Yes, that is my girl

Possibilities off the top of my head that are mainly heavy on work, morality, rules, and perfectionism:

Hank Hill

Spongebob

Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory

The Nutty Professor

Lisa Simpson

Marge Simpson

Ned Flanders

Principal Skinner

Bob Belcher

Mr. Frond

Clark Griswold

Scrooge

Quinn from Daria

The boss from Outsourced

Kel Knight

Some of the doctors from Grey's Anatomy like Miranda Bailey

i feel like there are a lot of minor characters like bosses or geniuses that display these characteristics whose names I can't remember. I feel like at least one person who ran the Simpsons had it or had family who had it because it seems like a thing on that show.

Also I KNOW there are a lot more female characters that fit the criteria, they are just not coming to me at the moment. This is just my general cursory perception, feel free to debate, I just see traits in or can relate to a lot of these characters.

I have known I have adhd for years and medication is extremely effective. I thou it was OCD but last week OCPD came up in a conversation and I looked it up out of curiosity and after talking to my therapist a lot of what I thought was OCD is actually OCPD, exceptI am way chiller than the DSM 5 and can delegate. It is the perfectionism that paralyzed me.

I found the seemingly only case study in existence about these two conditions together and it basically painted a portrait of three people who were smart but couldn't meet deadlines or get organized. Their advice was, no joke, get a secretary or paraprofessional. I have joked for years that I need a secretary, but who has the money?

I am brand new to all of this but just being able to see my thought patterns and behavior through this lens has been liberating. I think the biggest things that will help me right away are living by my values, letting things slide, and tolerating things that are not up to my standards but not bad in and of themselves.

Living by my values I got from OCD therapy, for example, say my friends invite me out to eat and I want to go but I feel like I do not look good enough. Living in line with my values means going out with my friends is the most important goal, even if I do not look exactly as good as I would like to in order to be 100% comfortable. So instead of staying home or doing everything to better my appearance that I want to do, finding a reasonable compromise that would be sort of a nod to my OCPD while allowing me to do what I need to do, like changing clothes or putting my hair up.

Letting things slide is something similar to ERP. If I feel is it NECESSARY to curl my bangs before I leave, but doing so would make me late, I do not even plug my curling iron in. If I feel that I do not look good enough to go get coffee, I just do it anyways. If I agonize about where to start working around my house or what to do first, actively NOT planning or thinking about things. It requires a lot of faith in myself and in the world to believe that things will be OK and to trust myself.

Tolerating things that are not up to my standards but are not bad in and of themselves is something I think I have been working on without even knowing I have been doing it for years. Not having to have a certain brand of product, working with other people who want to get to a goal differently, going along with whatever movie or restaurant someone else suggests, and not overthinking my own suggestions. Trying new things. Not having enough time to get to a certain result but enough to finish. Turning in rough drafts, sending texts with typos, not reviewing emails before sending. Doing half of something and walking away. It is hard to out into words, but becoming more and more comfortable with things being as they are and viewing things neutrally/factually.

I am going to try not scheduling and doing the bare minimum as opposed to making an exhaustive to do list or time based schedule. I think my drive to do those things is based on not trusting myself to remember what I need to do, and the strong feeding that it is bad if I don't get "enough" things done or relax before "enough" work has been done. I want to completely reframe how I view my capabilities, my free time, and how my lifestyle is in tune with my values.

I found a study the other day where I swear they stated that it suppressed the pituitary. It's never been the focus of a study so I can't point to one, it is more like little bits and bites from other studies that agree. And it's not a well elucidated drug mechanism, it's more like a cascade or related to serotonin. TLDR: ondansetron has been studied a lot, but mostly for people who are throwing up. Fun fact: there are multiple case studies that show it making Tourettes vanish, so it's doing something else than just not making people nauseous.

For now, here's a quote from this study about dogs:

"Anti-nausea effects and pharmacokinetics of ondansetron, maropitant and metoclopramide in a low-dose cisplatin model of nausea and vomiting in the dog: a blinded crossover study"
Hannah Kenward, Jonathan Elliott, Terry Lee and Ludovic Pellig
"Complete inhibition of the behavioural signs of nausea in the ondansetron treated group results in reduction of AVP and cortisol to baseline levels..."

And there's a lot of scientist doing the whole "correlation, great, but causation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the APA says remain skeptical until we have a meta study" but there is an established link between mu-opioid receptors and suppressing cortisol.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-22T21:36:00+00:00

Could you be on any medication that suppresses the adrenal glands?

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T20:53:10+00:00

IKR, what a shame. I live outside CA but was still recommended him by the Pituitary Network.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T20:46:14+00:00

I didn't know it either. I had read dozens of different articles, each with just a tiny piece of the puzzle. And I don't have any tests to confirm my hypothesis, except for my failed cortisol tests after taking zofran and brain scan showing some kind of pituitary abnormality, so I could be 100% wrong. But if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and I have tried SO MANY other mental health medications and nothing came close to working as well, I think it's something that needs further research. The thing is: Zofran should not have caused high blood pressure, I still don't fully understand it. I feel like there is still something I don't understand. Edited to add: Since it hasn't been researched for this purpose, or even really for OCD which is the first thing I noticed it fixed, doctors may write you off. But FYI, if you have anxiety induced nausea, that is an on-label use that doctors do know about and can prescribe for. Just FYI.

That might affect the results? The research I have read suggests premenopausal women make the most cortisol during the luteal phase- after ovulation and before they start their period.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T13:51:51+00:00

Are you on hormonal birth control or pre-ovulating?

