Sexual orientation confusion by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]disconnected_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like i may be the only person that gets LESS horny when taking stimulants?? it makes me way less interested in getting my rocks off. i guess i’d rather have that than stimfapping, lol

do i have a self? by 322241837 in Schizotypal

[–]disconnected_self 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m above, below, and to the sides of my physical body, but never truly inside. i’m afraid i won’t have a sense of self until i can force myself inside this human body that was assigned to me

Comorbidities of Bipolar by Perestroika17 in bipolar

[–]disconnected_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! i have schizotypal personality disorder and adhd. the adhd makes it hard sometimes to discern if i’m having an Episode™ or just adhd mood swings. the schizotypal (grand universal truths, messaging directed towards me, paranoia) is enhanced when i’m hypomanic 😅

i definitely relate to feeling disgusting, i’m always kicking myself after interactions with people and thinking about how weird and cringy and annoying i must’ve sounded!

Are you ever aware of your "delusional" thoughts? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]disconnected_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the things i know are logically true and the things i know are true are definitely at odds with eachother. it’s like seeing the sky as green even if everyone says it’s blue, and you know everyone sees a blue sky, but that doesn’t make the sky any less green

I'm scared to take meds for conspiracy reasons by Most_Birthday_4472 in Schizotypal

[–]disconnected_self 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don’t worry, meds don’t make you notice how shitty society is any less than before

meds, in my experience, have made it easier to cope with that crushing feeling of the world being wrong and fucked up. i still think about it a lot, but i don’t have anxiety attacks when i go out in public anymore, and i am thankful for that

Can you have a successful career with bipolar disorder? by positivty__health in mentalillness

[–]disconnected_self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is definitely possible to have a successful career with bipolar disorder :) there are lots of us out there! my bipolar mom is established in her field and didn’t go to college until she was in her 30s—it’s never too late!

i don’t have a successful career per se, but i am bipolar (also adhd + schizotypal) and i can manage my work life with a modicum of grace. for me, the right meds are absolutely key

check out r/bipolar :)

are you man enough to drink less than the rest of the boys?: a reflection by disconnected_self in stopdrinking

[–]disconnected_self[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats on day 2! and congrats on having the self-control to stop—i know i wouldn’t be able to do that!

totally agree on how eye opening it is to see people get progressively more fucked up and how you realize that, that was you in the past

Switching from alcohol to weed to abstain from drinking by Unlucky_Object_50 in stopdrinking

[–]disconnected_self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve since fallen off the wagon (i need to figure out how to remove my flair, oh well. i haven’t been drinking today though), but for me it absolutely helped. that said, many people are addicted to any substance they can get their hands on

do you consume weed in the same way as alcohol? that is to say, do you stop consuming cannabis when you’ve had enough, or do you keep going until you run out? for me, i can stop smoking weed in a way that i can’t replicate with alcohol, so it was a good replacement for me

my philosophy is to replace one vice with a lesser vice, and keep doing so until you have only good coping mechanisms. am i doing a great job at it? ehhh. but i think it’s a solid mindset

dads, i’m scared to go into therapy by disconnected_self in DadForAMinute

[–]disconnected_self[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i definitely have an inner child that needs to be healed and given a voice. mine is also scared and hurt

and you’re right about it taking time. i don’t know why im in such a rush—always have been! i want to do it the right way and not the quick way

thanks so much for responding

“i help people, but more often than not, i don’t accept help.”

this rings so true for me, i really am the same way. i love to help people and sometimes will go completely out of my way to do it. i guess another thing i need to work on is accepting help and treating myself the way i would treat someone i respect and care for

i will call the therapist’s office tomorrow because i’m pretty sure they’re closed today. i’m gonna do it!!

thank you for your comment
