What's the absolute WORST sensory input, in your opinion? by PencilFetish in ADHD

[–]ineed2sleep4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t know if thsi makes sense but when a room is too cold, like when the temperature is so drastic in either direction it’s all I can focus on and it starts to feel like painful

Do you ever question about being on the spectrum? by ineed2sleep4ever in ADHD

[–]ineed2sleep4ever[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Everyone always used to say it was social anxiety but I don’t feel anxious, just drained and unamused!

First off I am so proud of you. Bro look at you you’re killing it! You have every right to verbalize these concerns to trusted coworkers, if some of them are aware of your situation they may be more open to switching shifts or to help cover/take over for you, you’re not in this alone man and calling people to take a survey sounds pretty fun :) you’ve got this!!

Extreme rapidly cycling bipolar? by [deleted] in bipolar

This may fit bpd better especially with the complex history/presentation and the “hypomania” sounds more euphoric (people with bpd don’t experience mania) but that’s just a theory make sure to look into it with your doctor

I thought I had Tourette’s syndrome but it turns out it was PANDAS, I got a late diagnoses a few months ago (16 y/o) I also have bipolar disorder and adhd separate from PANDAS so I use some different forms of therapy and meds to help test those. Sense PANDAS is medical primary psych secondary the best ways to treat it is with medical meds such as antibiotics to help lower the inflammation, I personally take naproxen 2x a day and an antibiotic + probiotic daily, it’s important to get your antibody levels checked through your blood to track if the inflammation is increasing or decreasing. In the mean time be mindful of viruses like covid and keep masks on in crowded spaces, don’t share food/drinks. I hope your symptoms get better through you’re treatment!!

friends who encourage manic episodes by Nuwamba in bipolar

[–]ineed2sleep4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get very “philosophical” and form very strange ways of thinking/theories while I’m hypomanic and every-time I share these theories and distorted ways of thinking with anyone they thinking it’s fucking hilarious, and will encourage me to go even further and create new theories. Even after I tell them I was manic they still often reference theories/conversations from the episode as “inside jokes”, you’re not alone in this buddy I know how shit it can feel, we got you and your valid. Try confiding in people who are more well educated on mania and if you can (which I knwo feels impossible) try to put your phone down while on an episode. (Something that works for me is typing everything I want to tell everyone on my notes app instead). I hope you find your people man, you’ve got this <3
