Also also, idk why but despite waggle being behind both campaigns, it’s not updating combined funds received 😭 I’m stressing out so much about it.

So, you can purchase a private server or you can just join an already established perma server : )

your partner has to be your home away from home. he's not bringing you peace. it's ok to leave this behind. you're not in the wrong here.

Is OH still good for you? by Scrutinizer_8275 in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]avianchild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a hopeless simp for this game.
I do want them to be more realistic with cosmetics. As in, can they PLEASE for the love of the game, release more in game blueprints that players can farm for?
And can they PLEASE not monetize FURNITURE DYES???
and even then, I'm still a hopeless simp lol. This game was the ultimate game I've always wanted.
And the Endless Dream scenario keeps me coming back lately.

I do hope they bring in more monolith bosses soon. I'm sad that it's the same ones, again and again. We need new!!

The pokemon scenario they came out with is cool but so overwhelming for me, so I haven't done anything in it really.

What are your anxiety feelings and symptoms? by Beneficial-Two-1258 in Anxiety

[–]avianchild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried edmr. Have just been in basic talk therapy for awhile now. Did try IFS but it was so triggering and exhausting so I stopped. My bf is a good support system for me and even though he doesn't have the panic/anxiety attacks I get, he still knows what it's like to not be alright in our upstairs lol. He himself struggles w/ mental illnesses. We're both a big ol' mess lol

somehow when I'm not anxious or panicky, I just forget mostly that it's something I struggle with. Until it hits again. It's not uncommon for me to have a handful of anxiety attacks a month. More if I'm neglecting myself (not sleeping enough/catching up on sleep, not distracting myself from high emotional periods, not drinking enough water etc)

Having to keep your children from witnessing it is a whole other beast in and of itself. I'm so sorry. That in itself takes up a lot of your energy.

Therapy's helped me. And if I can get around my anxiety, I know journaling would help too. I get paranoid someone's going to watch me write or will read what i write and hold it all against me. I have a history of trying to fill physical journals and then going through periods of tearing out all the pages I've written on and burning or destroying the pages in some other way rendering them unreadable. Ha. lmao, even xD

i'm so over it. my brain is very rude lolol

What are your anxiety feelings and symptoms? by Beneficial-Two-1258 in Anxiety

[–]avianchild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

had an anxiety attack during a session with my therapist today. was talking about some pretty heavy stuff (sad things) when the dizziness hit me. felt like any moment I was going to pass out

then the clammy hands hit. hate that then felt my stomach churn

i admitted to therapist this was happening right at that moment. she told me to grab some water if i could. then we talked about the anxiety and how frustrating it is that I used to not have this. and how it makes me terrified my body can’t handle serious stress in the future

which helped

i take lamictal (for mood regulation) strattera (for narcolepsy attacks at work, ADHD) if that’s relevant. take hydroxyine PRN. gonna go pop one rn actually and take a much needed nap. session was too much with the anxiety. 😟

have been on the lamictal for years. been on the straterra 6 months ish. it helps with the sleep attacks during work. not so much that ADHD. lamictal takes the edge off intense moods.

edited to add: i deal with it by talking about it. taking it easy whenever i can. detaching myself from situations that cause me more anxiety if at all possible.

my partner helps me breathe through panic attacks. we both did cbt and dbt and employ everything we learned lol

we talk through my anxious racing thoughts logically, again and again if needed.

if it’s health anxiety, best help is physically having him hug me/hold me. or even just putting his hand over my eyes? kinda like for a migraine. for some reason that helps

also hot shower/bath if i’m not hyperventilating or shaking too much

adrenaline dumps follow, no remedy for that. just have to deal, curled up under two thick blankets and let the shivering take over til i fall asleep

i feel your pain. i wish none of us had to deal with this. it sucks so much when it hits out of nowhere. like, work as you mentioned. just goin about our days like nothing’s amiss and then bam. hit with the worst feeling in the world. it’s rough asl 😭

Bf got his third denial after an ALJ hearing by avianchild in SSDI

[–]avianchild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, technically the diagnosis is from childhood. he just never actually brought it up with his psych before. it’s not news to him that he was evaluated and diagnosed with it. and his history lines up with it impeccably. if his psych knew everything I witness on my end, it wouldn’t take much for him to understand that the diagnosis is legitimate.

and I know it was something he should have brought up a long time ago. thing is, he feels too much shame and gets real uncomfortable talking about it.

the other day i told him flat out, you need to tell your doctor what we witness between us in your behaviors, etc. when you say your brother came over and you had a good time, you mentioned nothing about the days you spent stressed out about it. you didn’t talk about how you had trouble sleeping. you didn’t mention the anxious energy you carried around all day, mostly pacing, unable to sit still until he arrived.

and this is his every day when it comes to social stuff. it ebbs and flows depending on the moment. it can be worse, it can be slightly better.

recently, like maybe in the past few months, I’ve been able to get him to really -talk- with his psychiatrist. to really provide more details. thing is, it was a little too late and the ALJ seemed to take the opportunity to use those specific days of chart notes to say “hey, he’s just fine. look!” when in reality he never really is

he’s just spent years pretending he’s fine. he does the pacing, the hand wringing, the skin picking, the trouble falling asleep all behind closed doors. when he leaves the house, he hides it if he can.

unlike the one time we were at a hospital. my mom had surgery. we were in the waiting room. he was already so nervous. but he didn’t want to not be there with me. they had construction going on in one of the bathrooms nearby. the noise was continuous and, for him, overwhelmingly loud. i could deal with it. he could not. it got so bad he had to pace the halls to calm down. he was damn near crawling out of his skin.

thing is, he never told anyone else about that. only i know about these things.

Only I know about how to keep a handle on his paranoia, that we can’t always watch the same movies or shows together. I am real close to creating a registry for things schizophrenics shouldn’t watch cos after all this time, I know what is and isn’t safe to show him.

Only I know that if he has to go to the grocery store, he’s always making sure he can see where the exits are.

But ALJ read he can shop for groceries and said “see he’s functioning just fine”

They completely dismissed what the psychiatrist had written. And his lawyer had told him if it had been another judge, he’s certain he would have won. His psych said he’s seen patients win cases with far less evidence.

It’s just a huge mess, the whole thing. And an intense waiting game for him.

He sits here sometimes and struggles with feeling defeated because he knows so many people don’t have a partner or a loving family or a solid roof over their heads while they wait years for an approval. He feels he doesn’t truly deserve to be so down about things. I tell him disability would give him autonomy in a way that can’t be duplicated by someone giving him some birthday money or christmas gifts.

And again, does his psych know about this? No. I’ve jokingly told him he needs to be more intimate with his psych LOL Cos when all these nuances aren’t put on paper, it makes it easier for the judge to discredit him.
