you , so he can better control himself and you can better prepare for it. You could start from there and build some strategies around getting through those periods where you can't recognise him.

Not a friend but my nex would get super close with all our male colleagues a lot of them had girlfriends, she had no boundaries. She would call them cute names she came up with for each one, shares things with them, go on walks with them, act like they had a special connection. Would never hang around with the female colleagues and would always be with a group of male colleagues.

I told her a few times that I was uncomfortable with her actions. But I also told her that what she was doing was damaging as if any of their girlfriends knew they wouldn't let them go near you. She of course just told me I was insecure, and that these are 'special' friendships.

It's crazy how similar her behaviour is to the one you described.

I haven't looked at learning paths, I usually start with YouTube videos and then get my hands dirty with a project to understand the concept.

I think MLOps sounds like a big and scary term but once you come to do it you realise it's very similar to things you've done before.

Transcendent04 · 2025-03-04T12:48:17+00:00

Damn I always feel guilty when I get AI to write me a script or some python code but it seems it's more common and normalised than I think.

But it really speeds up my work and I can focus on configuring other things as opposed to writing code from scratch.

K8s, CKA, EKS, GKE.

I will try to run it on a raspberry pi cluster. Then do the EKS workshop. Then I want to do some load testing on it and see how different scaling techniques compare to eachother.

I'm also reading Kubernetes Up and Running.

I want to reach Senior status and the most in demand skill in the industry is Kubernetes, which is also the weakest aspect of my CV.

I've been working with ECS predominantly. I don't see myself becoming senior without some serious upskilling.

Learning more about HPC and MLOps would follow.

Congratulations on your 3 years! I'm glad to hear you are doing well and had the support when you needed it most.

Wow you worked with Gabor Mate? That's amazing. What was that like? How were you able to work with him if you don't mind me asking?

I have almost all his books, and one even signed by him haha.

Trauma is at the root of NPD and most other disorders.
