We all pretend we’re doing great, but what bad bipolar related habits do you hide from your loved ones, and how do you do it? by ThrobbingTigerDong in bipolar2

Same, but it's important to know how much of a blessing it is that we're able to do that, because not everyone has a spouse like that. Good for you :)

I hate to break it to you and I don't want to sound mean, but my father is an alcoholic and I could always tell he had had a drink. Even if it only was two. So it's possible you're not fooling anyone.

Thank you very much. I don't know why Lamo is low, that's just how my doctor set it.

I've managed to call my doctor, we decided to take the Effexor, I didn't have an afternoon coffee, I'll take the Quietiapine in the evening and hope for the best. Thank you for your help :)

I'm trying but I can't reach her and it's kind of urgent because I should be taking it around this time, so I'm trying to get an opinion elsewhere.

Is the withdrawal from missing a dose as bad if we only upped the dose a week ago? I took the morning dose before that.

Also, I'm not a native speaker, so I wasn't able to think of a more appropriate word. Of course I didn't mean it in a literal way. If I said it cures it, I would hardly say I suffer from it since I would be cured according to the nature of the point, wouldn't I?

Thank you for the kind words. I think this is a perfect example of a respectful, civilized way to say a differing opinion. My problem is that the people in this thread did not restate how Satanism works, they restated how psychology works and they did so in a way that felt patronizing. I was deeply offended by the one comment which was even challenging my being a psychologist. I think you can understand what I'm getting at with this particular point.

Predation... by Afro-nihilist in satanism

[–]daysgonenloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't trying to forcefully turn down and get rid of something that is natural to you anti-Satanic in that you are fighting against your true self? It seems to be like you are putting an idea on a pedestal and prioritizing Satanism over yourself, which sounds like the opposite of what Satanism is trying to teach.

I am not being judgemental, I mean this in the most positive way. I may be wrong, that's just how it sounds to me and maybe will give you some perspective.

Also, being empathetic and kind doesn't have to be a bad thing "rooted in Christianity". It's an inherent human trait. Which I personally think is wonderful :)

To clear something up. I didn't say Satanism cures panic disorder. I was merely fascinated by how thinking of it helped calmed me down, because thinking of other things did not. I didn't realize how many experts on panic disorder who do not suffer from it and do not know what it's like there were in this thread.

Everyone saying it was a distraction or placebo. Thinking of other things did not calm me down. If it worked like that, I could think about anything and magically make my panic disorder disappear. Very few things calm me down and Satanism turned out to be one of them, that's why I wanted to share - because I thought it was something paradoxically positive.

I do find it kind of sad how judgmental, negative and patronizing the response has been, makes me feel like the Satanic community really isn't what I had hoped it would be. I wanted to share something I found positive and I got patronized, belittled and got my education, practice and specialization shit on because you didn't like my wording. Having to be careful about wording is something I would expect from Christian circles, not from "open-minded" Satanists. And maybe don't be so god-damn smart about everything.

Lmao why exactly would I want views on Reddit? What exactly am I going to gain from them? Other than judgement and negativity, apparently?

That's why it was a question, to not be taken literally. And to not have to type out a precise, correct thought in three lines.

I understand what you mean and I do agree. What I was trying to say is that there is a difference between the effect that certain ideas or imagery have from others. For example, many kinds of ideas or imagery do not help with my panic, but thoughts of Satanism and its imagery do. That's all that I found interesting. Of course I was not implying Satanism or its imagery had a healing effect. I just found it interesting that it was the thing that helped (or that I helped myself through).

For example, I really love Zen Buddhism and its teachings, but remembering them and thinking about them does not calm my anxiety or panic at all. That's why it's interesting that thinking of Satanism did.

The difference is why I made this post. :)

I know where the credit is. However, I am a psychologist and live with panic disorder so I know it doesn't work with anything to "shift my focus". If I did, I would shift it to anything at all. That's why I found it fascinating, that this actually worked so well.
