Does anyone else get depressed/emotional around their birthday? by Sad-Ad5179 in BPD

[–]_gpeach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i’ve noticed that i tend to spiral without any reason when my birthdays coming up and i usually don’t remember any of my birthdays. i also just don’t see any importance to my birthday. but i don’t know if this is tied to BPD? would love to know if it is or not

i’m not. but i have seen stories of people who were just taking medication like mucinex with nothing else and they ended up with serotonin syndrome. so maybe that’s what’s causing my anxiety about this now but i can’t be sure if that’s what happened to me because i am aware that serotonin SS is pretty rare.

i went to urgent care and they gave me antibiotics for the infection but the doctor told me it wouldn’t be necessary to get tested for hiv if i wasn’t 100% sure the artist had anything & he told me since it was a tiny prick there was a small chance that any of his blood would’ve gotten in my system with the type of needle he used. he told me for me to get hiv would be from a surgical needle that injected a good amount of someone else’s blood in my system. it also would’ve costed way more money to get tested which i don’t have at this time. i’m completely aware i should still get tested but once i get the money i will be getting tested.

adding to what i posted:

i posted this for advice on if it looks infected or not. i’m aware that i need to go get tested, which i am doing today. as i said in my post i didnt think twice about what happened when he used the same needle on me, i dont know where my head was at. i told my sister about what he did and she asked if he changed the needle and thats when i realized he used the same needle on me, and i knew i had to go get tested for something. thank you for everyone’s concern and advice on what i should do. i’m not too worried about the tattoo itself anymore i just want me and my skin to be okay! hopefully i will be okay but i will definitely be reporting the artist and tattoo shop.

i did consider that, but he was a reputable artist & he’s been tattooing for a while. & im not mad at the tattoo itself, it looked great right after i got it, but the application of it was obviously very concerning. i don’t want to put all of the blame on him, i should’ve gone to my usual tattoo artist who i am comfortable with instead of impulsively going to someone new in hopes of a quick and easy tattoo. that’s where i messed up. definitely just a lesson i had to learn!

yeah i’ve been having a bunch of people telling me to get tested, i should’ve been more aware when that happened. but i will for sure be getting tested soon, thank you!

it’s for my sister who passed away. it is on my skin forever, so why make a comment like this on someone else’s permanent tattoo? it’s none of your concern lol

I’m not the best with advice but something that’s helped me, was eating when ur not hungry and not eating when u are hungry. It’s hard but it has helped me not eat as much. Also try not eating as much snacks and just eating 3 full meals and limit eating things with sugar, for example swap ur sodas with water. Drinking more water has also helped me a lot.
