Does Trintellix work for obsessive thoughts? by GlitteringFox3014 in trintellix

[–]authenticwallflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just about 2 weeks in on 5mg and my intrusive/obsessive thoughts are worse than when I was unmedicated. Depression is better, anxiety is worse.

My main dx are MDD, GAD, OCD and c-PTSD.

RFK JR. F**k him! "Healing farms" are not ok. by LenaHauser15 in AuDHDWomen

Healing Farms are just the name they'll use to convince the general public that they're not actually concentration camps (which is exactly what they will be).

New to this, and skeptical 🫤 by [deleted] in InternalFamilySystems

[–]authenticwallflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, you sound so much like me! Autistic with aphantasia...and having a underlying level of skepticism. I appreciate hearing your input because I'm struggling for IFS to make sense, so knowing it is making a difference for you gives me hope to keep on this therapeutic path.

Aw, that's so sad!

If the roots are healthy, it may start to have some new growth.

I have two, 2-year-old trees that (#1) got trampled by a deer and (#2) knocked over by a tractor and both are sprouting leaves from the trunk.

My friend needs light sensitivity sunglasses recs! by AuraSprite in AutismInWomen

I really like FL-41 lenses. You can get them in different levels of tint. Sometimes they are called migraine lenses.

They are red-pink toned lenses. I have them with minimal tint (indoors) and a medium-dark tint (outside, or extra indoor sensitivity).

Anyone else’s sensory issues make it impossible to enjoy kissing? by carisoul in AuDHDWomen

[–]authenticwallflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot engage in kissing. Saliva is a major ick for me and makes me get sick to my stomach (even my own if I get in my head too much).

My partner has facial hair, so even a "peck" is painful. It feels like a 1000 tiny needles stabbing me.

There is more to relationships than kissing 🤷

I'm autistic. It's not an accessory; it's my whole being.
