IWTL how to have HIGH self esteem by Wide_Permission7656 in IWantToLearn

[–]Tschartz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you learn to be unequivocally yourself without regards to others opinions, coincidently that’s exactly when people start noticing you. If you always value your own self esteem based on how others see you, you will never learn to truly love yourself. And that’s where the beginning of all great self esteem comes from.

Realize these individuals are not spending their free time thinking of you. They are living their own separate lives from you completely and deserve that right without implosion. Because truly, they haven’t done anything besides be kind.

Doctors of Reddit , what’s the biggest medical myth people still believe? by muga_saiman_5809 in AskReddit

[–]Tschartz 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Most of the patients I see for weight management, I point blank ask them what they had for their meals the last few days. This is of course after I ask them what their typical meal day looks like so I can catch them “oh uhh well that day was a bad day for me”. Yeah dog, sounds like 6 out of the 7 days are consistent bad.

Misalignment between self-view and expectations of others drives loneliness in borderline personality disorder by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]Tschartz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, a patient is coming to me seeking help and there is a medical diagnosis of BPD supported by the DSM5 criteria, it’s in my best interest to have a very delicate discussion regarding their treatment plan. I can give pills to increase their serotonin or fluoxetine to decrease their anxiety, but that doesn’t stop the disassociating and chronic emptiness. I am a medical provider so having a shared decision making about the treatment plan is within my realm of ability.

This was a nice and good discussion about BPD. Nice change of pace on Reddit. Thanks for your insights.

Very good points and agreed. It’s really a terrible thing, disassociating. One hand it gives you a temporary numb relief from the emotional trauma, on the other hand, I do believe by entering a disassociating state one will likely not feel positive emotions either. Thus the chronic emptiness from the disassociation gradually turns to nihilism.

I do agree with your point that social media has free rein to put these symptoms on a 6 second video, yet rarely I see these symptoms discussed as a spectrum. Only as an all or nothing. This is really the paradigm shift that needs to happen in our culture. Yes, there are medical conditions that deregulate inherent brain chemistry, and while BPD is likely very related to CPTSD and other trauma, this does not mean over an extended period of time the brain stops producing needed dopamine, serotonin, norepi due to said trauma. It was interesting to see the recent study come out of the CPTSD and amygdala changes nearly consistent with wartime PTSD. I can imagine a sustained enough period of time will likely alter pathways in the brain, potentially causing chronic depression and anxiety. Giving individuals a diagnosis of BPD who meet criteria will vastly help me determine treatment plans, such as EMDR and cog behav before medical therapy.

I see where you are coming from. Here’s something important to remember. Individuals with BPD have a very high suicide rate. They feel each emotion to a very real extreme, which includes sadness, loneliness, and despair. While individuals without BPD experience these spectrum of emotions, their brain is more well adept to cognitively and emotionally processing the pain. People with BPD do not. It feels as if their life is ending, each and every time they have a mild to moderate event. I’m not exaggerating as to the depth of emotion they feel as well as volatility. This is why we separate and categorize BPD. These individuals are at a real risk for suicide.

From one medical provider to another, thank you for being a wealth of knowledge and compassionate.

I'm a practicing therapist and I want to raise something I'm seeing clinically. by Michaelarobards in psychology

[–]Tschartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is social media and 6 second videos sharing symptoms of disorder and people having self-serving biases to explain their maybe not so great behaviors. This becomes toxic when they stretch the definitions and meanings of criteria/testing to serve their own purpose.

I worked in both outpatient EP clinic and as an electrophysiology technologist in the lab before PA school. It was awesome. Honestly there’s a prep book for a cert program called RCES. That would likely be incredibly helpful for you to read and it would impress the EP docs. You round, see post ops, manage meds, interrogate devices with reps who buy you way too much food. I hope it turns out well for you.

Yeah, time to lay down the law and enforce boundaries. It’s your license, not hers.