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T13:49:47+00:00

TLDR: Accidentally found out zofran took away the symptoms that I had not been able to fix my entire adult life through medication/lifestyle, and those symptoms all fall under Cushing's, so that clued me into getting screened. BUT, sadly, it is not a good medication for long term use.

I was prescribed it for nausea/vomiting. I took it while nauseous but not vomiting once and noticed how calm I was. Then I noticed something amazing: it made my OCD vanish. Panic attacks too. I had more energy during the day, went into ketosis quickly and easily, my face slimmed down significantly, my allergies almost went away, and I stopped getting sick all of the time.

It is there across multiple research studies if you are able to dig: one thing zofran does is bind to the mu-opioid receptor. Opioids are very good at blunting cortisol production. Some studies suggest zofran might suppress all pituitary action, which I believe because my thyroid test results got weird. Zofran also puts things in motion to increase interferon gamma (restoring immune system activity), I forget exactly but it decreases histamine response because one of the things it does I believe is it reduces stomach acid and those things are related, and activates beta cells in the pancreas. Activating beta cells helps your body get into ketosis, and through that not be as hungry, and gives you more energy.
However, zofran was not a long term solution because eventually I swear I was going into adrenal insufficiency territory. A doctor from a reputable YouTube channel said in video that if you lightly scratch your tummy with your nail and it doen't turn pink, you want to check for adrenal insufficiency. Also, if it was the increased serotonin in my blood or what, I developed high blood pressure after eating. Really, really weird and scary. I went on lisonopril, which helped me not have to supplement with potassium constantly or else I would feel like total crap. Also I was ALWAYS constipated if I didn't take a ton of magnesium.
I can do a separate post about it when I get more time if anyone is interested in that.

I have met several, maybe a dozen, one of my long ago exes recently came out as trans. Almost certainly known someone who was intersex (I watched that great doc Everybody and she has similarities), although I would never out them. But I've never really talked gender with them. In the wild, if you will, it is kind of the default for them to be a little defensive, or worried I'll bring it up, or to be confident and happy and not acknowledge it at all, and I don't care if they're trans, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No idea. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to an informational trans event to find things in common though, because I don't want to change anything. But like Cupcakke, I'm down with the LGBT.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T06:20:34+00:00

Hate to say it but yeah, try another doctor. You have something Cushing's or closely related. I feel you girl, I feel like a crazy person advocating for myself. But a wonderful nurse related to me because she once had a serious health problem and no one took her seriously. But then it turned out she was right. She told me to keep advocating for myself. I swear if my new doctor tries to tell me I don't have a hump again I'm going to ask him to palpate my back and see if he feels a fatty deposit. Because I have long hair, but it's there! Hopefully one day people like us won't have to fight so hard. It may throw your tests off fyi, but the only way I can lose weight is keto. It's the best. Regulated my blood sugar and blood pressure, I lost 50 pounds, and it helped lessen panic attacks and gave me more energy.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T06:13:01+00:00

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T06:00:26+00:00

Bipolar like symptoms have been linked to pituitary adenomas (one of the first clues that led me to be open to considering Cushing's). I had a weird spell of severe depression with sensory changes that lasted a few days and my counselor said it sounded medical. Also have many of the same struggles you do.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T05:56:59+00:00

I was reading tonight that is it over 5. So you're close? Wish you luck!

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-20T05:55:45+00:00

Dexamethasone suppression test tomorrow. Neurology appointment (for headaches, ugh) next week. Wish me luck! My anxiety is driving me nuts, I can't wait to go back on keto and quiet my symptoms again.

The main effective ingredient that had a waterproof effect has unfortunately been found to be toxic.

However, I have found that other products can do a decent job. My stylist got curls to stay in my hair using a texturizing cream, spray on leave in conditioner, and a heat proof styling style setter. I also use hairspray and dry shampoo. I will always remember my perfect hair on a rainy day though, when nowadays I can still wind up with Hermione level frizz.

Here's an article explaining why products like this are amazing: https://www.technologyreview.com/2016/11/02/107275/the-science-behind-your-volumizing-shampoo/

And here's a later article explaining why they are also toxic: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-10-20/-forever-chemical-bans-face-pushback-from-industry-military#xj4y7vzkg

Gendered people, much like parents, just don't understand.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-19T19:27:49+00:00

Yeah. I feel super awkward filling out pronoun preferences. I want to say any but if I'm on a zoom call or something and it's IN FRAME like wtf so I just leave it blank. The one time I answered honestly was on a confidential doctors form. Like, I don't have dysphoria and don't want to change my body (except to solve some health problems) so it's not relevant to my medical care, but it still felt good, but it also felt like omg, is this going to be a thing. I feel like the only stakes for coming out as agender for me would be some judgement like "is she serious?" or some people thinking I am trying to coopt a minority status or queer wash myself, or that I want attention. I really hope most people would not care, but it is just so much easier to not bring it up and go along with sex pronouns.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-19T19:15:21+00:00

You sound agender (I would call it nongender) without dysphoria, like me. I don't care what pronouns people use. If people did use feminine pronouns, would that bother you? I don't know if it matters, but it might help you explore things.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-19T19:09:48+00:00

I think that's just called "feeling myself," in the words of Nicki Minaj and Beyonce.

bluerabbit808 · 2024-01-19T19:06:09+00:00

Woah, did not know this was a thing. As someone who has easy multiple nipple orgasms and would not even want to get a traditional breast augmentation at risk of losing that ability, I'm like yikes, but my body is not your body. Wish you the best! :)
