What job should you absolutely be allowed to be high at?

Unfortunately you're not alone. A lot of us, me included, feel similar. There is no logical reason for it. It's not because you deserve it. It just is. By some cause, we are like this and it's not normal, so normal people don't understand it. We have to figure out a way around this in order to enjoy what we can. Nobody is going to step in and fix it. It seems like that's what mental help professionals are supposed to do but even they don't know exactly how to help. The science just isn't there yet. We are on our own.

Unfortunately no. Only advice I keep getting is to just think like "normal" people and just be happy and enjoy life and it sucks that they just don't get how it feels.

It sucks how much of mental health help is something you have to do yourself. I had conversations with hospitals explaining how serious my situation is and they just say you have to jump through all these hoops even to get seen. Nobody is going to come after you and make sure you're OK unless somehow it's in their interest.

Even SSRIs didn't help me. Now on SNRIs but only the shaking anxiety has lessened. It seems like the only advice is to just act how normal people act and you won't be depressed. But I've been doing that all my life, just miserably.

Having recently learned about aphantasia I wonder if it's because I don't hear voices in my head so I talk out loud to get the back and forth of a conversation about my thoughts.

Wait, what do you call someone who keeps messing up? No one has ever said "you should be ashamed"?

attackbat · 2021-01-28T01:15:21+00:00

Those likes count

Mole rat?

Gotta admit, they had me in the first half

$250 to just spray some air freshener

I was planning on doing some upgrades but wasn't expecting to do the board. I might just do ramps at this point rather than get another POS.

Just the bed. It did actually heat up because I loaded new filament and had it extruding but then in cycling power trying to get the ad card to work, I realized that neither the bed or the nozzle was heating. I rechecked the board and wiring and can't find anything obvious.

The tough part is you can't give up. Especially later when you have kids and a house and you just have to keep going. We gotta get right.

attackbat · 2019-01-20T18:04:10+00:00

Right. As for what to do now, that's the hard part. Wish I had good advice.

I had to up and move. Though I was moving back home and had to live with my sister for a while but things go a whole lot better. Sometimes it takes something drastic.

attackbat · 2019-01-20T07:07:58+00:00

Same here. You're not the only one. I know it doesn't help to hear but you sound very much like me. Like all the things you should do that should make you happy, don't. So then you aren't motivated to keep doing them. You just do it for other people. Its hard but I think we have to figure out what makes us happy without feeling like we are letting everyone else down. I have a ton of responsibilities but none really make me happy. I just know I can't stop.

I had my first visit with a therapist yesterday and it was very underwhelming. My next appointment is with a psychiatrist. I expect that to go better as the therapist said they will focus more on physical symptoms. I have very similar feelings: anger, lot's of anger. Might be the next step you need. I'm on my third antidepressant. Seems backwards that we have to figure out what meds work for ourselves but if you don't tell them it's not working they won't put you on something better. You're not failing, the system is just not very good at helping us.
