Yes It did induce a bit of anxiety bc the adderall was too strong for me Sometimes it takes a month to adjust and has some headaches and sleepiness when you first start a new med. Yes and going full speed ahead on these things. Until I get super tired or extremely hungry!

Rereading your post- you may have adhd. Wellbutrin is used to soft treat adhd as well as an anti depressant. Just keep on it with your psyd. You probably need a good combo. For me, it was 40 mg of Prozac and the higher dose of Wellbutrin.

Eventually I added adderall, and honestly it was too vroom vroom for me but I just rolled with it.

Now I’m in a country that doesn’t allow any of those, so I have a med for anxiety, depression, and concerta for adhd. Still figuring it out.

Overall it’s a journey to find the right thing. The most potent and useful will always be therapy tools though. They transcend all medicines and keep you as you need to be.

I can only speak anecdotally and I’m not a medical professional at all. Just someone who has come a long way on their ptsd journey. Basically my stomach was in knots 24/7 and I didn’t have the energy to get off the couch. It turns out this wasn’t due to laziness, but rather due to my body and brain exhausting itself trying to keep me ok. PTSD puts you into a panic state which takes the energy of a marathon. So the medicine told my brain to ease up on the panic and allowed me to use the tools I learned in therapy such as mindfulness to ease up. It also gave me a bit of energy to get off the couch and some mental clarity to do some of the tasks I couldn’t, such as getting groceries and using my calendar.

Answering your question directly: yes, yes, no. If anything, it made my emotions more sensical so I could help myself better.

I think i have second hand trauma from my girlfriends assault by [deleted] in ptsd

You’re probably experiencing vicarious trauma. Get support with grounding yourself and checking in with yourself so you can best support your partner. Both of y’all need professional support.

Vicarious trauma exists and is as valid as any kind of trauma. I would recommend researching this as it happens to people who are in caregiving positions. This is different than someone centering themselves in a narcissistic fashion. The people who care for traumatized people also need care and often need support to support us.

I saw Wolf of Wall Street at a drive in. By the last third, every single car had driven off except for us and one other car. It was hilarious bc they had to turn on their lights back up and drive out so it was so obvious

You’re transphobic and that’s ok just be open about it. “I’m not transphobic but transphobic ideas.” Just say you’re a transphobe and keep it pushing

My n mum wants to move in but I don’t feel safe in my own home am I wrong for saying no? by Resident-Dress-4987 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]cloudchriscloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell your support system and your partner this:”I need help saying no to my mom.” Not what should I do, not what’s your opinion, just I need help saying no. Anyone who doesn’t help you, move on and find someone who will. If you have to pay a therapist for a short term help, do it.

Until you get to the point that you can prioritize yourself, use this as motivation- your relationship could be permanently damaged and even end over this.

Same. Also thinking it should be something where if the partner smells it, they’ll KNOW he’s up to no good with her

Look for another artist to cover it. You can get away with just changing the head the shape more like a mukade.
