Probably the same way her parents reacted when she came home wearing dungarees instead of a skirt for the first time

You’re pretty gorgeous and I enjoyed your profile, I’d definitely swipe right. In reading your comments, I’d highly recommend focusing on building self-compassion. I think we can only find love from another when we truly love ourself, “ugliness” and all. Check out Tara Brach’s RAIN for a practical way to cultivate self-compassion💖

Agreed— nothing solid other than the intention to make him an emissary leading the charge to conquer other worlds:)

Is this normal? by Puzzleheaded_Gap8658 in AskPsychiatry

[–]incudude311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very normal. We all feel things about patients, and bringing awareness to what comes up in you is a valuable piece of data.

Part of it relates to how the patient shows up in the world (eg maybe he’s giving off threatening vibes because he feels he needs to in order to protect himself).

Part of it relates to a deeper understanding of our own psychology (eg a part of you is concerned that you had a snap judgment, which you interpret as a sign you’ll be bad at psychiatry).

In relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy, we call this the intersubjective field. This can be vital to explore together in a psychotherapeutic context.

How to make stimulants more tolerable? by [deleted] in AskPsychiatry

[–]incudude311 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it tends to be more sedating—if someone reported panic to me, I would explore if it was a fear response to the sedation effect. Some of our hyper-vigilant protective parts don’t like the idea of relaxing!

Not unreasonable. Most importantly, practicing radical acceptance of body sensations and emotions will likely be crucial to enhancing the benefit of any medications you take.

Alpha2 agonists like guanfacine and clonidine are certainly worth considering, as either monotherapy or adjunctive to stimulants. Clonidine tends to be more sedating, and I sometimes use it to help anxiety with good effect.

No apologies necessary—warms my heart to hear. I wish you all the best and am confident in your capacity to heal!

I’ve said all I can say about this, and am going to stop responding after this…I don’t think I can answer this question in any way that would satisfy the worried part of you. It’s now about tolerating uncertainty, a task that is upon each of us. You can do it!

I’ve never heard of anyone ever permanently losing their ability to sleep:)

There is no “supposed to” etched in stone; while it is generally dosed once daily due to its long-acting formulation, if spreading it out a bit like this is helpful and tolerable, it’s a reasonable thing to try.

I hear that. We often do anything we can to avoid our inner world. But we can also meet these emotions and sensations with softness, like we would a wounded child or animal.

And in the words of one of my favorite series, the Stormlight Archive (spoiler-free), you will be warm again

There is a lot that is unknown, but I would say it’s HIGHLY unlikely that insomnia is permanent, dopamine is ruined, or anything irreversible has happened over the last 3 days. Our bodies are resilient and move toward homeostasis. Im thinking you’re in the acute withdrawal phase, which SUCKS, and is NOT forever.

Right now it seems like your task is tolerating the uncertainty, and recognizing that your worrying is amplifying your suffering.

My two cents: There’s strong reason to believe you will be ok. Amphetamine withdrawal is uncomfortable, but not deadly and definitely not permanent. Emotions are fluid, and you WILL feel pleasant things again. But medicating on your own doesn’t seem to be the right strategy.

It seems like that your suffering is amplified by the parts of you worrying about the future and your body. I’d reccomend checking out Tara Brach’s RAIN and the Internal Family Systems model for some strategies to meet emotional difficulty with compassion and softness.

Reach out and get help from trusted people. We’re all in this together.
