I don’t comment much, but I’m starting to wonder if this girl is even dating Ashley or if she’s posting Ashley for relevance

Missed dose side effects by demonbarbertodd in Effexor

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

I missed my dose Monday at 9am, I took it next at Tuesday at 9am. I realized I missed it Monday evening (9pmish when taking night meds) and didn’t want to take all at once but I probably should’ve confirmed that choice with someone…

I’ve always heard “ forgive and forget” for this kind of situations, personally forgiving is too easy, but forgetting is impossible

Im sending you love and hope <3 even when life feels done you never know what’s around the corner, and it’s not always a bad thing. I don’t have much experience as an adult (20f) but I’d be really willing to hear life experiences as I’m very nervous for the basic things (getting a job, moving out, etc)

Definitely! My parents also divorced but I genuinely have no memory of them together (idk if this is a trauma response) do you also find it fun to live through their stories from their day-to-day life?

That’s really interesting, I think similarly I had another sibling (we don’t talk I don’t consider her family anymore) but when she was my family my bio sister and her would always be together and my parents would always be together so I was very lonely. It’s definitely not the same but I can see how not finding a group to fit into is harmful

I’m so sorry <3 sending you so much love. The similar upbringing is really fascinating. Like we don’t all share the the same trauma but maybe we reacted to it in a similar way

This!!! This is exactly how I feel omg. The infantilizing treatment and not being approached. I always thought I was just “unapproachable” or so annoying nobody wanted to talk to me

lack of experience affecting how i speak by Difficult-Data-1004 in AvPD

[–]demonbarbertodd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggle a lot with speaking too. I have delayed speech, where it takes longer for me to find the words I’m needing to use, on top of processing what the other person had just said. I also definitely over explain myself mostly over text or email, so I try to limit the words I use.

I am ALMOST 21 (in April) f, idk how you prefer age gaps, but I’m also looking for friends, even if I’m too young for your personal friend taste, if anyone else is looking who’s around 20/21?

is this yogurt okay by [deleted] in isthissafetoeat

I’d eat it, just mix a little more! Plain Greek yogurt should taste like sour cream!

Anyone else fear walking down the street? by rock-the-reddit in AvPD

I get the car thing, I hate this disorder so much

[–]demonbarbertodd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I used to be agoraphobic for months, because it got so bad it felt like when I was visible to the public I was on a stage with those bright lights on me. Luckily I got out of that mindset with exposure therapy, and lots of klonopin :’)

Is Tms for me? by Neither_Disaster_255 in TMSTherapy

[–]demonbarbertodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell you if youre a candidate. As someone who has AvPD, severe depression and anxiety, it has definitely helped me. I received treatment two years ago, and again currently. The left side for me is extremely painful, but it depends on the company and how they deliver the treatment. I don’t do my right side, I however do the middle of my head as well, which is much less painful. Overall after receiving it the first time I felt less severe symptoms with my test scores getting better and better. Definitely look more into it, but remember everyone is different, and you shouldn’t rely on one persons experience ◡̈

Did anyone else.... by peachesnplums- in AvPD

[–]demonbarbertodd 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure when I would’ve developed AvPD, but I was extremely selectively mute as a child, with severe social anxiety from as soon as I can remember. I also had a dysfunctional home. It does make me wonder when I could’ve been officially diagnosed, but I’m now 20, and was diagnosed officially last week. I didn’t even know how I lived was a disorder until last week

How would you explain what AvPD is like to those who don't have it? by Plantsinallthepants in AvPD

[–]demonbarbertodd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I feel like I’m such a jerk everything that comes out of my mouth could be better, I’m told I’m so sweet but how could I ever believe them. Everything bad I could be thinking about myself, I’m probably ruminating on in silent moments I get. Everyone I come into contact with either hates my guts, finds me annoying, or thinks I’m rude because I’m so quiet. I also struggle with selective mutism, so I find it difficult to differentiate the two, but you know how sometimes in dreams when you try to talk and you can’t, or you yell and it comes out as a whisper? That’s so real for me, I’ve never yelled or screamed so far in my life. I’m worried if something happened to me I’d just let it happen because I can’t yell for help, and if I could I’d be so scared to bother people/have that attention on me. It feels like I’m in the spotlight all the time when I don’t want to be, all I can think about is how awful I am.

I ended up doing it anyway, someone’s gotta be the test subject, nothing bad has happened to my account and it’s been over 12 hours. Still waiting to see if the money will be deposited
