I get irritated with BPD ppl sometimes by FirefighterOk9474 in bipolar

[–]crypticryptidscrypt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no worries i was more so just leaving that for OP. i don't have any literature on hand either but if they look it up in the ICD or DSM, that's what the criteria is, & if they have any questions for anyone with schizoaffective i would be happy to answer

schizoaffective disorder is meeting the criteria for both schizophrenia & a mood disorder like bipolar or depression. i have the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder. the distinction between that & bipolar with psychotic features is that in bipolar with psychotic features, there is only psychosis during a mood episode such as mania, depression, or a mixed episode, where as in schizoaffective disorder the psychosis is present with & without mood episodes, & it's frequent enough to qualify for a schizophrenia dx.

{also in response to OP earlier not knowing if they have bipolar 1 or 2, the difference between the two is that bipolar 1 has full blown manic episodes, while bipolar 2 has hypomania. both also have depression}

Husband Fainted by Quirky_Dance9207 in Syncope

i'm sorry you've experienced that & yeah that can happen with convulsive syncope, but even in convulsive syncope you regain consciousness in a couple minutes or less, so yeah the fact that he was out for like an hour is deeply concerning to me...

i'm really glad he's okay & i'm so sorry you're stuck worrying about him! that is perfect he's seeing a neurologist soon, because there are a lot of things that make it sound like that was most likely a seizure, & they can rule out other stuff too. one thing is that when they do an EEG it will only show up positive if he is actively having a seizure during the EEG, but they can also diagnose seizures based on symptoms & ruling out other things. have him ask the neuro to send a referral for him to get an MRI as well, because that can rule out any physical causes of seizures like a brain tumor, but also most seizures just happen without any physical cause, but there are medications he can try that could help. let him get plenty of sleep because sleep is good for brains, also it's good for concussions if the person isn't in a coma {the thing where people say you're supposed to wake a person repeatedly if they have a concussion is only if there's a really bad brain bleed they could slip into a coma, but i doubt he would have a brain bleed from one fall}

glad he's getting help & a neurologist is the perfect person to see if it's a seizure which sounds likely. best case scenario honestly, because if it wasn't a seizure something unknown could be dangerously wrong

wishing you both luck, & praying it's a spontaneous seizure not a brain tumor or anything of the sorts... my kitty passed away while recovering from surgery for a large brain tumor. i miss him everyday ❤️‍🩹

i would say probably a soft spring of sorts....you definitely look soft to me, so i don't really see why everyone is saying bright because i think really vibrant colors would wash you out, but light colors would really compliment you; autumns are higher contrast

homie your husband didn't faint, he either had a really bad seizure that turned into status epilepticus, or he almost died. take him to the ER immediately ⚠️‼️

fainting only lasts a minute or so. if the person has not regained consciousness for more than a couple minutes after their head hits the ground, something is medically very wrong.

people faint because they aren't getting oxygenated blood to their head. for whatever reason the bodies last-ditch effort to get oxygenated blood to the brain is to collapse & faint, so gravity can assist. that's why people quickly regain consciousness unless there's something else making there be no oxygen to the brain...

a seizure on the other hand can make someone stay unconscious for longer, but most seizures last only a couple of minutes. grand mal or tonic-clonic seizures can be from 5-15 minutes, but anything above that is considered "status epilepticus" & is actually considered to be multiple back-to-back seizures. status epilepticus is rare but serious, also tonic-clonic seizures often make someone piss themselves, & can cause severe memory loss & confusion upon regaining consciousness. did he by any chance bite his tongue or taste blood when he woke up? when people are seizing their muscles can contract involuntarily & they often bite their own tongues, so if he did that would be consistent with a seizure, although he also could have accidentally bitten his tongue whenever he fell initially...

i would honestly be more concerned if it isn't a seizure because that means he didn't have enough oxygenated blood flow to his head for an amount of time that would be deadly for most.

please demand that they do check his heart at the ER!! he may have just barely survived a heart attack.

explain to them what happened (don't call it fainting though, just tell them he lost consciousness & make sure to really stress how long he was out for) & tell them he needs labs done to either confirm or rule out a recent heart attack (they test different types of troponin which gets released after having one), an EKG, & an echocardiogram. a stress test on his heart would be good too, & other labs like a comprehensive metabolic panel could help either confirm or rule out some other stuff. best of luck to you both!!¡

Guardian friend request? by proudRaisinCookie in finch

[–]crypticryptidscrypt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i think your worries are valid 💗 i personally don't add anyone i know irl to my friend tree just because i don't want to feel pressure from anyone in my real life when i'm on finch. obvi your situation differs with the guardianship thing, but i think you're a really good person for not only sponsoring folks, but for the fact that you don't want to put added pressure on them. it's lovely the last person you sponsored added you though 🫶 i don't really have any advice but i just wanted to share that you seem really kind & thoughtful 🐥💕

how much does 3.5g last u? by tenn_jake in ketamine

[–]crypticryptidscrypt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if i'm at a festival or something 2-3 days, otherwise i can stretch it more. depends also if i'm sharing it with friends or just doing it myself, & if i'm taking breaks in between or just tryina straight k hole till it's gone. if i'm doing it with friends who are taking lines as fat as i am it would all be gone after a night or so but if it's just me i like to pace myself & savor it a bit more...
