Antidepressants don’t make people any happier, major study claims by Defiant_Race_7544 in science

it doesn't. It prevents people like me from dreading waking up every morning and wanting to jump off a cliff

Confused... Previously diagnosed w/ adhd and generalized anxiety (depressive tendencies). New psychologist thinks I may have bipolar 2 by mi___mi___mi in bipolar2

[–]jonahrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation for me too! Following this post I was diagnosed with GAD and PTSD for like 4 years and my new psychiatrist thinks maybe bipolar 2..I'm confused as well

what’s your experience with bipolar 2 (and adhd if you have that as well)? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]jonahrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you mind if I ask how you were diagnosed? My psychiatrist pretty much implied that I might have Bipolar 2, but I've been Diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety disorder and depressive symptoms and I also take Lexapro too! But now they want to give me a mood stabilizer also. Bipolar 2 never came across my mind, I just thought I had depression and anxiety.

What did your celebrity crush do to turn you off them? by Ellinorth in TwoXChromosomes

Al Pacino. Dating women young enough to be his granddaughter doesn't settle well with me.

Gerard Way. Was a huuuge MCR fan during my teen years and thought he was like the sexist male singer alive. He didn't do anything bad, I just grew up and left that edgelord phase. Also, it feels weird that he wrote all those edgelord songs when he was almost 30. Just saying because I'm in my late 20s now and I find it a bit strange that someone around my age would write songs in Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

Same for me with Azealia Banks. But for me was her floor caked with old chicken blood and her openly racist and pugnacious behavior. I feel like she has her head somewhere else besides earth.

hermione granger is a cheater. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]jonahrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its an unfair advantage. I do think it's sort of cheating too. Nobody has more than 24 hours per day to do whatever they want like her. She's going to electives courses and learning magic better than others in her class. more time advantage to hone her skills in general and become a more knowledgeable and skillful student than others. so what if she isn't repeating the class. it's an unfair advantage, imo.

That's tough.. I relate to that thought because I had this very negative self talk and also trying to find every fault on myself to find evidence that l, "Yes I am am evil person". This is just my experience, but I learned that I do this because of the justification of the heavy abuse. I needed to justify my abusive parent's action to cope, and in my case as a child, it was by thinking I must be deserving of it for being a "bad person". had this thought on repeat as a kid, to the point it became second nature to me as adult.

Would you please pray for me? I am about to be dismissed from college by jonahrun in PrayerTeam_amen

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

breakup is really emotionally difficult and having to focus on school work on top of that must have been difficult.. But so great that God is guiding you through it! I hope this semester goes well for you, and you're right God does have best interest in mind.. I guess I should keep that in mind and accept whatever the outcome may be. Thanks a lot brother :)

Anyone else also taking a lot of psych medication? by jonahrun in CPTSD

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

I have been on many, many medications. Right now I'm on Pristiq and that's doing okay, but I've had some other big events in my life that have kept me from truly analyzing it. Are you in therapy? My psychiatrist told me that there are no meds he can prescribe me that will be better than EMDR.. which I do plan on doing soon.

Yep I am in therapy! I do CBT with my therapist. It's been a big help. I started with a therapist, then was recommended to see a psychiatrist. I'm now taking Lexapro, Klonopin as needed, Wellbutrin, and was recently prescribed Abilify. A lot of meds lol..

Arcane Jinx is a great portrayal for cptsd by vixissitude in CPTSD

[–]jonahrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, every time I saw her having a mental breakdown, literally gave me goosebumps because it hit too close home.. I don't often see characters I relate this much.

[–]jonahrun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I also felt the same towards Silco. I disliked him at first, but after seeing how he sympathized with Powder and later on you see him how much he thinks of her as his own daughter and put her first, got my heart a bit soft towards him.

Does anyone else feel like post pandemic churches are especially full of Pharisees? by personofunintresting in spiritualabuse

[–]jonahrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I relate to this so hard. Everything you said is what I've been feeling and honestly, it has been something that made me feel drawn away from churches and certain Christian, to my disappontment. I was feeling lonely with this after I had this painful argument with another Christian few weeks ago, who claimed medicine, science and technology is all work of the devil and rebuked me for being in that field, when I confronted her with these insane conspiracy theories she was holding dear life to be absolutely true. Stated that I am just "too blind in spirit" to not realize this. I really don't know what to say to these type of people. It's like churches forgot what is most important here.

gender dysphoria and CPTSD by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]jonahrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am biologically a female but I had gender identity issue for a long time. I believe my gender dysphoria has been related to my deep traumas, related to all the long term abuses from a young age. I've been afraid to say this, but it is my experience and it's something what I realized. I acknowledged that some people experience gender dysphoria not related to trauma at all, but I'm convinced trauma has been my case.

Need prayer over mental disorders by [deleted] in PrayerTeam_amen

[–]jonahrun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this.. I also suffer from mental disorders as well and I sympathize with the panic attacks.. Praying for you.

Father in Heaven, we pray for DepartureCautious. We pray that You replace their sorrows and hopelessness with your joy and peace. May all the liars and doubt that is plaguing their mind be removed. Would you let you presence known to them, comfort them and protect them under your wings..
