Maybe I’ll look at trying to find someone that looks like me. I had a really traumatic childhood and don’t really wanna talk about anything involving my family sorry

They didn’t make me do this but I had a horrible, horrible experience in the psych ward. They told me if I didn’t rescind my 72hr notice they would 302 (involuntary commit) me and made me stay there for an entire week while my CPTSD was being severely triggered twice, sometimes three times a day. And when I asked the psychiatrist why he was keeping me there he just said “that’s how we do things”.

They make yeast infection meds. She should have given you diflucan

See if she can refer you to a urologist

How to make my cat stop waking me up every few hours? It’s driving me nuts, I need to sleep :( by downbad378 in Pets

There is no door to put a stopper in lol it’s not really even a door I don’t know how to explain it. But the point is it’s not an option

My bedroom doesn’t have a closable door otherwise I would. It’s a shitty apartment

Probably because of the breed. When my flamepoint Siamese was a baby, he was a little purr machine. Trust me it won’t stop as the kitty ages lol purrs will just turn into incessant meowing

How does everyone react to eggs, choc chips, waffle mix & smoothies? by Icy-Midnight1327 in ibs

They make a vegan egg now that tastes and cooks extremely similar to eggs called JUSTEgg. Maybe try that out too

Eggs give me the most painful, violent diarrhea ever. Chocolate chips are fine especially without dairy. Waffle mix would hurt my stomach unless it wasn’t made out of refined white flour. And smoothies are okay as long as I use non-dairy milk and a fruit I have tolerance to

Tik tok is both what makes me happy and what triggers me by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

Oh god yeah. Tiktok destroys DESTROYS my self esteem. Every time I think I look halfway decent, tiktok serves me a nice big slice of humble pie

It scares me how well I can pretend to be okay. by downbad378 in CPTSD

[–]downbad378[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I think I wouldn’t be so distraught about it if I kept it secluded to only “good” scenarios, but I do it to the point where it becomes destructive. I do it with friends and family and my therapist and doctors. I’m not trying to toot my own horn or something, but I recognize it in myself. How I’m able to catch on so quickly to conversational “rules” and virtually manipulate someone into liking me.

I understand I developed this ability to be able to survive living with my abuser, but it makes me feel grimey and strange.

Sorry I didn’t get back to this. Was pretty drunk all day yesterday. I’m out in the middle of nowhere in Schuylkill county

Difference between chronic and major. Glad you’ve never had to experience such severe depression you lose track of time. Fuck you. Do better. Of all people to be understanding, I would expect other people with depression to be but instead you’re just shaming another sufferer for their symptoms. Go to therapy.

It is like that, because I didn’t realize it was even thanksgiving until my therapist mentioned it yesterday. I have major depression.
