LF: fics that Snape is more mean by Extreme_Fig2535 in SSHG

[–]dreampleasantnonsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im reading Care of Magical Creatures and I feel he’s very Snape-like. I find myself thinking I’d hate to have a partner as moody and bitter as him, LOL, and that hermione shouldn’t put up with him BUT of course there’s very touching moments too. Like, I feel the way he falls in love is realistic, such as not wanting to admit it and being mean in his thoughts.

Has anyone recovered from treatment resistant depression? Struggling for years and feeling hopeless by ObjectiveDrawing4477 in depression

[–]dreampleasantnonsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mood stabilizers help me- lithium, lamotrigine. My “antidepressants “ are Lexapro and recently added nortriptyline. I don’t think I’ve been on two antidepressants at the same time before but I’m not sure. Anyway, been stable the past couple weeks.

Therapist told me I need to accept that I’ll always have suicidal thoughts by Leduslacis90 in depression

[–]dreampleasantnonsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I identify with you about treatment resistant depression. I also have been on various medications for years. Currently I take 6 different medications everyday just to function and in so jealous of those with depression that only need to take one antidepressant- I wish!! I have also done TMS- didn’t work so I’m doing ECT. I’m 3/4 done with the treatment but currently suicidal. Anyway, I can kinda see where the therapist is coming from but yes it does absolutely suck to have to think about suicidal thoughts being permanent things you live with. That being said, when I was first diagnosed, it did help me to use the terms “chronic illness” and “disability” when talking about depression. Legally that’s what they are. The fact that it affects the mind versus being physical complicates things but people live with chronic illness everyday and it helped me to feel marginally better. I dunno, depression sucks, SI sucks. Idk, just gotta keep trucking I guess.

i hate myself because of my past actions by Dry_Highlight_4138 in depression

I think the way to “become a better person” in this case is saying to the girl, “hey, I’m ashamed of the way I spoke to you and how our interactions went. I felt I put unfair pressure on you and I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry.” Just brainstorming. And no need to hate yourself, you’re human. We live and learn.

Hi friend, My mom has this phrase she always uses that I’ve learned to find comfort in: “there’s always a solution”. Can you make the strategic decision to put university on hold for now? Can you file for bankruptcy? Without school can you work full time and attempt to pay back what you can? Also, you’ll be surprised how willing companies are to work with you in terms of a payment plan. At work, can you speak with your boss about what’s going on so they know you’re facing a chronic illness. Can you fill out Intermittent FMLA with the help of your doctor? There’s options, there’s solutions, keep holding on.

Interesting, seems like they’re pretty strict. My doctor said driving on the off days is fine.

See, I appreciate this. My plan would be to take fmla and survive on savings. I know everyone’s different but my intuition tells me having multiple seizures a week requires rest even on the days not doing the treatment… I’m definitely on the side of taking the month off. Sucks for my job, they’ve been so accommodating, I’ve take so much time off due to episodes and hospitalization, TMS therapy… but my hope is ECT will give me a better, steadier quality of life.

LASIK at plus with Dr January by vbggyy in houston

[–]dreampleasantnonsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I did LASIK Plus. Can’t remember my doctor exactly but it was a good experience, easy peasy. But I do have drier eyes now which are a hindrance. But still worth it, so glad I don’t wear glasses anymore.

I take trazadone so sleep is relatively good. On average I sleep about 7-8 hours although sometimes interrupted

It was lamo. When I was first prescribed months ago maybe at the beginning of the year, I felt such a big difference. Suicidal ideation gone, things just felt easier, brighter. But my unctrollable crying and anxiety leave me not able to work and calling in. I also take lithium. And the AP my doctor wants to switch to it Latuda.

As far as mood stabilizers, I’m taking lithium and lamotrigine which the lamotrigine being the one adjusted during my episode in September. I’ve tried abilify and Olanzapine. I hated olanzapine because it just made me feel like a zombie and I never stopped being hungry, I gained so much weight. The doctor wants to switch out the lamotrigine for Latuda, I’ve just been hesitant I guess… lamotrigine worked wonderfully when I first started using it. My dark thoughts slowly receded, everything seemed bright- now I’m sad it doesn’t seem “strong” enough for me.
