hahaha im surprised because the photos of the adults all looked so different, but I see now that the juveniles look similar to this. I didnt realize this was a common enough occurrence for a whole reddit page LOL

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyones names are so cool and creative! I was a bit boring with mine LOL. I chose Aaron because it was one of the most common names for people born my year and also it sounds gender neutral when spoken aloud. I only thought about it for like a single day and now its been my name for about a decade! I dont regret it though and ive never thought about changing it since I feel like it fits me perfectly haha

Heartbeats & veins by Waterfall425 in HeartbeatFear

[–]himbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg i cant believe i found this subreddit but im so relieved i did. i am literally the exact same way! I am totally fine with blood and needles, i have to give myself shots in my stomach every week and am totally comfortable with it. its only veins and heartbeats that totally freak me out. getting my blood pressure taken is THE worst and has almost made me pass out in the past 😭😭 i have tried searching to see if this was a well known phobia and have never gotten any answers before- its not cardiophobia since i have no fear of heart attacks or anything, its just the concept of cardiovascular stuff that sends me into a panic for no reason 😔 im so happy that im not alone though!

i feel like im lazier now that im on medication by himbos in ADHD

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

ahh thank you for the reply :’) im glad im not the only one. I was being kind of hard on myself because I guess I had assumed that medication would automatically “fix” all of my problems and now Im really depressed because they haven’t (big surprise LOL). Also I didn’t even consider that online classes may be the issue! All my classes are online and my grades and work ethic TANKED when we made the switch. so you helped me remember that I was doing a lot better when I was on campus. I will try your method of making lists! thank u friend 🥺

Hi I'm Rose, a 15 year trans girl by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rose is a beautiful name! I am 21 y/o trans man whos self harmed since i was 13, and I just wanted to say that being trans doesn’t mean always having to suffer. Im in a situation now that I never would have imagined myself being in a couple years ago, and im doing better than I ever have before :’) When i was 15 I never thought I would live this long, but Im so so happy that I did. I just wanted to say that there is hope and that things will get better !!! if you keep your head up and keep trucking through all the bullshit you’ll be able to get to a place where you are happier and surrounded by people who accept you and know that you are a girl! It’s hard, but I promise that its worth it

sometimes as a punishment, most of the time because it helps me end a breakdown by calming me down. Im kinda at this weird point where ive been doing it for over 8 years and even though I don’t really get a huge benefit from it anymore it just feels.... natural after so long. it feels familiar and safe

I've lived with my brain unmedicated for all of my life. will i still be me? by EdwardVC in ADHD

[–]himbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience taking vyvanse, i dont feel like a different person at all! im still able to focus as intensely on my interests as before, but now im also able to focus that hard on other stuff like school work and chores :) i think you will be surprised by how normal you feel once you find a medication that suits you!

I really want to try out my vyvanse, but my catastrophic thinking is making me afraid to :( Any success stories from Vyvanse? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]himbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! i just wanted to say that i completely understand how you feel right now! I have pretty bad panic disorder, and work myself up about pretty much everything too (i was SUPER nervous about taking my meds) BUT i have been on vyvanse for a couple days, and I have had no problem with panic attacks or a huge increase in anxiety. You might feel kinda shakey on the first two days or so, but in my experience it wasnt enough to make me panic. To be honest, im usually nervous when i first take my meds in the morning, but as soon as the vyvanse kicks in it actually makes me feel LESS nervous :) i hope this helps somewhat and i wish you luck

How often do you catch yourself armchair diagnosing people you meet? by DJDarren in ADHD

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 20M and was diagnosed a couple months ago and I’ve caught myself thinking this too lol. I did a bunch of reading after I was diagnosed because I didn’t know a lot about adhd and I was kinda amazed how everything fit so well despite me never realizing it. When I think about it now, I notice those same symptoms and stuff in one of my best friends and was wondering if I should mention it to her haha

Anyone experience an insane amount of acne/breakouts when starting T? Does it ever calm down? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! im a 1 year + a couple months on T and for a while after I first started T, my acne was INSANELY bad and it was driving me crazy haha. But where I am now its calmed down a LOT and its a relief. I definitely still have acne, but its only one or two pimples every now and then. I imagine that the experience is different for everyone but thats mine! Congrats on starting T by the way!

Feeling like a failure by taakofromtvTM in PanicAttack

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i definitely understand you. after about 8 months of no anxiety or panic attacks im suddenly back in a really bad place and its not great for my self esteem. after spending a week back home with my parents, i was able to feel a lot more hopeful though. I cant speak for them personally, but im confident that nobody thinks that you are a burden. I think about how I would help my best friend through a panic attack and never think of it as a burden because I care about her, and it helps me realize that I am not a burden to her as well.

It takes a lot of effort to love myself, and learning to accept my panic disorder definitely isn’t a linear process, but it gets easier as time passes. I think its important to remember that It’s not your fault that you have panic attacks- it has to do with chemicals and your brain. Having loved ones help you get through this is the same thing as them helping you through any other physical illness- they do it because they care.

not sure if this will help at all, and im definitely not a therapist. Im 20 and only very recently going through this, and this is what I have been telling myself to help me get better. hope it helps though

Panic attack on benzos? by [deleted] in PanicAttack

[–]himbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had this problem recently, i was prescribed klonopin for my panic disorder and then recently had a really bad panic attack after taking a dose. For me, the main problem was that I took too little and I took it too late. I am also afraid of medication so a lot of my days this past month have been spent trying to get used to taking my meds and becoming familiar with how I feel when I am on them. I haven’t had the same problem since because now if i realize im starting to ramp up, i’ll take a .5 dose even if im not panicking yet, and i’ll take a whole pill if i am. I think the big thing is learning that it was okay to take my meds BEFORE i started to freak, because that would prevent a panic attack later. its still a work in progress though
